I'll be frank: I am not a fan of Valentine's Day. The colors, the flowers, the corniness — it always brings out the cynic in me. But if anything can stamp it out, its a great dress and a Hollywood kiss (even if the "Die Hard" premiere doesn't seem like the most romantic locale). Backless gown's can be scary, between the bra issues they inevitably cause and the nagging worry that they'll fall off your shoulders; not the best recipe for great conversation on an already awkward day. With V-day stress, it's best to keep it classy like Bruce Willis' wife in a demure piece with a touch of skin.
Channel her style with these cute-but-sexy back slit pieces. Because everyone wants to look their best on Valentine's Day, whether it's for a dinner with your boyfriend of a few years or a "Screw Valentine's" bar run with friends.
Lace Up
Urban Bohemian
It's still winter — so you don't have to guilt yourself into a strapless dress. Especially if you're rushing to dinner after work, this ethereal, chiffon dress can take you straight from the office to a romantic meal.

Modern Maven
A twist on a modern evening gown, the back of this dress is a double-whammy: the sporty style of the razorback with the subtlety of a back slit. You won't even have to pick out jewelry, just let the chrome embellishment on the front do all the work.
Layered Evening Gown, That Shuu Girl
Eternal Romantic
You'll look straight out of Downton Abbey in this vintage-inspired, corseted dress. The high neck doesn't become nun-like thanks to the sheerness of the lace detail — and of course, the slim slit in the back.

Dress Down
Hey, it's not like there's a rule that you have to wear a dress on V-Day. Opt for this simple sleeveless top paired with some dark denim. With a simple undo, you'll get your money's worth by showing off the triangular cutout in the back.
