Use Valentine's Day as an excuse to take that winter slump of sweats and Uggs and turn to a sultry look.

Sunday offers the perfect time to put some effort into the wardrobe.

If you're taken, use Sunday to spice things up with the lover -- and if you're single, go out on the town with your single friends and turn those boys' heads.

Often we turn to the slimming and sophisticated color black for a dressy look, but try to mix it up and go with a bold, sexy red, whether it's an accessory or article of clothing,

1 Red flair

Pair a sexy red top with a black pencil skirt. And don't be afraid to lower that neckline and show those girls off. Or wear some spicy red pants and pair them with a black top. Don't be afraid to look sexy. Love is in the air. Or perhaps it's just pheromones...

2 Red heels

It's a fact. Guys go nuts over a pair of killer red heels. You can even wear all black for this one. Nothing adds glamour, style and sophistication to an outfit like a pair of heels. Just make sure you can walk in them, as wobbling in heels may offset that sex appeal...

3 Red accessories

Go bold with a large, red accent necklace, a red belt or a red clutch. Make the rest of the outfit a little more subdued to ensure the accessories stand out. Check out Target and Macy's for some great costume jewelry.

4 Red jacket

A fire-engine red jacket will turn all heads. Really. Choose one that is fitted, slimming and smooth. Stay away from a puffy winter jacket for this evening and show off those curves.

5 Red lingerie

Ladies, surprise those boyfriends with a saucy number under that hot outfit. And single ladies, just because nobody may see it, knowing that you look sexy under there will make you feel sultry. Or have a red lace bra peeking out of a black top and be prepared to tell those boys to back down.
