Best Date Night Outfits
1. Simple Date Night OUtfit: Basic LBD + Leather Jacket
I can’t think of anything more classic as a date night outfit than a little black dress. The simplicity of the dress makes a good background against a statement jacket and any fun accessories you add to the look. Pair your LBD with a leather jacket or a moto jacket and you have a look that can be styled year-round.

For matching footwear, try combat boots for an edgy look, tall boots for a fall date night outfit, or strappy sandals for a summer date look. The footwear options are endless when styling with a black dress. And let’s not forget a classic black pump to add some feminine flair. Add a pop of color with a cute clutch or mini bag.

2. Winter Date Night Outfit: V-Neck Sweater + Matching Jeans + Tall Boots
Styling a duotone look is simple when your shoes are the pop of contrast. Tonal looks help create length and fluidity in the body while contrasting pieces add interest to a simple date outfit.
Style a v-neck sweater with a pair of your best-fitting jeans to create a sexy, but casual date night outfit. A wide v-neck may show some extra skin, which is flirty and fun, but still keeps things a bit cozy. Amp up the sass with a pair of tall boots that easily style over your jeans for a definite head-turner at a sports bar or a brewery.
I love to add a contrasting piece like the black boots to create an unexpected look for a winter date outfit. This is a style tip used for any casual chic look, something done well by Parisian women.

A simple tank, even a knit style, with a pair of relaxed trousers is the perfect go-to date outfit when you’re in a rush or you don’t want to look like you’ve tried too hard. It doesn’t get much simpler for summer date night outfit with a cute pair of ballet flats or sandals.
Style a simple date outfit like this with a pair of elevated flats as opposed to a cheap, basic pair. Footwear says a lot about a person, so it’s an important component of your outfit on a first date.

5. Sexy Date Night OUtfits: Sheer Top + Satin Pants
Lace is the ultimate sexy material for a date night outfit, as is its younger sister, mesh. You have the sultry, see-through factor you can choose to layer a cami or bra under depending on the look you’re going for.
Style a pair of slinky satin or silk pants to create a super, feel-good look that’s equally comfortable without being too dressy (although perfect for both the stylish restaurant and the nightclub after).
This date night look can be styled with any type of footwear for a year-round date, indoors or out. I love dressy jogger pants because they’re so comfortable for how cute they look.

This may be my favorite outfit combination to wear on a date because it’s so versatile. Take any flirty top whether it’s a low-cut knit top, a sheer blouse, or a bodycon sleeveless turtleneck, and belt it with a slinky maxi skirt.
Add a heeled boot or shoe to give a little height and you have a super feminine date night look that works year-round with different tops.
If you’re attending a winter concert or a jazz concert for a date, a slinky skirt is a great option. This outfit is perfect for dancing in and ensures you won’t overheat. Opt for an open-toed boot in spring and summer.

7. Casual Date Night Outfit: Blazer + Band T-Shirt + Jeans
There’s not a going out outfit post that goes by without me mentioning a band t-shirt. But hey, I’m a huge fan of the style (especially when a personal touch is added, re: below). This date outfit look would totally work with a plain white t-shirt as well, so you do you!
But, if you go to a lot of concerts (or maybe you’re going on a concert date) this is a winning outfit. The blazer just takes the look to a different level, a mix of classy and casual, which never fails to please.
