Whether you’re one half of a long-term pair or newly coupled up, figuring out what to wear for a date stays stressful. Putting together date night outfits that feel flirty and fun without looking too try-hard can feel like a style code you’re never going to crack. Luckily, that’s not the case–far from it, actually. The key is not to overthink it.
OK, we know that sounds easier said than done but it is, in fact, easy–and we can prove it. By stocking your closet with a few essentials, you’ll always have what you need to craft the perfect no-brainer, stress-free, and (best of all) super-stylish date-night outfits. No matter if you’re just going out for a casual coffee or doing it up with a big romantic dinner, the wardrobe staples ahead will have you dressed for date night success. Read on for the easy pieces that should be in your closet and ideas for how to wear them, courtesy of some of our favorite stylish ladies.
A lingerie-inspired cami is one of the building blocks of a successful date night wardrobe, thanks to its surprising versatility. You can play up the boudoir aspect by styling it with other silky and lacy pieces or go more casual with distressed jeans and a cozy knit. Either way, this piece helps add just the right amount of sexy.
With sneakers, heels, or boots, this flirty feminine staple never disappoints. And don’t think floral print dresses are only for spring, either–these prints make for pretty date wear, year round. Layer a turtleneck or jacket with yours while it’s still cold out, then shed those layers when the weather heats up.
It doesn’t get sexier than a pair of barely-there sandals. Ankle strap heels are a wardrobe must have: they work with everything from formal dresses to jeans and make for a sassy alternative to classic pumps. Not looking to stress over the right pair of date night footwear? This is your MVP shoe.
Is there anywhere you can’t wear a bodysuit? Answer: Nope. This layering wunderkind looks great under a dress or jumpsuit or all on its own tucked into a skirt or jeans. For a minimalist sexy look, try it the latter way and add extras like a statement belt or a layered necklace.
