When it comes to a date night, the last thing you’d want to do is come across as being too casual in your attire, or God-forbid, unkempt and frumpy. Sure, charming your date with your personality is an important aspect of the evening. But being stylish (and subtly sexy) is just as crucial. After all, you want to make a striking first impression. So don’t skimp on your outfit. A perfect evening dress will help you cover all the bases and secure a second date.
From silk to satin, lace to lingerie-style, and maxi to mini, these are some terrific frocks that will blow your date’s socks off.
Splurge:
Put on your dancing shoes with this gold dress to elicit the ’70s vibe. Perfect outfit to hit the clubs together!
If you’re meeting for brunch, try this off-shoulder cherry print maxi that sports a ruched bust. It’s an alluring piece that highlights your collarbone and back without being too provocative. All you need is a dainty necklace and some statement earrings.
Show off some skin, but in a classy way. Try this off-shoulder piece that flaunts your shoulders and gives a hint of leg.
We love this piece that is an interesting blend of femininity and sensuality, thanks to the sheer sleeves, plunging neckline and low back. So many surprises all in one! Complete it with simple pair of black mid-heel sandals.
Dazzle your date with this sequinned bodycon dress that hugs your figure and shows off your legs. No need for accessories — this piece is outstanding enough on its own. Just carry a simple clutch and your outfit is set to impress.
Wear this sultry bustier dress to make a strong impression. We love the girlish flounce and the pointed neckline!
A bright red dress tells your date you’re feeling optimistic about your evening. This silk crepe mini dress will look good with a simple pair of black pumps and a bedazzled clutch.
Let your date see your feminine side with this pink number. We love that super sexy asymmetric hem that shows off your limbs. Your date will love it too.
Steal:
Show off your long limbs with a mini dress. Dress this ruched piece with a pair of caramel strappy heeled sandals and a belt bag.
Exude elegance with something that is made in a luxe material, like this velvet number. Its cheery colour will make you the centre of attention.
Go for a simple white bodycon to play up your curves without looking like you’re trying too hard. Up the style factor with a statement necklace and some black brogues.
Covering up doesn’t mean prudish. Aim for elegance and class with this purple midi dress. Jazz it up with some bold and bright orange court heels.
Thinking of a slip-dress for a date night? We like! But to prevent looking like you just got out of bed, avoid going for those with lace detail. Pair this bright pink number with a pair of lace-up heels to give it added depth.
Make your date a smooth one with this buttery soft satin slip dress. Layer a long-line blazer on top of it for a touch of chic, if you’re heading to the movies.
Wow your date with a shiny dress like this metallic thread A-line piece that highlights your shoulders.
This number may look conservative because of its lace and ruffle details, but we beg to differ. It’ll look stylish when worn with the right accessories, such as a statement chandelier earrings and a pair of velvet pumps.
