Whether it’s your first date or a casual dinner with your husband, your outfit should inherently do one thing: Make you feel your best.
Of course, that’s going to mean something different for each person.
When it comes to putting together a date night outfit, the event should be taken into consideration. A romantic dinner or a casual date night outfit will require different outfits for the most part.
Summer Classy Date Night Outfits
The best date night outfits aren’t exclusive to a little black dress. Yes, we all have one in our closet, but there are other cute summer date night outfits.
Got an evening dinner reservation at a fancy restaurant? You can’t go wrong with a mini strapless dress and platform heels. Add some pops of color to a look, with either a red mini skirt or pink heels. It is summer after all.

Top + Skirt + Heels
Warmer days simply allow for more romantic evenings and what you choose to wear can really reflect the tone of the occasion.
A matching set is no longer reserved for the prim and proper; it’s for those who want to have a bit of fun.
Express your personal style with a colorful set or stick to a neutral set for a summer night date night. Ground the look with boldly colored pumps.
If it is the first or second date, it is best to keep your look somewhat modest.
Long skirts encapsulate polished elegance and—most importantly— provide coverage in one easy warm weather date outfit.
Plus, the silhouette can quickly be dressed up or down depending on the event and the time of day. Finish off with a simple top for a casual dinner date.
Button Down + Skirt + Heels
Miniskirts must be short and certainly sweet for a romantic date night. In fact, the skirts are seriously stylish when paired with an oversized button down.
It provides the perfect balance between the ultra-mini skirt and the oversized top.
For the illusion of even longer legs, wear shoes coordinated in the same hue.
Dress + Sandals
A red dress begs for a flirty night on the dance floor.
A strapless mini dress is the perfect date night outfit for those balmy summer nights.
Clean-lined shoulder-baring dresses in strapless silhouettes are a perfect look for a night of dancing after dinner. Inject more fun into the look with statement earrings, a chic clutch and strappy heels.
It’s not a date night outfit roundup if it doesn’t include a sleek tube dress number.
Upgrade a black dress with a fun, minimalist strapless dress that not only makes a statement with strappy sandals, but looks just as good dressed down with a favorite boxy blazer and a pair of knee-high boots.
A body-hugging number is the definition of a sexy black dress.
Blazer + Shorts + Ballet Flats
A tailored blazer continues to be one of the most versatile staples in a summer wardrobe – especially a chic blazer in white linen. There are endless outfit opportunities someone can create with a linen blazer.
For a casual coffee date, pair a white blazer with linen shorts for a chat over an iced coffee.
To keep the dress code relaxed, finish off with ballet flats or a pair of flat sandals.
Top + Trousers
Trousers provide the perfect opportunity for a casual date outfit.
They are equally polished and put together for a daytime date or a movie night.
An unfussy pair of pants makes almost any outfit look and feel effortless; and for that tailored-to-perfection look, a classic khaki or a beige pair, goes with absolutely anything and everything.
Vest + Jeans + Flats
Let’s not discredit the power of good old jeans. A pair of baggy jeans is a great way to keep things stylish, yet casual.
They have a fit similar to that of a wide-leg trouser, but also the effortless appeal of a blue jean.
Whether it be a chic bodysuit or a waistcoat, the styling options are endless for a summer classy date night outfit.
