IT'S A DATE
From a romantic dinner for two to a chilled evening at home, these outfit ideas will set your heart aflutter.
Of all the outfit conundrums life throws at us, date night is perhaps the most difficult to figure out. First, you’ve to figure out what it is you’re doing on the date and plan your outfit accordingly. But even as straight forward as that sounds, all kinds of irrational (but totally justified) questions rear their head. Is it dressy or dressy-casual? Can you wear trainers?
But worry not as not only have we come up with four romantic date night ideas, we’ve also found the perfect outfits to match. While we can’t guarantee a love match, we’re pretty confident these fool-proof date night outfit formulas will impress your other half. So whether you’ve got those first-date jitters or you and your S.O. are just carving out some long overdue one-on-one time, be inspired by these date night outfit ideas.
A ROMANTIC DINNER DATE
A dinner date is a classic for good reason. Whether you book your favourite spot or try somewhere new, taking time out to share a nice meal, have a meaningful conversation and dress up for one another is a simple but special way to show you care. This Seersucker Checked suit from Eleventy is the very definition of smart-casual. Featuring a pair of jogger-style trousers with a drawstring waist, this two-piece is a more relaxed take on the classic suit. Pair with a plain white tee to keep the look cool but casual or dress it up by adding a formal shirt. Finish with a pair of Jordaan Horsebit Loafers from Gucci for an outfit they’re sure to swoon over.

A COSY NIGHT IN
Sometimes the best date nights are those spent at home, ordering takeout and cosying up on the sofa. And for dates like these, there’s only one outfit to reach for: loungewear. While you’d be forgiven for thinking this is a lazy option that’s bound to leave your date disappointed, the trick is to be intentional with every detail. And nothing says date night loungewear better than this Comme Des Garçons Play Heart Logo Hoodie worn over more hearts. Try this Heart Crew Neck T-Shirt also from Comme Des Garçons and add these Durrington Organic Cotton Sweatpants from Farah Vintage for the full effect. After all, comfort is key.
