Sexy NYC Date Night Outfits
So....it's date night again. You've just gotten off a particularly long day at work- nothing got done on time and you're going to have to play catch-up next week. Maybe you've barely gotten the kids to bed, or you're utterly exhausted.
Do you really have the energy to find something to wear and go to a restaurant?
Sometimes you have to call it a night, but if you ask this stylist's opinion, you'll be happy you went out!
At the end of a crazy week filled with stress and overwhelm, a sexy little date night with your partner can be the best remedy.
The only thing standing between you and your front door is the age-old question, "What will I wear?"
That's where we come in. Ask yourself these two big questions as you get dressed, and you'll love the final look.
Question 1 - Where Is The Date?
A key to dressing to impress is knowing where you're going. Ideally, your date would have planned it all out already, but if you're still deciding on a venue, pick one that fits your mood.
Are you feeling...
Casual and pulled together?
Fun and creative?
Dressy?
Date Outfits For Cocktails At Sunset
To be the belle of the cocktail bar, go for simple and chic.
For a more elevated casual look, you can't go wrong with an elevated button-up that's just unbuttoned enough. Pair it back with jeans or another casual pant, a sexy bra to peek out, and kitten heels.
Swap your typical LBD (little black dress) for with a slinky dress made of natural materials like 100% satin or silk to really give 90s model off-duty vibes.
What to Wear For A Daytime Date To A Natural Wine Bar In Brooklyn
Call us crazy, but we think cocktails and wine are two completely different occasions.
To capture that effortless Park Slope cool mom look, go for a looser silhouette (top or bottom) paired with strappy heels or flats, and a baseball cap. Wear colorful shades to match the bougie orange glass you'll be sipping from.
If you're feeling daring, pull a Carrie Bradshaw and layer a slip over some light-wash denim and high heels.
What to Wear for a Sexy Dinner Date Downtown
For oysters or pasta with a view, try a sleek & toned-down sexy vibe.
This is the perfect setting for showing a little skin.
We love a plunging neckline paired with some tastefully layered jewelry. Go for a kitten heel or ballet flat that's comfortable enough for a stroll after your date has paid the bill (a must, in our book).
What to Wear When The Girl at The Gala
So you have tickets to something really fancy. First, don't panic shop.
You'll turn heads in a bold, floor-length gown in classic shapes. Avoid too many bells and whistles with an overly patterned, embellished, or scarily colored dress; keep your accessories light and minimal.
Choose something comfortable and breathable that you won't mind being in all night!
Question 2 - Who Is Your Date?
If you're a single lady, it's great to take into account who your date is when you're getting ready. Are they the artsy type, or are they the ones who will wear a Rolex to lunch?
People love feeling like they belong, and they are more likely to connect when they see themselves in you.
Take an extra look at their dating profile and consider what you know about them to see what they're into. See if you can't channel some of those vibes.
The Tortured Artist
If your date is the type to spend most of their afternoons at their painting studio in Tribeca, try a gender bent look or play with unconventional colors!
If you're not the creative quirky type, distract them with an elevated sexy style (like a silk dress).
The Music Man
Is your date the music-exec type? Is he often found at some local dive, scouting his favorite new band on any given night of the week? Take the "rockstar girlfriend" look for a spin with bold sexy prints (like animal) and well-worn leather.
The Finance Bro
Does your date spend every spare moment at the office, investing, and playing golf? When you're getting dressed, go for ultra-sophisticated, sleek, elegant pieces that fit well and look like he paid for them.
The Free Spirit
Could your date be found in his local community garden on the weekends? Do they eat just a bit too much granola? Look for Cali coastal inspiration with vintage leather and billowy fabrics like linen and cotton.
