Date night outfits

Outfits for dinners, drinks and nights out, from a casual first date to an anniversary dinner. Every post here is a set of complete looks: the dress or separates, the shoes, the bag and the finishing touches, with notes on when each one works best.

Posts are sorted by season, so you can see what works on a warm rooftop in July or at a candlelit dinner in December. The season and dress code filters above the posts narrow things down: casual for pizza and a movie, smart casual for a nice restaurant, cocktail for a dressier evening.

If you're not sure where to start, spring going-out outfits covers dinners, drinks and girls' nights, and classy summer date night outfits collects warm-weather looks. For December plans, see Christmas date night outfits.

Dressing for a dress code on an invitation rather than a date? The dress code decoder explains what each one means.
