@daniellejinaduStyle Notes: Jeans and a nice top will always serve you well. For fashionable kudos, opt for straight-leg denim and a satin blouse.
High-rise jeans look great with tops tucked in.

@emmalegerStyle Notes: If you know your date is going to take a fancy turn, slip into velvet suiting for the perfect formal but fashionable balance.

@dawn.tanStyle Notes: Dresses are always a date-night fail-safe, but skirts and tops look just as sleek. Stick to monochromatic or neutral palettes, and you can’t go wrong.
If in doubt, I always add a chain necklace to my outfits.

@femmeblkStyle Notes: Wide-leg trousers are now a wardrobe staple, whether you wear them to work or at the weekend. Make them feel more “date night” with a sweetheart-neckline top and a top-handle bag.
Black and brown is such a luxe combination.

@jeannine.roxasStyle Notes: The appeal of suits and co-ords is that they take all the effort out of assembling your outfit but look seriously pulled-together.

@oliviamarcusStyle Notes: Is there any occasion a little black dress doesn’t work for? This year, the best options feature subtle rhinestone embellishments, which can be dressed up or down depending on your date location. If it’s on the fancy side, up the ante with a beaded bag.
This looks just like the designer iterations that came before it.

@andi_munStyle Notes: If you’re still not sure whether to dress smartly or casually for your date night, turn your attention to the cardigan. With the ability to make even the fanciest dresses feel more casual, pair yours with a frock in a similar colour, and finish with whatever shoes you feel most comfortable in.
You’ll always get the wear out of a pair of classic tan knee boots.

@monikhStyle Notes: The last thing you want to be is cold when the sun goes down, so why not make your jacket the focal point of your look? Look for streamlined styles that won’t look odd being left on, and wear them with a simple top, jeans and mules.
Follow Carrie Bradshaw’s lead, and make every date night a Manolo moment.

@raeannlangasStyle Notes: Minidresses and knee boots are one of my favourite outfit combinations and always my go-to for cocktail-based date nights.
White boots will make every outfit you wear them with feel fresh.

@sasha.meiStyle Notes: We’ve already covered the fact that co-ords are a date-night style saviour. If you love clashing colours, try wearing a bright two-piece with a pair of statement boots or a bold bag.
Charles & Keith's shoulder bags could easily pass for designer.

@taniceelizabethStyle Notes: Monochrome dressers, this one is for you. Washed black jeans feel more evening-friendly than classic blue, especially if you add heeled pumps.
