What to Wear for a Dinner Date

Many of my clients face challenges when it comes to dressing for special occasions that demand a bit more thought and effort. There are generally two main reasons for this. The first is that you might not have the right kind of clothes or even enough options in your wardrobe. The second reason could be that you have a wide array of choices but you’re unsure how to curate a stylish outfit. 

It's important to remember our style evolves over time, just as we do and so too should your wardrobe. 

When I envision a dinner date a few key elements come to mind: confidence, ease, effortlessness, attraction and feeling sexy.  

Feeling sexy in an outfit is a highly personal experience and it depends on your individual style personality. Some might think of floaty florals while others may lean towards a sleek black structured suit. Neither choice is right or wrong; it’s all about what feels right for you. 

Here are some suggestions: 

  1. Silky Fabrics: Silky materials can made of viscose or actual silk, depending on your budget. There is something undeniably sexy about the way silky material hug the body and gracefully float when you walk.  It could take the form of a slip dress with a jacket and heels, or opt for a slip skirt paired with a cami top or shirt. These outfits exude class and     femininity.

2. Leather Look Pants: Wearing leather pants can instantly boost your confidence. We often reserve them for evenings, making them a perfect choice for a dinner date. You can style them with a crisp white shirt for a classic look, or pair with your favourite cami top, or blouse. It’s edgy, classy and comfortable choice.

3. Lace: Often worn for an evening occasion, lace is a stunning delicate material for your date night. You can incorporate lace into your outfit by wearing a lace cami top with leather pants or your favourite trousers and kitten heels. Alternatively, a lace dress or skirt can be matched with a blazer jacket to achieve a romantic and elegant look.

Now, with these styling tips,  you’ll be feeling fabulous and confident on your dinner dates and evening occasions. I’d love to hear which of these looks you would choose for your date night?
