Date Night Outfit Ideas for Women

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s no secret that an extra-special date might be on the horizon - so what better time to treat yourself to a new outfit? Whether you’re one for luxe dinners, a fun daytime activity, a night on the town, or even something cosier and lowkey - Rock My Wedding are here to save the day. We’ve put together a range of stylish date night outfit ideas, so whether you’re shopping by season, style or occasion - you’re guaranteed to drop jaws on your next date night.

Seasonal Date Night Outfits

First things first, to find the perfect date night outfit - considering the season comes before anything else. You want to feel comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing, and let’s be real - the weather plays a huge part in that. From ensuring you don’t catch a chill this Valentine’s Day to looking ahead when sun-filled romantic days out become an option again, shop our favourite date night looks for winter, autumn, spring and summer. 

Winter Date Night Outfit Ideas

Going on a date in the winter months? We promise you’ll have an even better time if you choose your outfit wisely. To stay on trend (and toasty), you can’t go wrong with a long-sleeved corduroy mini dress - perfect for adding some wintry texture - sparkly tights for the party season date night vibes, and, of course, some knee-high heeled boots. 

Autumn Date Night Outfit Ideas

Autumn date night outfits are all about finding the perfect transitional fit. You want to ensure your outfit fends off the chill, but you may not need to lug around a puffy coat and can (hopefully) skip the tights. We recommend a stylish knitted jumper dress and high boots, once again. Tan-toned suede or velvet pieces are perfect for incorporating some autumnal hues - extra points if your boots and bag match, too!

Spring Date Night Outfit Ideas

With spring just around the corner - it’s time to start thinking about your floral fits. As this is likely the first sign of sun you’ve seen for a while, spring dates require skipping the knee-high boots for something more open. It’s not always the hottest in spring, so some wide-leg lightweight trousers with a sleeveless top usually strike the perfect balance. 

Summer Date Night Outfit Ideas

Summer is a season we all love dressing for, and it’s never too early to plan your warm-weather outfits for later this year. From picnics to alfresco meals, wine tasting at vineyards, and more, you can’t go wrong with a mini dress that has some colour. For accessories, metallics are perfect for radiating the summer glow!

Date Night Outfits by Style & Fit

Your date night outfit should reflect your personality, meaning it's all about choosing a look that feels true to you. From sleek and sophisticated to effortless and casual, your style sets the mood for the evening. Whether you're aiming for polished elegance, relaxed vibes, or something a little more out there, we’ve curated a selection of outfits to match your unique style. 

Casual Date Night Outfit Ideas

For those who have frequent date nights (as you should), you’ll know that not all dates require you to go all out on formality. Sometimes, it’s simply about spending quality time together, whether popping into your favourite local restaurant, heading out for an evening drink or seeing a film in the cinema. When have the classic jeans and a nice top combo let you down? Never! Paired with some staple yet elevating slingback low heels, we’re obsessed! 

Classy Date Night Outfit Ideas

Head for a fancy dinner or cocktail bar in the evening? Special occasions like Valentine’s Day mean upcoming date nights might be fancier than usual. Club L London is the home of classy and trendy special occasion dresses, perfect for events from date night to your wedding day and beyond. If the date is more upmarket, switch out the mules or slingbacks for some strappy-heeled sandals, and don’t forget to accessorise with gorgeous jewellery.

Sexy Date Night Outfit Ideas

You can’t go wrong with a staple pair of denim, a crisp and fresh white t-shirt and a good jacket or shacket you can wear time and time again.

Men's Summer Date Night Outfit Ideas

The sun is shining and you have a daytime date with your special someone. What to wear? Opt for light colours and loose silhouettes for a stylish, trendy, and breathable look for a date outfit that screams summer. A lightweight, sleeveless shirt, some linen trousers or chinos, alongside classic white trainers perfectly mixes not trying too hard while looking good! 

Men's Winter Date Night Outfit Ideas

If you have a date that’s a whole lot sooner than summer - think Valentine’s Day, for example - date dressing for winter is a special skill! It’s all about finding an outfit you love while still keeping warm. Black jeans, long-sleeved t-shirts and stylish wool-blend jackets are essential for winter date nights. 

Men's Formal Date Night Outfit Ideas

Heading somewhere special? Well, a formal date night outfit might be required! From fancy dinners to upmarket cocktail bars or maybe even something like the theatre - it’s probably time to bring out the shirt and shoes. While a jacket or tie might not be necessary, an all-black look is a sleek and suave way to go for formal date outfits. 

Men's Dinner Date Night Outfit Ideas

As we mentioned, dinner dates are commonly occurring. While not always the most original option - what can go wrong with a delicious meal out? If you’re running out of inspiration for your next dinner date night outfit, a casual yet elevated pair of trousers, a good quality jumper, and a stylish jacket that ties that entire look together are ideal for this time of year.
