8 Date-Night Outfit Templates That Are Supremely Flattering And Gorgeous
by The Candidly Team
Are you like us in this way? Where the idea of getting dressed up to go out sounds tremendously fun in the moment we’re making the reservations, buying the tickets, scheduling the sitter, etc. But when the moment comes to actually do it, we feel pretty much…deflated.
Is that the word?
What even is the word for feeling depleted of energy, devoid of inspiration, icky about our hair and skin, probably some degree of bloated, and like we’d rather be shoved into an ice bucket than pried out of loungewear?
It’s not that we don’t love “dress up” clothes. We really do. Probably too much.
We look forward to an occasion where we can wear them (and look good in them), but putting it all together often winds up feeling like too much of a lift. Or a disappointment.
Because even when we do put in the effort, we end up making choices that don’t really work together. The only top that feels good on our stomachs looks weird with the only jeans that don’t look too casual, and it’s all wrong with the shoes we’ve been dying to have an excuse to wear even though they also happen to butcher our feet.
See? Deflating.
But because we love our significant others AND our precious date nights with them, we decided we need a solution. Which we found in the form of a template. Eight of them actually.
We compiled eight VERY easy, VERY flattering, VERY specific date night looks that make us feel all the things we want to feel when dolling ourselves up to swirl around town with our partners, (who incidentally will never see this article, because they take all of 22 seconds to get ready, because they’re pretty much always wearing the same. exact. template).
We don’t like to over-promise, but we’re just gonna go ahead and say, you will look excellent in any one of these looks. They’re fun. Foolproof. And they give you just the right amount of wiggle room to make them as sexy as you see fit. You’ll see what we mean.
Get ready to make reservations. Off you go.
