Choose a date night outfit around the place you are going and what makes you feel comfortable. Dinner plans may call for a considered detail, but the outfit should still feel like something you would choose for yourself.

An evening for two.

Explore the outfit and styling notesStart with a familiar shape
Use a dress or separates in a silhouette you already enjoy wearing. Then add one expressive element, such as a deeper colour, a textured bag or jewellery that feels personal.
Think about the route
If the evening includes a walk or public transport, decide on shoes and outerwear before finishing the look. An indoor outfit and a cold journey need different layers.
Keep the budget focused
Try changing the top, shoes or accessories around a piece you own before buying a complete outfit. Compare the four seasonal versions below for ideas on how layers and textures alter the same occasion.
