Although date nights can be a drag to dress for in the winter, I’ve grown to appreciate the range of activities that you can do from ice skating to winter concerts and movie nights to romantic dinners. I’m usually buried in layers throughout the season, so I always try to mix things up and wear something fun for a night out on the town. That usually means breaking out my best pieces whether I’m going after a more casual vibe or a dressier look. Saks Fifth Avenue always has me covered on that front with their well-rounded mix of luxe brands and budget-friendly pieces. I love when a retailer has a range of options because it means you can create various outfits to suit any environment. Saks even has an entire section of their site dedicated to date night dressing (HERE), so you can quickly pull together a date-worthy look. Ahead, I’m sharing some of the pieces that you can rely on to feel your best on a romantic outing.
Leather Separates
Leather pants always lend a cool vibe, so I often reach for them in the winter. If you really want to take things up a notch, a slick pair like these Commando ones always ups the ante. You can dress them up with heeled booties and a cozy sweater – but they’re equally cute dressed down with an oversized shirt. I love how an oversized layer balances out the slim proportions – just perfect for a casual date night.
Dressy Top
With frigid temperatures outside, dresses can be less than ideal. The next best thing to achieve a confidence-inducing look is a dressy top. Anything with floral prints, lace, puff sleeves and sheer fabric is fair game – and looks killer with jeans and boots. Saks has so many cute styles that are wearable throughout the year.
Dresses…
We all have those moments when nothing seems to beat a dress. When I’m going out for a special occasion, dresses always make me feel my best. Knit fabrications are a no-fail choice when you want something that can transition seamlessly between different environments. Later in the winter when it’s almost spring, you can get away with cute floral prints and white frocks. For everything else in between, I tend to go for dark lace dresses and silky slips.
Casual
Cocktail
Cozy Jacket
Outerwear is obviously a huge part of winter date night outfits. Faux fur or shearling coats make everything look more luxe, especially cocktail dresses. But if you’re keeping things low key, shackets are your best friend. This teddy shacket is as comfortable as it is playful and cute.
Mini Bag
A handbag is the last thing you need to complete a date night look. My top two picks are a mini bag or a clutch. Both styles manage to bring in that luxe factor that other accessories don’t. This Balenciaga Hourglass bag gives you best of both worlds. The strap can be thrown across your body or removed completely to be carried as a clutch.
