You can't go wrong with a black bodycon dress with a slit
It’s elegant, shows some skin without being over the top, and can be easily dressed up or down. This dress is ideal for a lovely dining experience, with the ruched side that is always so flattering. In the summer, the strapless shoulders show off collarbones.
For this look, I added a pair of clear transparent heels, which is trendy right now. Also statement wing earrings for a touch of class and edge. And a small brown vanity bag, the perfect sized bag for an evening out.
Bright and bold colors shine in the evening
Whether you choose a fuchsia, red, or blue dress, adding a pop of color is always a good idea. It shows confidence and that you are not afraid to stand out. For this look, I went with a bright crystal blue midi dress (also with a slit on one side) and paired it with matching blue crystal heels and a soft pink small bag to complement the blue.
A quick tip: Using a shawl or a wrap in the summer evening is my favorite way to keep cozy in theaters or at restaurants. As opposed to wearing jackets that could hide some of your outfit details on the shoulders and arms. This white wrap is under $50 and is so soft and cozy for a night out in the summertime.
Keep it simple and comfortable in a slip dress
A slip dress is a perfect choice for a summer date night. It’s classic, elegant, and can be easily dressed up or down. This floral slip number is great not only for a date night but also for a daytime event (for example: a daytime wedding, or an afternoon cocktail hour) as well. The colors are soft and romantic and I especially love the double strap detail, one on the shoulder, and one on the arm.
I reused the wrap from the previous look for this outfit and added a pair of feathery heels for a fun and flirty touch.
Make a statement in a strapless mini dress
No matter what your plans are for date night, a strapless mini dress always makes a statement. I love this mini dress, old, similar dress here with a dramatic bow on the chest. It’s fun, flirty, and perfect for summer.
To complete the look, add a pair of crystal nude heels and a rhinestone and pearl embellished cage clutch (this one is a designer look for less, under $50)
Hot Fiery Red Cocktail Dress for a Formal Summer Soiree
And last but not least, if you’re attending a summer fête or a more formal event, this hot fiery red cocktail dress is the way to go. It’s sexy and will definitely turn heads. The one-strap shoulder is stunning on anyone and the slit on the side is ultra-flattering.
To complete the look, add a pair of nude heels and a pink marble clutch.
