Turtleneck + Slip Dress + Over-the-knee Boots
It’s layering season, ladies. Take a page out of Courtney Danielle’s playbook and transition a spaghetti strap minidress into autumn by wearing it over a thin turtleneck and covering up your legs in a pair of over-the-knee boots.
Get the look: Free People turtleneck ($40); By the Way dress ($66); Stuart Weitzman boots ($798)
Swingy Minidress + Combat Boots
Watch and learn as Coco Bassey shows you how to wear a leg-baring minidress without feeling too naked. First, stick to a loose-fitting silhouette to contrast the short length. Next, instead of a heeled shoe, try something a little edgier, like a black moto boot. Done and done.
Get the look: Ali & Jay minidress ($108); Via Spiga boots ($295)
Midi Dress + Moto Jacket
Speaking of creating contrast, we’re so into Olivia Jeanette’s choice to toughen up a feminine midi dress with a leather jacket. The resulting look strikes the perfect balance between sweet and edgy.
Get the look: Dress the Population dress ($198); BlankNYC jacket ($98)
Camisole + Midi Skirt + Kitten Heels
Leopard is the print of the season, as modeled so chicly here by Krystal Bick. You can treat it like a neutral and wear it with bold colors and other prints, but for a date night we love the idea of keeping it simple and classic with black-and-white accoutrements.
Get the look: BP. camisole ($22); Diane von Furstenberg skirt ($298); Sam Edelman heels ($56)
Lbd + Statement Heels
This is an easy-to-recreate look that never ever gets old. If you’re sticking to a basic frock, make like Grace Atwood and jazz it up with cool shoes and a bold bag.
Get the look: Halogen LBD ($99); Loeffler Randall heels ($338)
Suit + T-shirt + Sneakers
A suit might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think ‘date night,’ but Tiffany Jais’s ensemble should make you reconsider. Instead of pairing it with pumps and a button-down, wear your matching trousers and blazers with a casual tee and white comfortable sneakers.
Get the look: Topshop blazer ($51) and pants ($29); Hanes x Karla T-shirt ($)30; Puma sneakers (110)
Sweater Dress + Belt Bag
As Sommar Theodore proves, belt bags are still going strong. This fall, try fastening one atop a cozy sweater dress and adding a trusty pair of ankle boots. It’s as chic as it is comfortable.
Get the look: Eliza J dress ($148); Botkier New York belt bag ($111)
Jeans + Graphic Tee + Blazer
Caroline Juen’s look is a little bit sophisticated, a little bit rock and roll. The jeans and T-shirt keep things cool and effortless, while the blazer and pumps dress it up. Tuck the tee in for added polish.
Get the look: Levi's jeans ($98); Lauren Moshi tee ($97); Mural blazer ($74)
