Oh date night. It’s time to put down the sweatpants, put on a bra and have a good time with our significant others. Stuck on what to wear, and feeling all “dressed” out? There are plenty of ways to mix and match your wardrobe to create some solid alternatives to the date night dress.
Check out ten of our favorite date-night outfits that don’t involve a dress.

5. Off-The-Shoulder Top + Cropped Denim

6. Statement Top + Skinnies + Bright Sandals

7. All Black Everything

8. Peasant Blouse + Denim Skirt

9. Blouse + Pencil Pants + Loafers

10. Red blouse + blue denim + nude mules
