Date-night ensembles can be tricky in the wintertime. Last week, one of my friends jokingly asked me, “How do you look hot but stay warm all at the same time?” And to that I say, don’t worry. I’ve got you covered—literally and figuratively.
In the warmer months, you can toss on an easy dress or top and skirt and be on your way, but when temperatures drop, it takes a lot more to layer up for practicality and still feel cute. Cutout knits and bodysuits, faux-leather pieces, and body-hugging dresses are on my list of subtle ways to nail date night while staying pragmatic. Finish the ensemble off with a classic longline coat and heeled boots for function and fashion. Although these night-out pieces make a statement, they are also a variation of multifunctional items that can be styled for many occasions, so they are definitely worth the investment.
Below, I’ve picked the pieces that will have you planning a date or a night around town in no time.
