18 Gobsmacking Dresses To Wear On Your Next Date

by Samantha Jaconi

The first thing that comes to every girls mind when she knows she has a date night on the calendar is a feeling of great enthusiasm and eagerness —namely the idea that we could be meeting the man of our dreams, someone you might really like.

While the sheer idea of this is incredibly exciting—it can also be seriously stress-inducing. Before a date, there are a million things that come to our mind, one of the most stressful things leading up to a first date is finding what to wear. After all, the sartorial stakes are never higher than when your meeting someone for the first time and that person will have all their attention on you. Too serious, and be unapproachable. Too stylish, and you’ll look too flippant; too sexy, and you’ll look, well, not like girl-friend material. So, what to wear?

As exciting as prepping for a date can be, we know it can sometimes be seriously stress-inducing. One can attribute some of the stress to nervous jitters, and while we can’t always completely, we want to look our best, but also to show a lack of any serious sartorial effort. So, we thought we’d take some of that stress off your shoulders by rounding up some of the best date night dresses from our favorite brands. All dresses are tried, tested and trued.
