In fact, it’s their off-duty look that has garnered one of the most sought after trends of the year (and one that we predict is here to stay) — you guessed it, we’re talking about the model off duty look. The model off duty look is not an entirely new concept. In fact, models had a great sense for street style long before everyone started there was a name for it.

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.

Today, we’re lusting for Olivia’s black on black outfit that’s mostly polished with a bit risqué. So, how exactly does Olivia wear this ephemerally chic and dark hue without looking…well gothic?
Keep reading to see how she does it. Then, go a step further to shop our favorite picks to recreate the look.

Like Chloé? You’ll Love This New Handbag Line
If there’s one handbag brand with a huge presence amongst the fashion elite, it’s Chloé. The French fashion house has a long standing devout cult following —from celebrities and bloggers to the fashion elite and just about every stylish girl that ever was. Known for it’s bohemian, feminine details, Chloé constructs handbags and accessories with a seventies flair, making them a highly coveted, luxury staple with chic young women. The problem? Chloé’s gorgeous bags come with a lofty price—and while we are all for investing in these timeless pieces, we know the importance of maintaining a budget (2017 New Years Resolution anyone?).
Enter Patricia Nash and her line of modern, meticulously made handbags. From crossbody saddle styles, to luxe Italian leather totes, the collection of beautiful handbags embodies Chloé’s style and luxury quality at a wallet-friendly price tag. And although this Knoxville-based brand is relatively new, it has skyrocketed in popularity, now being sold in Nordstrom, Macy’s, and Dillard’s. And much like Chloé, celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Denise Richards, and Vanessa Hudgens love the handbags for when they want an on-the-go way to elevate their street wear. So, if you aren’t quite ready to invest in a piece by Chloé, we highly recommend checking out Nash’s bags for equally exceptional style at a fraction of the price.
