Do you love the idea of going out to dinner, but struggle with what to wear?

You know, your hubby just told you that he got a reservation at the new restaurant in town. The happening spot with lots of folks wearing cute looks…

You’re so excited at the idea of going out but wonder what the right style to wear would be.

Well, look no further. I’ve got you covered with three Casual Date Night Outfits that you will love.

Check these three fun looks are all comfortable, pretty, and just a little bit sassy! Let’s take a look.

Three Casual Date Night Looks

Outfit #1 (of the Casual Date Night Looks)

Isn’t an all-black outfit such a go-to look for your favorite casual date night look? When I don’t know what to wear, I frequently reach for all black. Black in my top and pants is always slimming. But, since this is all about cute casual date night outfits, I like to add a bit of interest in the fabric or style of the top. In this cute date night outfit, I paired a darling (and very reasonable) black fuzzy Halogen top with classic black velvet skinny jeans.

The black fuzzy top is a great buy and very comfortable to wear. It’s very soft and not at all scratchy.

Black velvet is such a classic fabric. I wear it all fall and winter. Of course, I wear it during the holidays, but I also wear it for casual date night outfits like this one.

For accessories, I added grey suede booties, faux diamond stud earrings, my stainless steel Ebel watch and a silver bracelet. All this looks sleek, and a bit sexy. But we all know that a sleeveless top can be too cool sometimes on a fall or winter date night. So, look how I deal with that (in the next photo).

I added a cute Talbots boucle coat that I just draped over my shoulders for instant class. I love how this is reminiscent of a man’s jacket. It’s a neat solution to the ever-changing temperatures in restaurants and if you get too warm, you can just put the coat over the back of your chair.

Outfit #2 (of the Casual Date Outfits)

Isn’t this a cozy look for what to wear to a dinner date? In the fall and winter, I love to trot out fake fur vests. This one is old, but I have linked a very similar one here. I put it on over the same black velvet jeans as in the first outfit, but I switched out the top to a terrific Evereve top that is so pretty and versatile. By wearing a vest, the arms and midline of the top peek out, adding interest to the otherwise black look.

Here is a closeup of the top with the fur vest. I am wearing a size small. I added a pave diamond heart necklace (a great basic), and faux diamond stud earrings. Again, I am wearing grey suede booties.

Above you see the pretty black print top. It has a tiny bit of elastic at the bottom of the top and sleeves, which makes it easy to look tucked in even when it isn’t. I usually find elastic on the edge of a top to be annoying and unflattering, but it really works with this top. I am wearing a size small.

Here is a close-up of the Evereve top. Aren’t the colors amazing? The background is officially black, but depending on what I wear with it, it can look dark olive or slate grey. There is some mustard, cream, and even burgundy in this print making it very versatile. It would be a terrific Thanksgiving top too, don’t you think?

Outfit #3 (of the Casual Date Night Outfits)

Here is a bit sexier date night outfit. I put a satiny camisole (sold out, similar, here, here, and here) under a faux suede moto jacket. I wore these with a distressed pair of jeans and black suede booties. Again, I wore the diamond pave heart necklace with the faux diamond studs.

I think the pairing of a camisole with a moto jacket is a great combination. I like the juxtaposition of the feminine cami with the tougher aspects of a moto jacket. I love the smoothness of the satin top against the faux suede of the jacket.
