Whether you’re swiping right on Tinder, finding your match on eHarmony or doing it the old school way and meeting at the coffee shop, it’s always good to have a few key wardrobe pieces to get you ready for wintertime dates It can be tricky pulling off a sexy and sophisticated date night look when you need to keep warm and dry through wind, rain, snow and cold temperatures. Snow and rain gear isn’t necessarily typical date attire. Here are a few ideas to make the perfect winter date wardrobe:
1. The Sweater… The cozy wardrobe staple can be the perfect option for date night if you choose one with a cropped hem to pair with something body-con and high-waisted, or one that fits perfectly around your waist to show your figure or even one with a low neckline. Cosette Crop Sweater, $68.22 CAD, Nasty Gal.
2. The Pants… Give your regular denim a break and try out a pair of faux leather leggings or waxed denim to switch up your pant game. You can’t go wrong with a skinny fit, opt for darker shades to elongate your legs. Faux Leather Knee Patch Trousers, $29.99 CAD, ZARA.
3. The Dress… You may not be showing as much skin as you would in spring or summer, that’s why the fit and shape of your winter date dress is key. Something figure flattering is best, and if it pairs with tights and boots then bonus style points for you. Sparkling Ruched Dress, $33.90 CAD, Forever 21.
4. The Coat… A chic outwear piece is so major, it will be the first thing your date sees you in as you enter the restaurant, and we all know how important first impressions are. I personally own this camel beauty, which always garners attention and is the perfect alternative to black. New York Camel Coat, $99.95, Shop Maccs.
