The Perfect: Summer Date Night

Gather this outfit—and these extras—for an A+ warm weather evening. 

  

The perfect date night has a few commonalities: a great outfit, perfect accessories, and something major to do. (Oh, and someone decent to join you.) From the little details to the bigger, logistical items (train through wine country anyone?), there's a perfect suggestion, below. 

  

1

Dress 

 

•   

Make the most of a night out, sartorially speaking, with a NSFW cut.  

  

  

  

2 

Perfume 

 

•   

The right scent—this one pairs lily of the valley, jasmine, and green notes with wood,  pepper of Akigalawood and patchouli—immediately transforms your mood. Pack a mini version for a mid-date refresh. 

  

  

3 

Heels 

 

•   

Take a barely-there silhouette and add striking details for a sexy touch. 

  

  

4 

Hotel 

 

•   

Abandon the ordinary, a.k.a. your bedroom, for a night somewhere luxe that may or may not involve room service. 

  

  

5 

Bracelet

 

•   

Flip the idea of a ball and chain on its head with a gilded take on the metaphor. 

  

  

6 

Lip Color 

 

•   

For color that's still kissable, try a two-for-one pot (a few swirls work on your cheeks, too) that leaves skin looking moisturized to boot. 

  

  

  

7

Bag

 

•   

 Shrunken down to smaller proportions, a structured bag is ready for after-hours action. 

  

  

  

8 

Train 

 

•   

You could stick to dinner-and-a-movie. Option B: A train ride complete with on-board apps and wine tastings, culminating in dinner at a vineyard. 

  

  

9 

Wine 

 

•   

For date night at home or a glass before heading out, a smooth summer red is a real crowd pleaser.
