Such a lovely edit!!! Always honored to be included. <3 Also, love that you went to an Usher concert for your anniversary. You've inspired me to make it to one so I can sing and dance my heart out!!

I definitely sang and danced my heart out, lol. Thanks for reading, Natalia! Your brown button-up look is one of my favourites. x

how did I miss this?! I just thrifted a wool blazer and I cannot wait to wear it for a date night. I'm going to come back to this for some inspo. I love how Emily styled it so much, very into the asymmetrical blazer look. If you try WNU, please keep us posted! I've been so curious about the brand.

Oohh I can’t wait to see you style your wool blazer! I really want to try one of WNU’s shirts but the shipping and duties are holding me back right now. 😬 Thank you for reading! x

That's how I feel about shipping them to France! I really want to visit London just so I can try them on.

Love all the inspiration images, every single one is that effortless chic with a nod to something fancy! Taking notes as always! x

Maria Hyde's avatar

Aw thank you, Anika!! Putting this together was helpful for me, and I’m glad you thought so, too! x

Lovely edit as usual, I own a couple of WNU shirts and they are the best I've ever had. Especially because they need little to no ironing

Maria Hyde's avatar

No ironing?! What a game-changer!! I've been admiring the WNU shirts for a while and really want to pull the trigger, but the shipping and duties to Canada are what's holding me back right now. Thanks for reading, Giulia! x

All of these looks are v intriguing for a casual date night - stylish, bra-friendly, and easy to style with what's already in your closet. Thanks for the inspo :)

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks, Tina! This means so much. Bra-friendly and easy to style are definitely key for me! x

I have two of the same screenshots living on my phone (the JLaw look and the WNU brown shirt) - I loved seeing what you did with them!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Love finding out you have the same screenshots! Thanks so much for reading, Libby! x

MARIA MARIA! So many incredible styling ideas here. Gah! Adore them all but the Canadian tux has my heart! Xoxo

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks, Sogole!! A Canadian tux for date night is one of my favourites, too! x

Maria, I adored this post and all of your inspiration. I also appreciate that you (and your hubs) think that a turtleneck can be sexy because I do agree 😂 love your anniversary look SO much!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Ok, I’m so glad you agree on the black turtleneck because I wasn’t sure if others would see it that way, lol. Thanks for reading Lindsay!! x

A black turtleneck is so underrated!!! The red sweater off your shoulder is so stunning! Loved this one, Maria!!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks so much, Traci!! You’re so right about black turtlenecks being underrated! x

Ritika's avatar

Loved this! I'm with you on all of the above :)

That pic of Jennifer Lawrence in the red sweater lives rent free in my brain; a perfect date night look with the diamond necklace. Your ideas are BRILLIANT; I love the double denim look!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thank you, Kelly!! It’s such an old reference, but it’s still one of my favourites! x

Maria!!! This post was not only a visual treat, but also SUPER helpful and inspiring. Date night dressing is not my specialty, so this was great. These are all things I can implement for sure! Thanks for including me- I’m pinching myself to be in such good company!

P.S. that brown silk Comme Si shirt on Natalia is SO GOOD.

Maria Hyde's avatar

I wasn't exaggerating when I said I LOVED your Paris looks! And your post yesterday with more blazer outfits! Re: Natalia's shirt - I know it's perfect! I really have so many button-ups on my shopping list, I have to prioritize, lol. x

Jennifer Klee's avatar

Loveeeee these ideas. AND I love your original MO of overdressing and adding a blazer!

Maria Hyde's avatar

Thanks, Jen!! I love using date night as an excuse to get dressed up! x
