1
A blouse and an A-line skirt
Download Article
Show off this classic ensemble if you’ve got romance in mind. Wear a dressier top that really pops, like one that’s silk, floral, or ruffled. Go more low-key with your skirt and go for one tone like black, white, or navy blue. Skip the jewelry and focus on an earthy smoky eye and matte lips. Then, slide on some peep toe heels.[1]
- If you have an A-line skirt with a high waist, tie a knot in a button-down shirt and show just a little skin.
- Studded ankle strap heels add a little bit of an edge if you want to go more punk.
- For flashier A-line skirts in floral or animal prints, wear a white or black blouse.

A sweater and a pencil skirt

This cozy set is great for a special, intimate evening. Grab a fitted or bodycon sweater, or tuck a looser one into your skirt. Accentuate your figure with any belt in a neutral color that cinches at the waist. Sling a small purse over your shoulder and try on sleek and shiny heels for a finishing touch.[2]
- A cropped sweater and a knitted pencil skirt is great for cozying up on the couch.
- Try a mermaid pencil skirt and a bow blouse for an evening dinner date.
- If you two talked about co*cktails and dessert, a leather pencil skirt will add to the flirty mood.

If the atmosphere is sophisticated, walk in with this chic outfit. Wear a fitted jacket in a complementary color, such as a beige blazer with a turquoise dress. Add a statement necklace, like a layered chain or a geometrical design. Finally, throw on some pumps or slingbacks.[3]
- To tone things down and go more casual, accessorize with a denim jacket.
- If you want to go more conservative, try a less fitted dress in the “sheath” style.

A blazer and a camisole
Download Article
Look sleek for an upscale dinner he’s put together. Balance out the ultra seductive top with some simple jeans, like a straight cut or skinny style. Since a cami with a lacy neckline is so eye-catching, stick to just one bracelet if you want any jewelry. For a cowl neck top, wear a delicate drop necklace. Add a blazer in any contrasting color, then choose either neutral or statement heels.[5]
- If you want to be a little cheeky, pair jeans and any blazer with a cami in an animal print.

A floral top and jeans or a skirt
