Date Night Dresses

About

Two kinds of date nights, one collection. If you're going somewhere with candles and cocktails, scroll toward the satin slips and backless minis. If it's more wine bar and wandering, the floral midis and tie-strap styles have you covered. Either way, most of these are $32–$51 and lightweight enough to not overthink.

They pair with heels and a bag and you're done. For something in between, there are floral styles with sweetheart necklines and ruffle straps that feel romantic without being too casual.

The cotton and cotton-linen pieces have more body and structure but crease more easily. On length: about half this collection is mini (mid-thigh) and half is midi (below the knee). If you have a strong preference, use the length filter up top to narrow it down. There are a couple of maxi-length options too if you want full coverage for an outdoor dinner. The satin pieces here tend to run true to size but have less forgivene
