1. Cool Cocktails

Cool Cocktails Price: $38.00 at shop.nordstrom.com
Who said that cocktail dresses or similar outfits have to be fancy? On the contrary, try taking your favorite little black dress and giving it a cool little twist. Throw a fancy button up over it, or dress it up with a cute little cardigan like the one here. Sometimes the way you accessorize make all the difference, and something as simple as this can take an LBD from cocktail chic to trendy cool in seconds.

Accessorizing is truly the game-changer—think bold, statement jewelry that captures attention or a pair of sleek, stiletto heels for an added height and elegance. To intensify the outfit, a pop of color with a clutch or a belt can harmonize with your little black dress, making it stand out. If the weather is cool, a leather jacket draped over the shoulders can be both chic and edgy, creating a look that's just right for a night out with someone special. Remember, the secret is in the balance of comfort and style—so keep it effortless and let your personality shine through.

2. The French Connection

The French Connection Price: $47.90 at shop.nordstrom.com
If you want to look really cute but not too dressy, then a really stellar look for date nights involves going a little continental. Try some tights, a cute little skirt, a simple top – and a beret. This gives any outfit a bit of magnifique flair, plus it really is just too cool for school. Give it an insolent little twist for an extra touch of attitude!

Mix and match is the secret to nailing this effortlessly chic ensemble. Pair a striped Breton top with your skirt for a classic French vibe, or perhaps choose a lightweight, solid-colored blouse for a more understated elegance. Accessorize with confidence – a long necklace or a slim scarf can add a je ne sais quoi to your look. And don't forget the footwear; ballet flats or ankle boots complete the Parisian charm. Just remember, it's all about looking sophisticated without trying too hard. Embrace your inner French girl, and watch the compliments roll in!

4. Compare and Contrast

Compare and Contrast Price: $19.80 at forever21.com
Many stellar looks for date nights actually involve something as simple as contrasting colors and textures. Lace and leather, black with bright bold colors, feminine scarves and killer high heels – this look unequivocally proves that opposites really do attract. Plus, there are so many ways you can do this look, it's easy to adapt it to your personal style.

5. Retro Romance

Again, the key is adapting the look to fit your own personal fashion sense, so anything you choose will be a home run out the gate.

6. Casual Chic

Casual Chic Price: $29.80 at forever21.com
Sometimes, though, you just don't want to try too hard. You want to make sure you're comfortable, but still look good. I have one word for you to this end: jeans. Stellar looks for date nights don't need to be all fancy shmancy. On the contrary, you can totally go out in your favorite pair of jeans, and dress it up with your top and the shoes you choose.

7. Floaty and Feminine

Price: $37.99 at shopruche.com
For a really incredible, feminine, romantic date night look, though, you can go old school in a lovely dress. Flowing, floaty, swinging dresses are gorgeous, especially with spring finally coming on. Floral prints are lovely in this regard, but it's really up to what you prefer.

Of all the stellar looks for date nights I found, one thing stands out – you have to be comfortable. You can be completely comfortable and still look fantastic. Just remember not to try and be someone you're not. What are your favorite outfits to wear out on dates?
