Tired of wearing the same clothes on a night out? Here are some new ideas to switch things up.
We’ve all been there – it’s Friday night and you’re rummaging through your wardrobe, expecting one of your old tops or dresses to magically transform into something trendy and exciting. Unfortunately, though, we’re not Cinderella and we don’t have a fairy godmother to salvage our evening.
Luckily, we’ve heard your wardrobe woes and rounded up some outfit inspiration from Kildare Village, whether it’s showing how to modernise old favourites or which versatile closet staples to invest in and freshen up your look.
For an exciting evening with someone special, this look says you’re ready for anything – whether it’s a sophisticated dinner, followed by dancing under the stars or exploring a faraway place and trying new things with the one you love.
First, our social media feeds were flooded with the ‘clean girl’ aesthetic, now it’s all about the ‘mob wife’ look. Think bold glam with faux fur, big jewellery and smoky eyes… this aesthetic is the definition of statement dressing on a night out.
As we edge into spring, this look merges trendy metallics with mood-boosting spring shades of baby pinks, greens and light-washed blue. It’s perfect for your next daytime date or laid-back adventure.
Watch our video to see the L’Amour look in action…

Christmas jumpers you’ll want to wear year-round, not just for one night
You want your outfit to feel as laid-back as the date. "Opt for a casual, easy vibe," Priyanka says. "Keeping it low-key is the main focus." As jeans are practically the definition of casual, they're an ideal choice. "Light-wash, high-waist denim with a T-shirt is a great look and also very classic," Priyanka notes.
Choose from cute mini dresses in hot reds, sleek white or go for a classic black date night dress to stun at a candle-lit meal. Meeting your flame at adventure golf or bowling? You can't go wrong with one of our date night tops paired with jeans and some heeled boots.
When in Doubt, Wear Red or Black. According to color psychologists, the best colors to wear on a first date are red & black. Wearing the two romantic colors, especially if you're a woman, can make you appear more attractive and more desirable to your date.
There is something sexy about a red dress that makes it the #1 choice to wear on date night. Regardless of fashion trends, a red dress is always in style. You will always find a dress in this hue at any major retailer, making it a winner every time. A black dress is also a great option.
If you are going to a fancy restaurant, wear a nice dress or a nice pair of pants and some respectable shoes. If you are just going for a walk in the park, wear something nice but casual, such as a top, pants and a belt. Since this is the ultimate non-gendered look, it's a perfect solution for all events really.
A date night is an occasion where a couple dedicates time to be spent together, usually alone, with the purpose of reconnecting and bonding. A date night usually consists of a main activity, such as a dinner and/or a movie, or a few activities planned one after the other.
A midi-length dress and strappy heels are perfect for a dinner date. A strappy floral dress will go well with sandals if you are headed to a park. A casual sport fit is perfect for a sporty activity like bowling. A crop top and a pair of jean pants are perfect for a club date paired with sneakers and a sling bag.
What Is the Ideal Dress Code for a Dinner Date? The best outfit for a dinner date varies based on the restaurant's dress code. For formal outings, women should wear an evening gown or co*cktail dress, though casual chic, check, or leather works for informal dates.
