I know we just started skimming the surface on fall fashion here on the blog but I still want to pay homage to the rest of summer. I absolutely love the sunshine and endless warm weather so although I look forward to fall, part of me will be sad to say goodbye to the dog days of summer. As we enter the middle of August, there is still plenty of time to take the season by the reigns. Let’s all promise each other to make the next few weeks count, right? Besides, the warm weather still lasts well into September too. Part of living your best end of summer life is by being adventurous and getting out there more! Whether you are in a relationship, single, or could not care less, we all deserve to go on date nights with either our S.O. or our best girl friends. To celebrate these special moments, here are summer date night looks for just about every type of occasion.
Summer Date Night Looks for Every Type of Occasion

Casual: Cutout Top + Denim + Heels
More casual outings call for relaxed summer date night looks. When I want my outfit to come off easy-going with just the right amount of effort, I can always rely on a pair of jeans. In the last blog post, I talked about just how much I adore these denim bottoms from ASOS that cater toward tall girls. With the simple addition of a subtle, yet sultry top, you already have the basis for a killer look. I took it one step further and opted for a pair of heels, just to give the overall outfit a little enhancement.

Relaxed and Feminine: Midi Dress
When it comes to more casual events where you want an outfit that is more feminine in taste, I highly suggest a midi dress. These days, I really find myself drawn to this more polished length as a mini dress can sometimes be too mini and a maxi dress could come off as too formal (depending on the style). A midi is a happy in-between and a perfect choice for summer date night looks. After all, summer is the time to really let your flowy one-pieces shine. Although you can wear your dresses transitionally into fall by adding a light jacket and a pair of boots, soon enough it will be winter and you’ll be longing for the summer weather once again! Take advantage of the time now and shop some midi dresses below.

Dinner For Two: LBD + Platform Heels
Lastly, when it comes to special nights out, there is no better time than now to rely on your classic LBD. Chances are, you probably own one or two of these within your collection. However, I will forever believe in the power of a good LBD and will always recommend that you invest in a few so you have a few options on-hand for any event. The little black dress is far from yawn-inducing too. As long as you shop options with unique detailing and stand-out qualities, I promise you will never call a black dress boring ever again. Look for black dresses with textured fabric or LBD’s with a halter-neck, minis with dramatic gloves, or one-pieces with feather-lined detailing.
