What to wear on a winter date

How dressy should a winter date outfit be?

Dress for the place, then go one step further. For coffee or a walk: a good knit, dark jeans and boots. For dinner, swap the jeans for trousers or a skirt, or the knit for a silky top or a shirt. For drinks or a show, add one piece with shine or texture: velvet, satin, leather. A date isn't the time to try a new silhouette; wear the cut you know suits you, in a better fabric.

How do I stay warm without hiding the outfit?

Let the coat be part of the look. A long wool coat in camel, black or chocolate looks dressier than a puffer and keeps you warm on the walk between places. Thin warm layers go underneath: a thermal under a silky top, fleece-lined tights under a dress. Bring a scarf you can leave on the chair rather than a bulky jumper you'll have to keep on.

What should women wear on a winter date?

A knit or long-sleeve dress with tights and knee boots; a satin or silk top with tailored trousers and heeled ankle boots; or a leather or suede skirt with a fine roll neck. Small gold jewellery and a structured bag finish any of them.

Coffee date or dinner date: what's the difference?

A coffee date is in daylight, so keep it relaxed: a knit, jeans and clean boots or leather trainers. A dinner date is in the evening, so darker colours, smoother fabrics and dressier shoes, like heeled boots, loafers or polished Chelsea boots.

What should I wear on a first date in winter?

Something you've worn before and feel good in, so you're not adjusting it all night. A first date is often a drink or dinner somewhere warm after a cold walk: a coat you're happy to be seen taking off, a top that looks good sitting down, and shoes you can walk ten minutes in.

Questions people ask

Can I wear jeans on a winter date?

Yes. Dark, well-fitting jeans with a fine knit or a silky top, a wool coat and leather boots look dressed up enough for most dinners. Save light-wash and ripped denim for daytime.

What colours look best on a winter date night?

Black, chocolate, burgundy, deep green and camel look rich in evening light. One colour head to toe, or two close shades, looks more considered than several bright ones.

What shoes should I wear on a winter date?

Heeled ankle boots or knee boots with a block heel: dressy, warm and steady on wet streets. Loafers or ballet flats work when it's dry and you'll be walking.

Can I wear trainers on a date?

For a casual daytime date, clean leather trainers are fine. For dinner or drinks, boots or loafers show you made an effort.
