Maybe it’s your first date with a guy off Hinge or your weekly date night with bae. Regardless, looking cute for date night is essential.
I’ve always felt date night was a night where you can dress up your cutest and remind your man of how sexy you are. If this is a first date it’s even more important to look your best.

Hair inspiration
First up: hair. I honestly think hair is the most important. A disheveled hairstyle can make even the best of outfits look average. Hair is one of the first things a man notices about a woman, so definitely you want yours to be on point. If you’re not the best at make-up, or don’t like to get super glammed up clean polished hair instantly glamorizes any look.
Aliyah’s Picks:
- Aussie Moist 3 Minute Deep Conditioner: this is my go-to deep conditioner! I faithfully use it weekly, and swear by it!
- Bronner Bros Styling Spray: for a slick ponytail – has great hold and leaves hair shiny and polished
- Satin Hair Ties: no frizz or prevents breakage – my pineapple go to
Makeup looks
Personally I like to keep my makeup as simple as possible. I think a natural look is more elegant and emphasis natural beauty. However depending on the occasion of the date night I do enjoy a more glam look from time to time.
A full foundation look may or may not be necessary, but imo these items are always needed..
Aliyah’s Picks:
- Blush: if you aren’t currently wearing blush you should be – a pop of color on the cheeks gives a feminine glow
- Mascara: I love this one by L’oreal! It’s a affordable dupe to the more expensive highly rated Better Than Sex
- Lipstick: I love a natural pink or a faded red! Anything that looks as if it could be my lip color with long wear. Try to find a color that compliments your skin tone. Also I would pair this with a slightly darker lip pencil.
Nails
Soft feminine hands are attractive and noticeable. Seasonal colors or nudes are a must when choosing a nail color. Men often notice a woman’s hands
Aliyah’s Picks:
- Essie Nail Polish: long lasting and chip resistant nail polish brand
- Press on Nails: These designs are super cute – you’ll look like you’re fresh out the nail salon
Accessories
Gold compliments tan and brown skin so well! I highly suggest investing in some quality gold pieces that will last you a lifetime.
Dainty jewelry is extremely feminine and compliments any outfit so well. A outfit that is rather basic can easily be elevated by a few small rings or chunky earrings.
Aliyah’s Picks:
- Gold Dome Hoops: These earrings are so chic and classic! I actually have some earrings from this brand, so I know the quality is great. They are real gold and Italian made.
- Dainty Gold Necklace: This simple chain necklace is the foundation to any layered necklace look.
Outfit Ideas
The first thing a man will notice on a date, especially a first date, is your outfit. You always want to dress for the occasion. Personally I don’t believe in being over dressed though so do.
Most importantly wear something that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable.
