"Match your partner's level of formality. Yes, even if it contradicts the advice below. If your wife wants to get fancy as fuck to order beer-and-a-shot specials at a dive bar, you better dress to the nines right with her. If your boyfriend wants to test the limits of the restaurant's dress code in a sweatsuit, don't reach for a suit suit and try to outshine him."
"So you're taking the love of your life out for a big night, splurging on a big-ticket meal and reveling in the romance until the wee hours of the morning. Maybe you're meeting up with your partner for a few quiet drinks at the local watering hole because it's been that kind of week. Perhaps it's a cocktail with someone you met on the apps. Whatever the particulars, it's date night. Which means you need to get dressed."
Date-night dressing requires matching the outfit's formality to the partner's level and the venue. Outfits should range appropriately from relaxed cardigans for post-work drinks to fully dressed ensembles for high-end dinners or theater nights. Prioritize dressing as a team to avoid outshining or underdressing relative to each other. Aligning the vibe of the outfit with the occasion helps shift focus from routine toward shared enjoyment. Selecting garments that feel polished yet comfortable enables effortless confidence. Minor style adjustments can transition between casual bars and more formal venues while maintaining cohesion with the partner's chosen level of dress.
