With the month of love around the corner I’m sure dates and date nights have started creeping up on all of our minds. This post is all about showing off some pretty stunning formal date night dresses in case you want to show up and show out on your fancy date night!
(Personally, I’m the type of person that enjoys planning and executing a good date night but being surprised with a good date is pretty fun too!). I mean who doesn’t enjoy a good date night? It doesn’t matter if it is a first date or one of many, there is a thrill that comes with going out with someone that you really like.
Dates obviously come in so many different forms and most of the time it really shouldn’t matter what you’re doing as long as you’re having fun with your partner. But that said though there is something really special about a formal date night. They take a little bit more effort to plan out and the process of preparing for them is a little bit more involving. But weirdly that’s what makes them more enjoyable. From what makeup you put on, to what outfit you wear. Formal date nights definitely require that little bit of extra effort but they are so worth it.
You might be wondering what exactly constitutes a formal date night? I’m sure we all have an image in mind when we picture a fancy night out… Most of us obviously picture something that involves a date around activities that we would consider formal. Like going to a fancy restaurant, or a ball, a luxury boat ride or maybe even visiting an upscale art gallery, that sort of thing…
There are definitely plenty of opportunities to dress up and go out with your partner. And if you think about it a formal date night is the perfect excuse to get yourself a fancy new dress!

A show stopping dress that is sure to turn heads. This navy blue body-hugging dress with the ruffle hem is a little bit different from all the other dresses in this post.

This floor length black velvety cut out dress is everything you would want in a dress. It’s got a bit of coverage at the top with the turtleneck neckline, if you like a bit of coverage up-top and then a sexy little peak of skin with the waist with the cute out. And that’s not even getting started on the thigh high split.
