Finish with a bit of blush and contour and some beachy waves or effortless curls, so you can spend more time on juicing oranges for mimosas or cooking bacon (‘cuz you have to have bacon at an at-home brunch, naturally!)

Date Night In

Products: Lipstick (in Sake) – Sephora, Eyeliner (in Black) – Sephora, Blouse – Boohoo, Tights – ASOS, Skirt – Nordstrom, Booties – MANGO, Perfume – Nordstrom

Whether it’s your first time inviting your new boo over for dinner, or you’re making a special dinner for your significant other of years, a date night in can be surprisingly challenging to dress for. You want to look cute and sexy, but you also don’t want to look like you’ve tried too hard, and you want to be comfortable in your own home. Plus, you’ll probably be making something a little more complex, so you’ll need a bit of mobility.

Paired with a black top with a choker neckline, a sexy plaid ’90s-vibe miniskirt gets a sophisticated update. Black tights give you a bit of coverage (and help you transition this outfit into fall as temps fluctuate), while a chunky heeled boot gives you a little lift and a sexy silhouette, but is totally optional if you don’t want to wear shoes in your home.

A soft mauve lipstick with staying and staining power, like this one from Bite Beauty, will stay through dinner (and maybe a make-out sesh), while a little winged liner plays up the French-schoolgirl vibe of this look. Finish with a sexy, floral perfume, like this little number from Byredo.
