What’s more romantic than the sizzling heat of New York in July? A lot of things are more romantic, but for diehard New Yorkers who understand the essence of Aperol-Spritz’s on rooftops and carriage rides through Central Park under the stars, it’s time to celebrate love in the summer. And what’s a better way to celebrate summer love than by reviewing the best date night looks from the spring 2024 season?
Sorry gentleman, this one’s for the ladies. With the heat wafting from sidewalks and the hot smell of trash on the street, it becomes even more imperative to create the perfect date night outfit. Below are some of our editor-approved options from this spring/summer 2024.

After Zendaya’s “Challenger’s” movie dropped, it seems that all the internet can talk about is the ‘old money’ look for ‘tennis-core.’ Due to this, many influencers and fashionistas alike have been embracing this look and heading out on tennis dates with their significant others. Sounds like you? Consider this elegant and chic drop-waist tennis dress from Tory Burch.

Every fashion girl loves a good avant-garde dress and what’s better than this swirling, pink, and green dream from PH5? The dress is made from a lightweight knit material that makes it ideal for warm weather and the pastel colors can easily be paired with many other hues even when heading into the fall season.
Picnic Date – Anna Sui Purple Gingham Dress $590
A picnic in any park is a must-have summer date. It’s the perfect midday treat for individuals with busy schedules or an option for a lazy Sunday afternoon.

Mix that in with the purple hue and lace details on this dress and you end up being left with something so feminine and fun.
Beach Date – Farm Rio Rio de Janeiro Dress $198
A beach date is a summer classic for a reason, from the crashing waves to the salty air, it’s romantic, Summer-y, and just so sweet. Those words are an appropriate way to explain this stunning dress from Farm Rio. The feminine silhouette is so romantic, the colors are perfect for summer and the influence of Brazil with postage stamps is sugary-sweet.
Meeting the Parents – J.Crew Sophia Sleeveless Dress $248
This might not be considered a date, but rather the ultimate reason for extreme anxiety. Either way, if you’re struggling with what to wear when meeting your beau’s parents, consider this stunning tweed dress from J.Crew. It falls under the more affordable category of spring fashion and certainly wasn’t a runway find … but it is runway quality and so chic!
