Fall In Love… With These Pretty Daytime Date Dresses

I love a chic date night silhouette as much as the next person, but right now, these daytime date dresses have all of my attention. Worth turning your dinner plans into lunch ones and sure to make you feel your most stylish self, you’re going to want to own every dress on this list. With spring/summer weather in mind and more opportunities for daylight plans, I’ve put together a must have edit of stunning designer silhouettes. So, will you choose a pretty pastel mini dress from Love Shack Fancy or For Love & Lemons. Or, will it be a floral midi from Farm Rio or Dianne Von Furstenberg? Either way, you’re about to fall head over heels!

Chic Floral Midi Silhouettes Make Perfect Daytime Date Dresses

If you’re looking for daytime date dresses you can wear for any plans, I have you covered. These floral midis are chic, eternally flattering, and look great with flats or heels. You’ll also want to wear them on repeat even after your date! For example, the Olea sleeveless ruffle midi dress by Bardot. Firstly, this stunning slip dress is so pretty and utterly timeless. Secondly, the sleek silky fabric, sultry V-neckline, and ruffle detailing make for the ultimate spring/summer look you can throw on and go. Style this dress with modest heels or flat sandals and a bag depending on the dress code for your destination. I highly recommend the and Then, style it with flats for countless weekend plans, vacation days, and even dinner dates with a cute pair of heels.

Meanwhile, you can never go wrong with an off-shoulder silhouette. Especially one as pretty as the Fiorella maxi dress by Misa. Made to flatter your figure and dance in the breeze as you walk, this gorgeous, ankle-length design is one of the season’s prettiest and most versatile. Style it with heels for dressier lunch plans, or keep your look low-key with flats. I’ll be wearing mine with the Izzie knotted leather sandals by Loffler Randall and the mini Greca goddess leather shoulder bag by Versace all season long.
