Date nights are important in a relationship. It is valuable time spent together enhances the bond and sparks between you and your partner.

Everyone looks forward to dressing up for a date night. Going out on a date can be exciting yet a very tense affair. A great dress is a date-night classic. On one hand you want to pick out an outfit that you feel most confident, sexy and comfortable, but on the other hand, you also want to leave a lasting good impression.

When preparing for a date, on most occasions, you want to dress your personality which then sets the date. You want to feel, look good with the most fashionable pieces in your wardrobe after all, we all dress to impress.

On my recent date night with The Captain (Vinie) at Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi Upper Hill, I went for a mini pink blazer dress, pink being my favorite color that absolutely brings out the best in me.

The dress embodied an element of class and sophistication thereby injecting some attitude into my outfit. A great tip here for the ladies is that choosing a one piece makes it easy to layer your outfit. I absolutely felt glam wearing this dress.

When deciding on what shoes to wear on a date, always go for something comfortable and durable.

For this date, I wore a pair of nude stilettos to match my whole look and it turned out amazing. Nude heels is a must have for every woman: first and foremost, they match with absolutely everything and two, they give the illusion of slimmer, longer legs, a fantastic combination to the dress.

These nude heels elevated my look and I felt like a supermodel strutting down the runway.

To complete a date night look, you can never go with accessories. Infact Fashion experts say the right accessories are the punctuation of an outfit. They also make your look more attractive.

Charm your date with eye catching accessories like jewellery, a hat, belt, bag whichever you like best.

I love nude colors so a nude hat was my best pick to accessorize my style. I also wore a watch as a statement piece and not forgetting a pair of good simple earrings, obviously.

Dates are fun and exciting with your partner or friends. It is that one night to simply dress in your finest and look stylish and confident.
