It’s time to transition to those fall date night outfits. Gone are the days of summer sandals and flip flops. But with the changing colors of the leaves comes the opportunity to switch up your date night wardrobe with a quick trip to Goodwill®. By integrating end-of-summer attire with denim and newly sourced seasonal layers, you’ll be able to put together day-to-night date night looks in a snap.
Regardless of whether you commute or are a remote worker, it can be inconvenient to change for a date at the end of a long work day. For a few years, I had an hour and a half commute home from work, though most of my social life was in neighborhoods right around my office. After living like that for a bit, I began to master the day-to-night look knowing I would likely not be changing my clothes before leaving the office.
The staples below are all you need to look professional during the day while transforming into a fun and chic look after hours.
Find Fall Date Night Outfits at Goodwill
As a bonus, you can find everything you need at your local Goodwill store. I certainly have found some amazing pieces for great prices, and I’m sharing some below! When you shop at Goodwill, you will not only elevate your wardrobe, but you will help members of your community elevate and improve their lives with new employment opportunities and skill trainings as well. It’s a win-win!
- Versatile Blazer
One of my first finds at my go-to Goodwill store was this tweed houndstooth J. Crew blazer with gold detailing. It was priced at $17 and was such a steal compared to the retail price of close to $150.
As a fall date night outfit, a blazer helps keep you warm on chilly nights while still looking polished.
- Dark Denim
This staple is a must-have for your fall date night outfits. When the first chilly morning hits I know I immediately become less inclined to reach for a dress or skirt in the morning. Dark denim can be dressed up or down — with a blazer and heels or casual shirt and sneakers. Plus, you’ll get to stay warm and comfortable in the meantime.
