Yes, New York Fashion Week produces a lot of highly styled fashion that could easily be filed in the “man-repellent” category. But we spotted at least nine dateworthy outfits straight from the spring 2010 Fashion Week runways that you’ll love and (bonus!) will have him drooling the second you walk through the door.
The Sexy Way to Wear Shorts
You don’t have to wear Daisy Dukes to earn a longing glance from the men’s department. Pair a sparkly top with cuffed dress shorts like we saw at DKNY—wear the blazer if the restaurant’s chilly or throw it over your shoulders for a romantic nighttime stroll.
A Sweet Take on Harem Pants
If harem pants fit into that trend-you-couldn’t-pay-me-to-try category, it might be time to think again. The flowly silhouette is flattering to every shape, and when worn with a sexy bustier as seen at Rebecca Taylor, well, what man can take issue with it?
The Guy-Approved T-Shirt Dress
Newsflash: Guys love a girl who is comfortable in her own skin, so it stands to reason they’ll be drawn to someone who is comfortable in her own clothes, too. Spend your next date in your favorite T-shirt—T-shirt dress, that is. The draping shape of this BCBG dress keeps you couch-comfortable yet fashionable. No doubt he’ll appreciate your low-maintenance look.
Subtle Sparkles That Won’t Blind Him
Ever girly girl loves a sequin or two, but this is a date, not a Vegas revue. Get your sparkle fix with a sequined mini like we saw at Adam, but dress it down with a casual tee and utility-style jacket. Chances are he’ll love the subtle flash of light—and your legs!
Take Him to Romantic Lengths
Minis aren’t the only skirt that’s flirty. Lately, floor-length numbers are taking back the stage. Opt for a long, romantic skirt and shoulder-baring tank like at Behnaz Sarafpour. After all, like Grannie told us, elegance always attracts a man.
Look Preppy and Sexy!
A classic striped sweater isn’t just for Saturdays anymore. Trade your jeans and sneaks for round-toe pumps and a leggy skirt like the models at Karen Walker for a grown-up, guy-approved take on the prep-school trend. Just choose
one bag to bring with you.
The Perfect Weekday-Date Outfit
Multitasking just got easier thanks to this versatile menswear look from Rachel Roy. Add a camisole and blazer to a sheer-ish button-down for the office, and for an after-work cocktail date, well, remove both! Voila—sexy and professional! (Here’s hoping your date is the same.)
The Little Yellow Dress
LBDs are always going to be a dating staple, but that doesn’t mean the rest of the rainbow should be banished to the for-weddings-or-Halloween-only section of your closet. A feminine and flirty dress like the one we saw at Luca Luca is date-perfect in yellow, a color to watch for spring.
Football-Inspired Fashion—Um, Hello!
There’s hardly a need to explain this one: pretty girl in uniform. Most red-blooded dudes we know can’t say no to that. And thanks to Alexander Wang, every guy’s ultimate fantasy just became fashion’s next big thing.
