9 Date Outfit Ideas, Straight From the Runway

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.

11 Things Guys Don’t Understand About Women

Men always say they don’t “get” the female sex, but what specifically—besides our going to the restroom in groups—don’t they comprehend? We found out.

“Girls and drama! My God, it’s like an episode of Dawson’s Creek! He said, she said…it goes on and on for years. Do you ever get over an argument?” —James, 28

“I am confused enough about why the onslaught of hormones every month, like clockwork, still takes me by surprise (the next day when she gets her period, I’m like, Oh! We got into a fight because she was hormonal!), but why does that fact take her by surprise? Shouldn’t she kind of realize it and be like, ‘Don’t listen to me—I’m hormonal’?” —Married Jake

“I don’t get why getting married so soon is so important to most women. Is love not enough?” —Brian, 24

“What I don’t understand is why girls really, really, really want that nice guy, but once they find one, they can’t date him because now they need a jerk.” —Rob, 26

“Why do girls not like other girls when they first meet them? It’s as if they have to prove themselves to each other before they’ll consider them acceptable to hang out with.” —Aaron, 25

“I don’t understand why women can’t just speak more directly. They always want you to do something, but they don’t put it in words. Instead, they talk around the issue. I wish they were more up front and just said it!” —Justin, 26
