When it comes to date night, getting dressed up is half the fun. But if you find yourself staring at your closet and feeling like you’ve got nothing to wear (because when are we not?), we’ve got a handy little tip for you: start your look with a gorgeous pair of shoes. Whether it’s a killer pair of heels or some chic sneakers, they’re the perfect inspo for whatever you have planned—whether it’s meeting up for a casual coffee or stepping out for a romantic night with your boo. So, to help get you out the door and on to your dream date on time, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite styles from Sam Edelman and some majorly hot looks to wear with them. Don’t worry, you can thank us later.
FOR WALKING AROUND TOWN
Whether you plan on shaking things up with a trip to a hot new exhibition or prefer to take a casual stroll in the park, cute walking shoes are a must. Go with a classic pair of white kicks that are equal parts chic and comfy. These woven leather beauties look just as gorgeous with a dress as they do with your favorite pair of jeans.
FOR GRABBING SOME LUNCH
Meeting your date for a quick lunch or an impromptu coffee calls for a look that’s effortlessly stylish. A pair of chic slides is the perfect option to walk the line between keeping things casual and looking like you put in the effort. These on-trend sandals are the easy solution to turning a minimalist ensemble into a statement.
FOR MEETING THE FRIENDS
When you’re meeting the friends for the first time or out on a big group date, you always want to make a good impression. Put your best foot forward with a pair of platforms that feel elevated, yet approachable. Wear these cute wood-sole platforms whenever you’re playing plus one at party or meeting their friend fam out and about.
FOR LATE-NIGHT DRINKS
If your date night calls for dinner and drinks, why not turn to a pair of strappy sandals? Not only are these metallic stunners totally on-trend, but their block heel is a trusty and comfy option for dancing late into the night. Just toss on a fun little ensemble, and you’re ready to kick up your heels.
