3 Date-Night Dresses From Old Navy

I just moved to a new city, and my list of places to check out is already miles long. My husband and I decided that our weekly date night would be the perfect opportunity to try them all, whether it’s having dinner at a new, hard-to-get-into restaurant, catching a musical uptown, or just wandering through one of the glorious parks in the area. With so many outings on the calendar, I desperately need a few fresh, fun, and flirty outfits. So, I tapped French content creator Leslie Sidora for some inspiration. She’s always posting the chicest looks with her husband, so I knew she’d have great ideas for where to shop for date night. And of course, I was right. She’s turning to Old Navy’s Occasion collection for stunning dresses she can wear to all her outings. And yes, everything is already in my cart. Here’s what I’m planning to wear this summer, all inspired by Sidora’s impeccable taste.

Come summer, there’s nothing better than a cute floral dress, and I think Leslie found the perfect one. The mini length! The pockets! The color! “This look is perfect for a Sunday brunch date,” Sidora shares. “I styled my dress with an open-toe heel to keep things playful but put-together. Add in statement earrings and a neutral bag, and you’ve got the perfect mix of fun and elevated.” I may or may not be thinking about how cute it’d look with a bouquet of flowers on my social media page. What can I say? It’s a social media–worthy ‘fit.

“I love taking something that feels a bit dressier and making it more casual,” Sidora tells me. “I styled this silky green dress with layered necklaces and chic flats so it still looked polished, but not like I was trying too hard.” That’s the magic of Old Navy’s Occasion collection—every piece can easily be dressed up or down depending on your vibe. “I’d even throw on a cardigan for those chillier nights,” she adds. As for me? I’m already picturing this for my anniversary trip—post-beach day, with slicked-back, salty hair and easy summer sandals, ready to sip margaritas al fresco. Thank you very much.

One thing about me? I love a matching set. It takes all the guesswork out of getting dressed, but still makes it look like you put some effort in. Plus, you can style the separate pieces in totally different ways. Clearly, Sidora and I were on the same wavelength. “I can see myself re-wearing the polka dot co-ord over and over again this summer,” she tells me. “I’d pair the skirt with a white top or the top with a pair of jeans. It’s all about versatility and making each piece work for different settings.” With this, I’ll be ready for anything from a breezy lunch date on a rooftop to a dressy dinner and a show.
