Sexy date outfit

86 replies

Eesha · 20/01/2022 14:33

I'm looking for ideas for a sexy outfit for a date with my partner. He absolutely goes mad for heels and a woman dressed up to the nines. I've tended to dress well, more feminine ditsy rather than sexy but with ankle boots for comfort. I would like to surprise him with something different and sexy. I'm a curvy hourglass size 14/16.

Any ideas would be great, here's an item I thought might work with a softer top and heels. I haven't worn heels in ages either.

I agree with the previous posts that I wouldn't wear that to a restaurant (but Christ some of you are unnecessarily mean...)

What about an outfit more like this with killer heels? Suitable for public consumption and winter too!

@MrsBerthaRochester

I was expecting something up to the crotch going by the nasty replies. There is nothing wrong with that skirt! yes its overtly sexy but thats what op is looking for. I think it would look good with a blouse or wrap top op. Ignore the snide comments. You have to remember frumpy Boden is beloved on here(shudder)
I have to say, have you seen the back split? That's worse than any micro mini.

Is this thread for real?

Iamthewombat · 20/01/2022 17:58

I don’t mind the skirt. It’s saucy but could look good with the right top. I don’t think the pussy bow blouse suggested upthread ticks the ‘sexy date outfit’ box.

Eesha · 20/01/2022 18:00

Well truthfully I was thinking I would buy larger so it would sit much lower and less revealing, plus a longer top. I didn't expect people to be so vicious here

Hi OP, I couldn't wear that in public and feel comfortable although I have a few outfits like that for home only!

I agree that a pencil skirt, either leather or well fitted with a top would look good. I have a few mesh tops I wear with skirts or dresses. SheIn has loads of them and I def feel sexy in them.

I also often go to Quiz when I'm looking for a dress that is sexy and classy.

Movinghouseatlast · 20/01/2022 18:06

I don't think that is meant to be worn out! You could get a normal tight leather skirt though and wear it with silk blouse and heels.

You said he likes 'dressed up to the nines' so I think that sounds more like he likes glamorous outfits.

Sleephead1 · 20/01/2022 18:08

I think it’s fine if you are comfortable. Im not sure why everyone is saying it’s so awful. You could order it and try it on ? I don’t think a longer top would work though I think it would need to be tucked in or a bodysuit ? Remember op everyone has different tastes/ opinions on what looks good ect. Enjoy your date

toastfiend · 20/01/2022 18:11

The skirt you posted isn't to my taste, tbh. Ultimately, LoveHoney is bedroom wear and, whilst I like my DH to think I look attractive/sexy, I wouldn't necessarily want to advertise my plans for the evening to the whole restaurant. I'm all for women dressing how they want but I have to admit that, whilst I'd never say anything, I probably would do a double take if I saw someone out at a restaurant or the cinema in that skirt.

I think sexiness can actually be more effective when it's less overt. I think you can find similar that's more flattering and perhaps a bit classier/more appropriate for public consumption. Some of the links posted by PPs are nice.

I like this Never Fully Dressed one - www.neverfullydressed.co.uk/products/vegan-leather-jaspre (apologies, never worked out how to do links properly on here!)

This one looks OK (perhaps a bit office wear-y but depends what you wear it with) and is real leather - www.next.co.uk/style/st996641/T45217#T45217

It is not.

ElectraBlue · 20/01/2022 18:27

I am sorry but the skirt you suggest is just so tacky...

It is more vulgar than actually sexy and frankly it won't flatter most figures.

Just put on a lovely dress and some heels.

Fairylightsongs · 20/01/2022 19:19

I’m not sure buying it bigger would make it sit so low the spit wouldn’t be up your arse. Unless your considering buying a size twenty and wearing it on your hips. Which would not look good at all. And a long top would just hide the corset. It would all look a bit silly.

Love honey is basically bedroom or fetish clothes, I know they call it sexy clubbing wear but really that’s not what it’s for.

The next skirt linked above would have the same look without the tacky element to it. And you’d not risk mooning the room every time you stood up becayse it had ruched up. 😃

IdontPracticeSanteria · 20/01/2022 21:13

You couldn't wear that out in public, surely? You'd be a laughing stock.

Gardeningdream · 20/01/2022 21:27

Op, does your bloke have a fetish? Did he suggest it really and you were just testing to see what others would think? I can’t perceive many women, and certainly not approaching middle aged mothers who would want to buy what is tacky revealing fetish gear and go out and about in public in it.

Keep it in the bedroom with your dignity. Others don’t need to see you like that, 💐

CamsPaisleyCuffs · 20/01/2022 21:32

How about something like this if you still want to go for the leather skirt. Or just wear your normal dress and text him you've got no knickers on whilst he's at the bar getting the drinks in 🤷‍♀️

@CamsPaisleyCuffs this looks ideal actually. I wanted something less boho than my usual style and this works. Thank you

Can't believe the vitriol here at the skirt suggestion.

OP posts:
BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 20/01/2022 21:40

Because its a skirt designed for the bedroom. That's why. You've suggested it as something to wear on a date.

You wear that on a date and people will think he is paying you.

Fairylightsongs · 20/01/2022 22:14

Op it’s not vitriol or viciousness, posters are just a bit stunned. Love honey is not known as the place to shop for fashion gear for nights out. That’s next, whistles, river island, Lk bennet, coast, oasis, H&M etc,

Love honey is sex stuff for the bedroom.

But anyone can wear what they want, at any age, and as long as they are confortable and happy, that’s all that matters, but if you go out wearing sex gear you need to ensure you’re safe. Becayse there is nasty bastards out there who will comment unpleasantly and think you’re something you are maybe not. Most will just think it, others will say it.

TedMullins · 21/01/2022 01:40

Bloody hell some people have led sheltered lives! I don’t personally like the skirt but it’s hardly worthy of doing a double take if you saw someone wearing it in public. It’s not like it has a transparent panel over the crotch! I’ve seen much worse on nights out, I don’t think it would look out of place in a bar or club. Having said that I probably wouldn’t peg it (no pun intended) as fancy restaurant wear

immersivereader · 21/01/2022 01:49

Sorry, that skirt just says bend over and take me.

^

I think that's the idea? Go for it op

Bellyups · 21/01/2022 03:08

The skirt is not flattering and doesn’t do anything for the model. It’s not something you’d wear to a restaurant or what have you. Love honey id bedroom wear

Forgotthespuds · 21/01/2022 04:19

I actually like that skirt & would definitely wear it out on a date.

Ameanstreakamilewide · 21/01/2022 07:47

I think LoveHoney use the phrase 'clubwear' as a euphemism for bedroom wear.

And I think the comments here have demonstrated that, to be quite honest.
It's a little too risqué for evening out to a restaurant.

I'm not of the opinion that someone can wear whatever they want, as long as they feel good, etc. It's plainly not true.

lynntheyresexswappers · 21/01/2022 07:54

It's ultimately up to you op, but that isn't meant to be worn outside. It will look awful. People are trying to save you embarrassment. Just get a normal leather pencil skirt that won't show your whole arse.

PurpleDaisies · 21/01/2022 08:00

That particular skirt is just too much to wear out.
