For a more casual date after office hours, you can pare back the look with a classic blouse and skirt combo for work. Don’t be afraid to match pink with pink for a one-tone outfit. Victoria elevates the look by breaking the monotone with stripes on top as well as opting for a longer, more flowy skirt that grazes just above the ankles. Roll up ’em sleeves on a busy day, it’s the perfect outfit for women on-the-go.

Sometimes the best approach is the simplest one. Take inspiration from Rachel McAdams and show up for your date looking as elegant as ever in a nude pink strapless maxi.
