Dressing for date night becomes inherently easier as the temperature rises—it’s hard to feel super sexy when bundled up out of necessity. That said, your outfit for a romantic dinner or night on the town doesn’t have to be formulaic. Here, five style stars demonstrate new and improved takes on your standard evening attire. Copy these looks ASAP to wow your suitor this spring.

Zendaya

Emily Ratajkowski

Shay Mitchell
Give your hero maxi dress a rest and opt for a slinky jumpsuit instead (which is an equally comfortable option). Bring along a buttery leather jacket for good measure.

Olivia Palermo
A silky bomber jacket and neck scarf (that mimics this season's ubiquitous choker) are an effortless upgrade to your basic tank and jeans combo.
