As the weather gets cooler – we start to retract and reduce the amount of time spent outside. We learn to lean into the couch a little more and take to hibernating the colder months away.
As we hide away, the days might start to feel longer and heavier. We’re here to help you break out of that funk and teach you how to date night during winter in style! Quick side note, when we say date night, we don’t just mean taking your significant other out (and vice versa), think – a night out with the girls, the boys, maybe your mum, best friend or anyone special to you!
We’ve drafted together a list of five unforgettable date night experiences for you and your loved one. With each recommendation comes an outfit idea to make getting ready just that much easier. Sit back, relax and let us do all the styling, researching and refining for you.
Cosy Dinner Date
Gerard’s Bistro – A restaurant offering a modern take on classic middle eastern cuisine, their meals are designed to be shared and cooked in a custom-built wood-fired oven. With a record dedicated to sustainability, Gerard’s Bistro boasts an amazing ambience with a choice of front deck or indoor seating. Look to sprucing up your everyday look for a totally indulgent date night, perhaps a chic turtleneck top with a pair of jeans and your go-to winter boots! Don’t forget a trench to really tie it all in.
Picnic in the Park
Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mt Coot-tha – Offering up to 56-hectare gardens, picnics are allowed anywhere throughout the park – sit back and enjoy an early date night with your loved one. This astonishing park features a children’s playground, a Japanese garden and a Tropical Dome. Travel in comfort knowing there’s a car park available should you need one.
A picnic date means pulling out your cutest outfits! Yes, you can still wear a dress during the winter. Style a cute feel-good midi skirt with sneakers and a cardigan for a winter-approved look! If skirts aren’t your thing perhaps a nice pair of jeans, a jumper and sneakers may do the trick- stylish and comfortable!
Theatre Show
Moulin Rouge The Musical, QPAC Brisbane – An experience to remember, you can never go wrong with the theatre. Enjoy a jam-packed show, filled with beauty, love, glitz and all things glamour! Who says you can’t dress the part just cause it’s winter? Dress for the occasion and stun in a gorgeous party dress. Complete the look with a gorgeous trench coat and some killer knee-high boots!
Evening Sunset Cruise
Sundown With River City Cruises – The perfect activity for two – River City Cruises offers scenic city skyline views and refreshing drinks for both you and your loved one. Watch the city transform with colour and lights as you cruise along the Story Bridge and Kangaroo Cliffs. Since you’re on the water, this date might be a little chillier than the others – not to worry, we’ve got the perfect outfit in mind. A long sleeve knit dress is incredibly easy to wear and style. You can create a date-night-worthy look seamlessly!
Whether dressed up with boots or down with sneakers, you’re going to turn heads – not to mention a knit dress is designed to keep you both warm and comfortable!
Pottery Class
The Ceramic Studio Brisbane – Located in Indooroopilly, this studio has over 20 Pottery wheels and 11 experienced teachers, ready to help teach the techniques you need to make your own pieces. Offering up to 400 colours for you to choose from, you’re given the option to come back and collect your piece once it’s completed. Located across the Indooroopilly Train Station, it’s incredibly accessible via public transport. Since you’re going to be all hands on deck with this date, we want to make sure you’re dressed in a functional yet fashionable ensemble. Perhaps a long sleeve knit top with your favourite pair of jeans or trousers. If you’re a layering girl like me, you could style a knit bolero over your top or a chic coat to really tie the look together!
So now you’ve got the best spots and the most stylish outfits to go with! What’s left to do other than stepping outside and putting all that fashion and lifestyle inspo to good use? Don’t let winter wear you – wear winter with ease and style!
