Date Night Pick: Alexander Wang zip-detailed stretch-knit dress

Why we love it:

For something to earn a spot on our weekly ‘Hot Stuff’ section, it has to be, well, something. But for it to be special, it doesn’t necessarily have to be complicated. In fact, the older we get, the more we understand that a garment’s purpose should be to complement and enhance one’s body and assets instead of overshadowing it.

That is especially true when looking for something to wear on a date – and the reason why this Alexander Wang dress makes the perfect choice for our date night pick.

When dressing up for a first (or first few) dates, the dilemma always is: shall we dress up to impress or dress down to be more ‘cool’? Well, we’d say the balance is somewhere in between hence why this dress ticks all our boxes.

Sexy with an edge and hugging the figure in all the right places, this stretch-knit number is understated without being boring. The colour makes it stand out without being too much due to its knee length hem and high neckline. We especially love the re-imagined slit and flirty zip detail which goes all the way around adding the temptation to unzip it.

We suggest pairing it with simple strappy sandals and a statement clutch to complete the look to perfection.

After all, even science has proven that no man can resist a lady in red!
