As summer approaches and temperatures rise, the ladies of the North End Collective have summer date night look ideas that will be sure to make you stand out.
Treat your body well by adding natural and handmade products to your date night body and hair prep routine.
“Looking fabulous starts well before you even choose an outfit. It begins with body care and why not do it with natural and handmade products,” said Shannon Reaves, owner of Bath Savvy. “Prepping the body is essential. Take a relaxing shower and enjoy the luxurious lather of our handmade soaps and seal in all the moisture with our scented Hair & Body Oil Cream.”

“This dress is for the young professional who wants to stand out and be classy,” said Jordette Singleton, owner of United Front. “The dress itself is a little bold, so adding small details like the stone necklace and rose gold sunglasses won’t compete with the dress.”

Stand out in this unapologetically fly look. Whether it’s brunch or a concert at Chene Park, you’ll be comfortable and fly in this bold look.
“A long sleeve crop top is perfect for summer nights. Adding a unique accessory like a statement necklace can update your wardrobe for the summer,” said Deidra Hogue, owner of The Traveling Pants Co. – Deidra Hogue the-traveling-pantscompany.myshopify.com
“Choosing the right accessories is just as important as choosing the right outfit,” said Brittany Chanel, owner of Purple Love. “Add bold accessories with simple outfits and less bold accessories with bold outfits.”
