As a working mother who has to take care of a toddler, juggle a career outside of the home, run a side business, and spend quality time with her husband, my plate is full! Valentine’s Day is coming up soon and I want to look really nice, but I don’t think it’s necessary for me to be over the top with my Valentine’s Day clothes, especially when all me and hubs really want is some nice, quiet alone time together. To be honest, he prefers it when I look just the right amount of nice - natural looking make up and casual clothes. I’m thankful for that because less work on me!

The good thing is that we’ll likely have a nice casual dinner and enjoy a quiet evening together. Just the two of us! What I love about casual dinner outfits is that you don’t have to spend lots of energy trying too hard - and by that I mean you can easily shop your closet for staple pieces and maybe cop a few new accessories. Casual dinner outfits are also a great option to flatter all body shapes. Me personally, I hate bodycon dresses and I always have! More than that, we should all embrace our bodies and accept them as a part of who we are. We’re beautiful, and we need to act like it because we deserve it! Here are a few great options for casual dinner outfits for all body shapes and I’ve linked easy items for you to shop! There’s a way for us all, sizes petite to plus size, to get ready for Valentine’s Day or any other special casual dinner date by looking cute yet comfy.

Things to Keep in Mind When Picking Casual Dinner Outfits for Any Body Shape

Comfort: Because being comfortable comes first. I always like to try the sit down test in all of my outfits. Sit down with your outfit on before you wear it out and make sure it feels good. There’s nothing like finding out your pants are too tight because they bit of muffin top or roll spilled over just a little. Make sure everything fits just how you’d like it - standing up or sitting down.
Shoes that won’t make your feet hurt: This goes with the principle of comfort, but it doesn’t make sense to get your casual outfits together and pick a pair of designer heels that will have your feet burning!
Minimal accessories: I love accessorizing my outfits, whether they are casual dinner outfits or not, but in this case less is more. Keep it to shoes, a bag, and maybe some earrings that match really well. Think statement pieces that aren’t too large, but that draw attention!

Distressed Jeans

For some reason I love distressed jeans. They just give any outfit an extra edge, you can dress them up or down for a casual dinner outfit, and they work for all body shapes. Think about pairing your distressed jeans with a body suit or even a sweater that has a pop of color, some animal print heels, or booties and accessories that match.

Leather Leggings

Leather Leggings are one of my favorite picks for a casual dinner outfit that fits all body shapes. For one, they’re sexy. I mean, what’s better than a pair of pants that looks like they’re almost painted on, right?! These are best for winter weather, obviously, and can be paired perfectly with an over sized sweater or a sexy top under a cute blazer - that’s one of my favorite go-tos! Add a cute pair of booties, or better yet, over the knee boots!

All Denim

There’s something about an all denim outfit that just screams casual, yet edgy.! I love how all denim looks on both men and women. All denim is a great option for a year round casual dinner outfit especially if you keep the denim on the lighter side, like a cotton denim. Add a pop of color and extra comfort with a pair of smoker flats or mules with a forgiving heel height to your all denim look. Another great option to stay comfy on your feet and add “extra” to your denim casual date night ensemble is to throw in a pair of cute platform pumps. Platforms add stability to the ball of your foot, which is genius if you just have to wear a heal. Find a really cute clutch that matches to complete your look!

Comfy Skirts

I”m not huge on skirts at all, but when I do where one, I always choose one that is fit for the season and flattering to my mommy belly. Peplum styles are my favorite because they’re so cute, and they hide my biggest problem area. Skirts are perfect for casual dinner outfits, the office, for even brunch with the girls! For a dinner date that’s casual, pair your skirt appropriate for the season with a light sweater, or even a sexy body suit for comfort. Wear a some versatile comfortable heels, or even a great pair of stylish flats to set off your look!
