STYLE COLLECTIVE: RACH’S GUIDE TO DATE DRESSING

Do you recognise Rach? If you’re anywhere near TikTok, chances are you might. She’s our Womenswear Designer and a proud member of the Style Collective – but she’s also your self-appointed “fashion designer bestie”. When she’s not busy creating dreamy pieces for RI, she’s giving us front-row access to her dating life via her Dating Diaries TikTok series... and yes, we’re fully invested too.

So, who better to trust for dating outfit advice? From those painfully awkward first-date coffees to walks in the park and candlelit dinners (we’re manifesting), Rach has thought about it all – so you don’t have to.

Awkward First Coffee Date

Decided on a coffee for the first date? Rach loves leaning into tailoring for this, mixing smart trousers with a more casual top. She always pushes up the sleeves on her bomber and fastens the top button – a simple styling trick she swears by to make an outfit look chicer in an instant.

Margaritas and Maybe Dinner

Rach says a cocktail date is the perfect excuse to tap into feminine energy with a skirt and a small heel. She loves how pairing it with a dark check and a funnel neckline keeps the look feeling cool, rather than overly girlie.
