Week after week millions of viewers tune in for another gripping episode of pseudo reality series The Hills, oftentimes for reasons that they themselves don’t understand. Whether you love it or are fed up with all the hype and the never-ending Heidi vs Lauren feud, there’s no denying that this show is perhaps the guiltiest of guilty pleasures. While Lauren Conrad’s relationship track record is pretty bleak, her date-night ensemble choices have rendered her a bona fide fashion mini-icon. As long as you stay away from dating complete tools, borrowing a play or two from the LC fashion play book can really help you score big on your next date.

This dress is simple, effortless, and chic and can work for a day-date, maybe with cute flats or sandals, as well as a night-date with some amazing pumps. [$501, Alexander Wang]

Lauren wore this dress for one of those famous ‘girls nights.’ The dress is fun and flirty but definitely not overly sexual- perfect for a dinner date or to grab some drinks. [$390, Ya-Ya]

Looking sexy is all about playing with proportions—the loose top and super tight pants created the perfect balance. Try an elegant white chiffon blouse spiced up with fun accessories or a bold-colored purse. [$225, Diane Von Furstenberg]

There’s nothing like a little self-promotion. This dress, part of the Lauren Conrad collection, is classic and fun with a dose of understated sex appeal. [$145, Lauren Conrad Collection]
