Spring is in the air, which means date nights are finally stepping out of hibernation, and so is your wardrobe! Whether you’re headed to a rooftop dinner, a sunset walk, or just grabbing cocktails on a patio that requires a light jacket, the panic of what to wear is a feeling I know too well.
If you’re trying to figure out what to wear on your next date night, here are some outfit ideas that are easy, but elevated. Plus, I guarantee you already have a lot of these pieces in your closet!
Spring Date Night Outfits
A Simple Midi Dress and Woven Sandals
When in doubt, go with a classic midi dress. It’s one of those throw-it-on-and-go pieces that make you feel put together without trying too hard. I love pairing a neutral midi with woven sandals, for a soft, elevated look perfect for patio cocktails or a weekend picnic.
A Black Slip Dress
A black slip dress is one of the most versatile pieces in your closet. It’s effortlessly chic, a little flirty, and works for any kind of date night. Dress yours up with a heel or keep it low key with sneakers and a denim jacket. A slip dress will never let you down.
Oversized Bomber and Wide Leg Ankle Jeans
I love the mix of structure and ease of this outfit. The oversized bomber jacket gives off that effortlessly edgy vibe, while wide leg jeans keep things casual but still polished. Pair with a fitted tank or baby tee underneath, add some sneakers or kitten heels, and you’ve got the perfect look for a brewery or laid-back dinner date.
A Knit Dress and Heeled Sandals
A knit dress in the spring is a must. It’s flattering, cozy, and just the right amount of dressed up. Add a pair of block-heeled sandals and you’re ready for dinner or a rooftop happy hour. I love that this look feels a little more elevated while being super wearable. For cooler nights, pair it with a trench!
Patterned Blouse and Straight-leg Jeans
I am a denim girl through and through so once it starts getting warmer out, I love pairing my favorite pair of straight leg jeans with a cute top. Since the weather is nice out, opting for a fun pattern top instead of solid colors will draw the eye. If this is your go-to date night outfit, elevate your jeans with a great pair of shoes and a fun clutch!
In the spring months, I love taking advantage of the warmer weather and patio season which usually means more casual spots. This outfit is perfect for that!
A Mini Dress and Elevated Sandals
You can never go wrong with a simple LBD for date night and this one is so good. It not only is the perfect length, but it also has pockets and it’s easy to style up or down. If you’re going out on a first date and want to look put together but still comfortable, this is your best bet! And always, always, always bring a third layer to not only tie the outfit together but also provide you warmth on those cool spring nights.
A Flowy maxi Dress
On the nights that it’s warmer out and wanted to look elevated but still casual, a midi dress is going to be your best friend. They’re easy, they’re chic, and you can pretty much get away with going to dinner anywhere in one. With the length of a midi dress, I always love pairing my lace-up sandals with it. While standing, they look like normal sandals but once you’re sitting, you see that extra detailing. So fun!
Midi dresses also give a good opportunity to pull out some of your more elevated spring shoes, like a platform sandal!
Fitted Tank with Sttraight-Leg Jeans and Heeled Sandals
A fitted tank is a wardrobe essential. They’re so easy to style with a plethora of bottoms and are even better for date night. When it comes to styling a fitted tank for date night, always opt for neutral colors and pair it with elevated pieces, like these heeled sandals. It’s a simple outfit that packs a punch!
A Monochromatic Look
If you’re looking for a simple but sexy date night outfit, pull out your pumps, favorite bodysuit, and a pair of jeans and you’re good to go! One of my favorite ways to wear this outfit for date night is by keeping it monochrome. The all-black draws in the eye and is a fun way to dress up jeans. It also feels like you put in more effort, which always makes me feel good about myself.
