Dressing up for date night is always fun. It doesn't matter if it's your first or hundredth date, putting together an outfit is an exciting ritual that sets the mood for the night ahead. However, it can also be a bit daunting at times because every date memo deserves a different look (because sadly you can't wear PJs every where!) but that does not mean that you have to run to the mall too! Instead, all you need is a little inspiration to put together outfits from your existing wardrobe that will work for all of your dates. So, here are some date outfit ideas from casual coffee runs to fancy dinners to even sporty dates.
Casual Coffee Runs To Fancy Dinners: 10 Date Outfits For Every Outing With Bae
Casual-Perfect Sweater & Jeans
If you are grabbing coffee you can definitely be more casual and don't have to make a fuss about what to wear. Fun sneakers or booties and an oversized sweater with high waisted jeans are perfect for a chill scene when you want to be cosy yet comfortable. We found this really cute open crochet sweater in a lovely green that's perfect for all your laidback day outings.

Comfy Leggings & Tank Top
Clothing options are plenty when it comes to what to wear on a athletic date, be it hiking, rock climbing or any other sport activity. You can keep it simple with a pair of well-fitted leggings and a comfortable t-shirt or tank top. Do make it a point to wear reliable sports shoes because we don't want want uncomfortable shoes to ruin your mood and date.
Sophisticated Midi Dress
A romantic midi dress is perfect for a dinner date on a warm evening. Opt for strappy sandals and a pair of statement earrings to enhance the design without taking away from it. A tiny bag would be the perfect accessory here to seal the deal. Keep the hair and makeup as romantic as possible so loose wavy hair and a red lip can be the way to go here.
A Stylish Tracksuit
Arguably the most important aspect of a Netflix and Chill night (if we may, even more so than the movie) is the loungewear. You want to be comfortable and cosy so slip into your favourite soft joggers, hoodie, and socks for cloud nine-level comfort. Layer it with a cosy coat that not only protects you from the cold but also adds to your layering game.

Cottagecore-Inspired Floral Dress
A lovely cottagecore-inspired floral dress is a picnic outfit that will give the perfect summer vibes during the day. You can pair it a pair of comfortable sandals (Birkenstocks FTW!) and carry a tote bag that can hold all your essentials in one place. A nice pair of sunnies and a bucket hat can be added to the look if you want to fully channel your inner Emily In Paris fan.

Sultry Sheer Black
Planning to go partying with your special one or maybe some wine and dine? Pair a statement top like this black lace bodysuit with a pair of straight-fit trousers or palazzo pants for a good balance of oomph and sophistication. Carry a clutch and opt for a pair of stilettoes to tap into the cocktail theme or a pair of mules if you wish to stay a bit more comfortable.

A Fun Co-Ord
Bowling date outfits can vary depending on your personal preferences however, there are two important elements everyone needs. The outfit doesn't only have to look great but be functional as well. A bowling shirt with slightly loose sleeves and a pair of shorts are our picks but you can obviously be a bit extra and wear a fun co-ord set (like the one in the picture).

Georgette Saree FTW!
Cause why not? If you and your date are heading to a function when you need to wear ethnic clothes, then it only makes sense that you are dressed to impress. A georgette saree that's flowy, lightweight and super on trend at the moment is the perfect attire! Go for a stylised blouse with some drama like a bralette or a corset and keep the draping style super simple to balance it.

Exploring Museums Or Art Galleries
Our pick for an outfit for a museum date is one that looks slightly professional but still relaxed. While you want your outfit to reflect your personality and individual style. Go for a smart casual attire, such as slacks or nice jeans paired with a blouse or button-up shirt. Additionally, comfortable shoes are important, as you may be doing a lot of walking.
Post Work Cocktails
An ideal date night situation is all about getting off from work and meeting your partner for a chill drinking sesh. And a power suit is just the outfit that suits both the workplace as well as a snazzy bar fashionably. We found this one from Forever New that looks extremely sleek but has a cocktail feel to it because of the colour and satin fabric. The tie up also adds to the charm of the outfit and adds an element of sophistication to the look.
