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 day/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 everywhere!) 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 top outfits for dates that would work from casual coffee runs to fancy dinners to even sporty dates!
10 Best Outfits For Dates That Guarantee To Bedazzle Your Bae
Overview
Here's A List Of Date Outfit Ideas
Coffee Runs


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 and an oversized sweater with high-waisted trousers can make up a perfect outfit for date for a chill scene when you want to be cosy yet comfortable. We found this really cute knitted sweater in a lovely red that's perfect for all your laidback day or night outings.
How To Accessorise: Elevate it with cool sunglasses and a sling for sunny days. Add golden hoop earrings for the night!

Gym Days


There are many date outfit ideas when it comes to what to wear on sporty days, be it hiking, gymming, rock climbing or any other 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 uncomfortable shoes to ruin your mood and date.
How To Accessorise: To give a casual spin to your sporty fit, wear a cap and a messenger bag.

Date Nights


A romantic slip dress is an OG date outfit for women and is perfect for a dinner date on a warm evening. A tiny bag would be the perfect accessory to level up your outfit for dates. Keep the hair and makeup as romantic as possible so loose wavy or straight hair and a red lip can be the way to go here.
How To Accessorise: Opt for strappy sandals and a pair of statement earrings to elevate your fit.

Netflix & Chill


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 and a hoodie 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.
How To Accessorise: If you are all set to snuggle up with bae then accessorisation takes a backseat. Just a super cute pair of socks would suffice for this date outfit for women!

Sunny Day Out


A lovely cottagecore-inspired floral dress is one of the best date outfit ideas that will give the perfect summer vibes during the day. 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.
How To Accessorise: You can pair it with comfortable sandals (Birkenstocks FTW!) and carry a tote bag that can hold all your essentials.

Planning to go partying with your special one? Pair a statement top like this shimmer tube top with cool yet comfy trousers or palazzo pants for a good balance of oomph and sophistication.

Gaming Mode ON


Gaming outfit for date can vary depending on your personal preferences. However, there are two important elements everyone should know. The outfit doesn't only have to look great but be functional as well. A cool 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 and sporty co-ord set.
How To Accessorise: A bucket or a bowling (if you have to carry a lot) bag would suit amazingly with cool co-ords.

Desi On Fleek


'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. An organza saree that's flowy, lightweight and super on-trend at the moment is the perfect attire! Go for a printed blouse with some drama like a bralette or a corset and keep the draping style super simple to balance it.
How To Accessorise: If you are going for a lightweight saree and pairing it with a deep-neck blouse, add a statement neckpiece, but if you are wearing something heavy then sober earrings would look better.
Pro-tip: Don't want the hassle of wearing sarees? Here are the ready-to-wear ones to cut-down prep time!
Museum Visits


When it comes to visiting museums or art galleries, our pick for an outfit for date would be the one that looks slightly professional but still relaxed. Go for semi-casual attire, such as a well-fitted or A-line skirt paired with a blouse or button-up shirt.
How To Accessorise: Comfortable shoes are important, as you will be doing a lot of walking. For jewellery, cute hoops or even light dangling earrings will look great!

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. We found this one suit that looks extremely sleek but has a cocktail feel to it. The cut of the blazer adds to the charm of the outfit and adds character to the look.
How To Accessorise: Some light golden jewellery and your favourite pair of black pumps would look more than amazing!

Tips On What NOT To Wear
- Do not—again, do not—wear anything you’re not comfortable in. Comfort should be your top priority as being uneasy can ruin your entire day.
- Make sure your clothes are neat and ironed; wrinkled outfits can make it look like you didn’t put any effort into getting ready.
- Don’t go overboard with accessories, and steer clear of anything too flashy.
- Maintain a balance between looking too laid-back and overly dressed up.
