Look up "what to wear on a first date" and surely you'll find hundreds of outfit ideas to draw inspiration from. Thanks to your incredible first-date look (and your charming personality, of course), you scored a second date. Things are looking up until you remember you need an outfit for that too. Why does no one talk about second dates? They really are just as important as the first, if not more important, and we want to make sure you have the ensemble to prove it.
To help us out a bit, we gathered some second date-outfit inspiration from a handful of our beloved bloggers. Some of the ladies ahead are married, some are single, and we are here just to admire the quality of their outfits for being top-notch second date material. On a second date, you can really let your true colors shine, especially if you played it safe on date number one. If you are a T-shirt–and-pants kind of girl, wear that, but if you want to pull out all the stops and wear a bright floral dress and satin platforms, there's no time like a second date to do it. At the end of the day, wearing what makes you the most comfortable and confident is the right choice, date number aside.
Ahead, shop the second-date outfit ideas straight from some of our favorite bloggers.
