There is something about the weather getting warmer that makes everyone want to couple up, go on first dates, and enjoy the warm weather with a new romantic interest. As my friend group’s go-to outfit consultant you can imagine, my group chat is blowing up with questions about what to wear on springtime dates. When it comes to a great date-night look, the best way to go is comfortable and stylish.
Depending on your romantic outing, there are tons of great outfit options. From tailored jeans and a chic blouse for a daytime picnic date to a minidress and blazer for drinks and dinner, I’ve figured out five go-to outfit combinations that are guaranteed to check all three boxes of flattering, comfortable, and stylish.
Keep scrolling to see the date-night looks I’ll be wearing this spring.
Dresses + Blazers
A great dress is a date-night classic. The leg-bearing length of a minidress paired with the stylish formality of a blazer makes this outfit combination anything but boring. I’d wear this combo to drinks and dinner.

Blouses and Jeans
Don’t underestimate the power of a classic denim-and–chic-top look. Sometimes the best looks are the ones that are the easiest to put together. Plus, putting on your favorite pair of jeans is always a confidence booster. Style with comfortable mules and gold jewelry for a daytime date.
Shop blouses and jeans:
Two-Piece Looks
Two-piece looks are actually the easiest way to ensure you look put-together and on-trend. They’re eye-catching and can be styled together or separately, but when it comes to date night sets are guaranteed to please. I mean, who doesn’t love a good set?

Miniskirt Moment
So, 2022 may be the year of the micro skirt. These skirts have been seen everywhere, from runways to every fashion person's Instagram feed. Pair a miniskirt with a bodysuit or blouse for drinks and dancing.

Midi Dress and Heeled Sandals
I don’t think there’s a combination I love more than a midi dress and heeled sandals. I look forward to spring/summer every year to pull out all of my midi-length dresses and open-toed shoes. This look is really only two steps and is actually one of the most comfortable looks. You could wear this look on a daytime or nighttime date, take your pick.
