Elevate Your Spring Dates with 11 Chic Outfit Ideas
We start packing away our winter clothes as soon as the weather app predicts warmer temperatures. We replace them with lighter layers and pastel colors of spring. The end of hibernation is here, and with it the arrival of sunny days and nights spent with friends and family instead of watching Netflix or chilling out. A rise in social gatherings means that going-out outfits are essential. You might want to go through your closet to find the essentials you need to be prepared for any situation.
Style and fashion experts have shared their favorite spring date-night outfits. Their creative ideas are not to be missed.
Try a Vest

Because vests are structured (and not loose and floppy, like a T shirt), they flatter many body types. They also hide flaws in the middle. Maybe that’s why vests have been a staple of menswear literally for hundreds of years. Pair a vest, jeans, heels and a clutch for date night. Add a splash of color to your menswear inspired look with bold lips and statement earrings. Celebrity stylist Abby Arad
Romper or Pantsuit

I don’t believe rompers and jumpsuits are given enough credit when it comes date night ideas. A romper can be a great option for something in between denim and dresses. They look great with sneakers or heels, and are comfortable!” Style expert Christina Stein
Rock a Linen Dress

If I was styling an outfit for a date night, I’d pair an ivory mid-shin strapless linen dress with a golden beige open toe kitten heels sandal. Jewelry-wise, I’d wear a small gold hoops or a diamond stud with simple bracelets. A medium-sized bag would be my choice. Caitlin is the CEO and founder at Caitlin Organizing & Style Caitlin.
Choose relaxed jeans and a tee

“Vintage denim with a cute baby tee, and a shoulder bag.” Levi’s 550 Mom jeans are my favorite. I pair them with a small women’s T-shirt and a pointed-toe pumps to dress it up. Siena Montesano, celebrity stylist
Wide-Leg Jeans: Look Cool

For something cool, comfortable and still sexy I like the idea of a slinky bodysuit in silk or viscose with ecru, ivory or higher-waisted loose-leg jeans, and a minimalist heeled shoe (black would be a great choice for an evening that is striking and unexpected). A crisp white midi dress can be paired with a bold mules in a spring-like color such as pink or green. Bryn Taylor, personal stylist
Turn It into a Menswear Moment

“A menswear t-shirt, worn as a gown with stockings, or as a onesie with a statement shoe and a necktie from menswear.” Add a little color with a Fedora, and finish off the look with a lip that is red. “Another option would be a menswear-inspired cinched top worn oversized over a pair high-rise shorts with stockings under, a statement shoe, and a western bolo.” Lisa Virtue, 7 for All Mankind’s Vice President of Women’s Design and Trends

“Romantic grunge is a juxtaposition of edgy texture and softer elements – think feminine florals, ruffles – that’s effortlessly cool. Style a floral midi dress with a leather jacket, or pair leather pants with romantic ruffles. You will feel both feminine and tough. “A winning combination for date night.” — E!

Feel Sexy In Silk

“My favorite approach is to layer and add flair. My flair recently came in the form a knitted miniskirt with a fringed hemline. “I pair it with tights and my knee-high boots, as well as my favorite cashmere jumper.” Sarah LaFleur, Founder and CEO at M.M.LaFleur
Wear a Sultry Slipdress

Add some leather to your look

“Faux Leather is the ideal date night option in warmer weather. Pair it with tops that are appropriate for the season, such as a silk cami. “A vegan leather pant with wide legs and cropped is a great option. It looks great with flats or heels, depending on your mood.” Jacqueline Harris, co-founder of I Love Tyler Madison and designer.
