Thinking of the perfect outfit for your next date night?

Stay afloat the pressure with these outfit inspiration ideas that’ll have you looking like a snack in no time. 

First things first, there’s no one outfit for every occasion, so choosing an outfit should depend on where you are headed. Whether you’re going to the movies, out for dinner or grabbing a cup of coffee, here are some great date night outfit ideas: 

• Movie Date Outfit Ideas 

A more casual outing movie dates don’t require you to go fully kitted up, but let’s not go too casual. Opt for simple clothing choices that blend casual and dressed up clothing items. Choose wide flair pants and a cute top to keep you cosy and looking chic. Pair this with some sneakers, low heels or sandals. 

If you’re a dress lady, mini dresses or flair dress, take the lead on this one, paired with flats or low heels and accessorise liberally. 

• Beach Date Outfit Ideas

Planned a day out under the sun, opt for casual styles, soft flowy materials with unstructured designs. Choose chiffon, a lightweight cotton or flowery materials to keep you cool and relaxed. 

Choose cute shorts paired with a beautiful top, gorgeous sandals, and a straw hat for a more contemporary vibe. Or embrace your feminine vibe with a mini or maxi dress with cute slippers and a hat if you choose. Don’t forget minimal but flattering accessories. 

• Casual Date Outfit Ideas 

Whether you’re just grabbing lunch, some coffee or on an ice cream date, go low effort but sophisticated. Denim is very often the perfect choice for these outfits, whether it is as jeans, a dress or a jacket. Pair a cute pair of jeans (slightly ripped if you prefer) with a blazer or a mini dress/skirt and a denim jacket. Accessorise with a necklace, hoop earrings, a bracelet and a watch. 

You can also wear leather pants with a statement top and some heels. 

Just remember to keep things bright and fun. For shoes, choose comfortable ones, whether it is a pair of flats, low heels and if you can manage stilettos. 

• Dinner Date Outfit Ideas 

Dinner dates are an absolute favourite; the ambience, romance and sophistication of these dates gives you the liberty to pull up in your best of looks. 

Choose a stylish dress with exaggerated details, whether it is cut-outs, off the shoulder, fringe or stylish designs. Black and white work best for a lasting impression, but you can throw in other colours that flatter your skin tone, like red for dark skins and pink for fair-skinned people. 

If you’re a trouser type of girl, leather pants, wide-leg trousers paired with statement tops.

For your legs, you can never go wrong with the right pair of sandal heels, oh! Remember to match your shoes and purse together; it’s an elegant style tip that has lasted centuries ;). 

When accessorising, maybe keep the wristwatch aside and replace it with bracelets; add some earrings and a necklace to finish. 

• Concert Date Outfit Ideas 

Not really a popular date outing, especially here in Nigeria; if you do get invited on a concert date, it won’t hurt to be prepared. 

Depending on what type of concert it is and the weather condition, you have to pick your outfit to match. So for cold December nights, a leather jacket would definitely come in helpful paired with a pair of boots or sneakers for comfort. 

Mini dresses for hot nights are also paired with sneakers with a matching bag.
