4 Perfect Outfits for Every Spring Date Idea

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

As the temperature rises and the days get longer, everyone wants to spend more time outside, especially when they’re on dates! Spring dates are the best because we can finally enjoy the warmer weather and replace our wintery sweaters with sundresses. Dressing for a spring date is one of the most fun parts too, because it gives us an excuse to show off the latest spring trends that carry over into the summer. Here’s your guide to dressing for spring dates!

Outdoor Day Date:

Everyone loves going on dates in the spring because the weather is perfect: not too hot, but not too cold! Nothing is better than a well-planned outdoor date to cherish these perfect spring days. I know that the outdoors aren’t for all of us, but who can resist a romantic beach date or a picnic? Another great perk to a day date like this is that there are so many options for outfits! You can dress up with a sundress, sandals, and oversized cardigan, or you can opt for a casual look with denim shorts and athin, oversized long sleeve shirt.

Dinner Date:

This is the timeless date. But a nice dinner can be one of the most intimidating dates to dress for. The most daunting task is figuring out how to dress for the restaurant – is it fancy or casual? It’s always better to be safe than sorry, so go for a put-together look. I’m not saying wear a full on ball gown, but a nice pair of jeans and a fancy top is more than enough to confidently dress for your dinner date!

 

Lazy Day Date:

Despite the fact that we want to enjoy the spring weather outside, we still have finals to worry about! Whether you have a low-key study date or a lazy, relaxing day with your SO, you can still dress comfortably cute! Comfort is key when dressing for a date like this, so leggings, slouchy joggers, or boyfriend jeans are a must! Loose tanks or T-shirts paired with an oversized sweater are perfect for the slightly unpredictable spring weather.

 

Exciting Excursion Date

Another spring date possibility is a fun excursion! Some of the most exciting dates are the ones where you do an activity or take a trip together. You could head to a museum, zoo, or plan a day trip to a nearby city. A jumpsuit or romper is the best outfit choice for this kind of date. They’re effortlessly classy, cute, and versatile since they come in a variety of patterns and cuts.
