Obviously summer is the time to store away the winter coats and bring back out the cut-offs and crop tops. With warm weather right around the corner, it is important to start planning those warm weather, trendy outfits for ~date~ night. 

 

1. The casual date

This outfit is crucial. Clearly a casual date is the date you will have more often than not, so it’s important to have a variety of easy options. Anything from denim cut-offs with a graphic tee, to BF jeans and a casual tank with a cardigan. A denim jacket is a must and can add some spice to any casual outfit. Stan Smith’s, gladiators, or vans are your best bet for casual and comfy shoes. 

2. The movie date

This outfit can vary. Anything from trendy joggers and a plain tee to comfy jeans and a casual tee shirt. Again, a jean jacket is a must here. Movie theaters get cold and you always want to look cute but not trying too hard. 

3. The fancy dinner date

Obviously you have to step your game up here. This time a jean jacket won’t do. A light leather jacket is the perfect place to start. You can use it to dress up a summer dress, two piece, or white jeans with a going out tank. Platforms or kitten heels are the perfect shoe for a fancy dinner date. 

4. The picnic

A picnic date outfit can range from a subtle two piece to a skirt with a t-shirt. Denim cut-offs are also perfect for this type of date. Regardless of the outfit, keep it fun, playful, and casual. 

5. Drinks

No jacket for drinks. Nice jeans, heels, and a tank are a must for a drinks date. You want to show some skin while also looking appropriate. A playful dress or skirt with a crop top are also a very good option for this type of date.
