Dressy date night outfits for spring

Try a sexy crop top or bodysuit (this is my fave date night bodysuit), with leather pants (this is my fave pair of faux leather pants), a chic blazer, and heels — you'll be sure to impress on a first date in this look! Want to dress it down? Swap the leather pants for skinny jeans!

If you’re not feeling a pants outfit, try out a curve-hugging bodycon dress! This white mini dress is perfect for spring dinner dates or a co*cktail lounge. It has a sexy front cutout design that shows just enough skin without being too revealing for a first date. Finish up the look with a pair of nude heels (shop) and dainty gold jewelry.

For a dressy casual outfit, swap the jeans and tee for a dress (like this long sleeve drawstring mini dress); it looks so effortless and chic styled with a leather jacket — cute outfit for a coffee date!

Not feeling the leather jacket look? Try denim instead! Denim jackets (this is my fave denim jacket) are a perfect spring wardrobe staple that can be worn all season long! If you’d rather skip the jacket altogether, a long sleeve cutout top (like this one) is super chic and can be styled with jeans for a casual look, or dressed up with a skirt or dress pants.
