First dates can be hard. You’re already stressed out with what to say and how to behave, you don’t need that dark cloud of ‘what to wear’ looming over your head too. You already know that the first impression makes a lot of impact, and the outfit you wear may or may not be one of the factors that leads to the next date.
This doesn’t mean you hire a stylist and get a complete makeover. You’ve got to be yourself — after all, you want the guy you’re going out with to see the real you.
So instead of shopping up a storm for that first date, here are 3 cute outfits you can style from your own wardrobe. But just in case you’re missing a few pieces, we’re telling you where to get them.
If It’s A Casual Coffee Date
Just because it’s a date doesn’t mean you can’t wear shorts. Get a cute, relaxed pair and wear it with a top tucked in. Any kind of flats will work, open or closed, depending on how you feel about your pedicure that day. Add a jacket if you feel like you might get cold.

If He’s Taking You To Dinner And A Movie
The classic first date involves dinner and a movie. While we’re used to going super comfy for a movie, the dinner look might need a little more effort. Pick a cute slip dress and block heels for dinner, and add on a cardigan when you’re ready to head to the movie.

If You’re Going Out Dancing
Honestly, this has got to be the best kind of first date. You’re a tiny bit buzzed and all set to dance the night away. You need something smokin’ to wear, but your shoes have got to keep you standing all night. We’d suggest a pair of wide-leg jeans, trendy stilettos underneath, and a super sexy top.
