#1. The Low-Stakes Coffee Link-Up

The most casual first date is a coffee date, but it’s still not casual enough to wear the sweats you’ve been wearing while binge-watching Suits on Netflix. Start with a weekend-appropriate outfit that includes a crewneck sweater in a solid color without any graphics paired with clean-cut, untoasted sneakers. Inject character into the combo with a discrete dress watch or a pair of pants that appear to be fitted but actually feature a hidden elastic waist. Every first date requires you to keep a few things secret.

#2. The Leisurely Weekend Hang

The best first date outfit feels comfortable but can handle the possibility of mutual enthusiasm over time, whether ducking into a pasta restaurant or an impromptu afternoon cocktail. This is true when an activity is scheduled, such as a museum visit, a concert in the park, or a leaf-peeping stroll. While you’re out and about, a blouson is a stylish and practical choice that can withstand an unexpected downpour. The fit wouldn’t be affected by a pair of clean sneakers, but gum-soled Wallabees look smoother and will still stop your dogs from barking.

#3. The Post-Work Drinks

This is where the spotlight hack truly, um, shines. Going from work to a meet-up can be a problem if your company’s dress code is aggressively severe. While you ditch your “office-y” blazer after work, slide in a Western belt that can make you stand out in both the cubicles and the bar, while possibly giving you something to speak about. Top-notch leather goods are a simple spot to flex some personal style. In addition, derby shoes seem posh enough to escape any CEO side-eye.

#4. The Dinner-to-Dancing Night Out

Make a first date outfit that exudes the same excitement since you have a difficult-to-get dinner reservation and the possibility of a big night out afterwards. That leather jacket you’ve been saving for the ideal scenario? The time has come. Put on your chunky shoes for stomping. The move with a vest and necklace, which elevates a fresh white tee, maybe the actual improvement in this outfit.
