Lookbook

Spring is officially here and temps are slowly beginning to warm up. Outdoor dining is back and it’s the perfect time to enjoy a meal outside. Spring date nights are the best excuse to experiment with different looks after the long days of winter. Switching up your date night outfits with the season can be fun and exciting and spring is a great time to pull out all your cute dresses and shorts for a night out. I thought I would round up a bunch of spring date night looks that would work for a variety of different places and occasions.

10 Spring Date Night Outfits

Bright Colored Top

Top | Jeans | Shoes | Bag | Sunglasses

After the cold and dark of winter, it is fun to add a bit of color into your wardrobe for spring. A bright top like this is an instant mood elevator too! This particular style comes in a ton of colors but I love this bright pink paired with simple white jeans and clear heels.

Vest Top + Jeans

Top (similar) | Jeans | Shoes | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

I love how versatile a vest top can be. Wear it with a cardigan and trousers for the workplace or opt for it alone with some chic white jeans for a date night. You can add some strappy sandals to elevate the look or keep things comfortable with some slingbacks.

Slip Skirt

Skirt (similar) | Tee | Cardigan | Shoes | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses

This look is effortlessly chic and would be the perfect look for a first date or new relationship! The silky skirt is so flattering but wearing it with a cropped tee and sandals balances it out and keeps it comfortable. Throw a cardigan over your shoulders for some texture and pattern but if it gets cold you can throw it on to cover your arms.

Maxi Dress

Dress | Shoes | Bag | Belt | Sunglasses

If you are someone that loves a date night dress but want something that is still comfortable, a flowy maxi dress is always a great choice. It’s feminine and chic yet allows you to eat! LOL Add some fun accessories to dress it up but then throw on some sneakers and a denim jacket on the weekend to make it work for a casual lunch.

 Tank Dress

Dress | Bag | Shoes | Belt | Sunglasses

A tank dress will never steer your wrong – especially on a date night. This simple style is great for a night out and shows a bit of skin but is well balanced with the midi length. With the right accessories, you could even dress this up for a fancier evening out or if you have a dinner party that you are attending. Add some metallic accessories or pull in some colors from the dress or keep things neutral like I did with this look.

Denim Midi Skirt

For my gals that want to wear something a bit more trendy (*raises hand*), I love the idea of a denim midi skirt with a simple black tank for a spring date night. In fact, I wore this exact denim midi skirt a ton last summer for various nights out – it became my default look because I loved it so much. The front slit allowed for a bit of leg and I would wear a tank or crop top with it for a night out!

Printed Dress

Dress | Bag | Sunglasses | Shoes

As someone who wears neutrals most of the time, spring makes me want to pull out all the prints and colors! This dress was an Amazon find and it’s so fun and flirty! It’s perfect for a spring date night and so comfortable. I kept my accessories neutral but it would be so fun to play with the different colors of the dress and match some accessories to particular ones. This would also be a great option to wear on a beach vacation.

Mini Dress

Dress

Especially for spring and going into summer, a fun mini dress in a bright color is always one of my favorite looks for a date night. It’s fun and flirty and can be worn with sneakers to keep things very casual or strappy sandals for a dressier spot. This particular dress comes in a ton of colors so if you want something more subtle, get it in black or white and add some colorful accessories.

Black Shorts

Top | Shorts (similar) | Shoes | Bag | Belt (code: MAREE20)

I have a few pairs of non denim shorts in my closet and often style them for a night out during spring and summer. I prefer a slightly longer style and styling them with a vest top and simple sandals is a great way to make the look work for a date night. Vest tops look great worn for a business casual event under a blazer or cardigan, but can also be dressed up with the right accessories!

White Top + White Jeans

Top | Jeans | Shoes | Bag | Belt | Sunglasses

When you are completely stumped and can’t decide what to wear, a cute top and jeans will never let you down. And a monochromatic all white look is timeless and looks great for a ton of different occasions. The accessory options are endless with a look like this or you could add a bright lip for a pop of color. If you work in a business casual environment, this look with simple flats would be great for during the day and then just add heels and a statement necklace for drinks after work.

There is a definite difference between a spring sweater and fall/winter sweater. Fall/winter sweaters are chunky, cozy and ultra warm. Spring sweaters are meant to be lightweight and perfect for the confusing weather that spring is known for. Chilly in the mornings yet warm in the afternoons. The type of weather that makes you confused as to how to dress for the day. That is where spring sweaters come in because they are exact clothing item you need for this yearly weather change. If you don’t own any spring sweaters, start with a simple style and color. You need a basic crewneck maybe in black or white. Maybe a short sleeve cashmere tee to wear under blazers is next on the shopping list. Once you have checked off your basics, then you can switch things up by adding in some color or prints. I rounded up a ton of spring sweaters at all price points in today’s post if you need some suggestions of where to start! And here is a look at some of my own spring sweaters and how I have styled them.

Spring Sweaters at Various Price Points

Tuckernuck Green & White Striped Cardigan

This is a short sleeved version of a lady jacket and I wear lady jackets non-stop so this immediately caught my eye! Perfect for the workplace too!

GAP Cotton Cropped Cable Knit Sweater

I feel like this type of sweater needs a silk scarf draped either over your shoulders or tied around your neck. Wide leg trousers and simple ballet flats complete this look perfectly.

Kilte Margo Cardigan

My cream crewneck sweater that I am wearing in the above photos is from Kilte and is probably one of my  most worn pieces. This rainbow print cardigan looks so fun and embodies the colors of spring in the best way!

Quince Cashmere T-shirt

Quince products are so well made but all at insanely affordable prices. For all my corporate office ladies, Quince is the place to shop if you need quality chic basics like a cashmere short sleeved tee.

J.Crew Brushed Cashmere T-shirt

I love clothing that has texture to it and feel like it really makes an outfit so much more interesting. This brushed cashmere t-shirt looks so insanely soft and cozy.

Reformation Cotton Polo Sweater

Styling a preppy piece like this can be so fun. Style it with baggier jeans and sneakers to create some contrast or wear with some linen pants for a more subtle understated look.

Tuckernuck Short Sleeve Cashmere Sweater

I am not a pink fan for the most part but as soon as spring rolls around, I am immediately drawn to all pink pieces. LOL

Sezane Abby Jumper

The delicate pointelle detail on this sweater makes it so feminine but the simple crewneck style gives it a subtle masculine edge. I love the two mixed together!

Madewell Textural Cotton Sweater

Honestly, this sweater styled with the green cargo jeans is 10/10. But a simple textured short sleeved sweater is a closet staple and something that you will wear year after year.

Tuckernuck Crochet Knit Sweater

This sweater has a bit of an athleisure vibe to it so it would look so cute worn with a tennis skirt and sneakers or even some chic joggers and slides.

Mille Isa Cardigan (discount code: MAREE15)

I have this cardigan in green and styled it in the above photos. I have been stopped every single time I’ve worn this and asked where it is from. From the shape of the sleeves to the slightly cropped length, it is a stunner!
