11 Spring Date Night Outfits That Will Have You Feeling the Love This Season
It's time to shed those layers and take your look to the next level with these stylist-approved tips.
As soon as our weather app shows brighter and warmer forecasts, we pack away our winter wardrobes and fill our closets with light layers and the pastel color palettes of spring. It’s the end of cozy hibernation and the beginning of sunshiny days; the anticipation of nights out with loved ones instead of evenings in with Netflix. But an uptick in social events means going out ensembles are a necessity, so whether you’re spending your free time with your boo or bestie, you might want to shop your closet and put together a collection of spring date night outfits to ensure you’re prepared on a moments notice.
Given that you’ve spent months wearing all things bulky, fuzzy, and not at all form-fitting, it’s understandable if you’re feeling particularly uninspired heading into the warm weather months, in which tank tops, shorts, and spring dresses reign supreme. In most cases, winter date night outfits require minimal effort and are formulaic: a combination of jeans, oversized sweaters, boots, scarves, and outerwear that leans more functional than fashionable to properly shield you from the cold. Spring date night outfits, however, can be more original, thanks to warmer temperatures inviting us to shed our layers, show off our shapes, and have fun with fashion again.
Still, if you’re out of ideas and browsing social media isn’t sparking inspiration, hope is not all lost. Ahead, stylists and fashion experts share the looks they’re excited to put together for spring date nights in 2023, and their creative ideas do not disappoint.

“There is no fashion item receiving more love right now than the vest. And there’s a good reason. Because they are ’structured’ (not loose and floppy like a T-shirt) they tend to be flattering to many body types and hide imperfections in your middle. Perhaps that’s why they’ve been a staple in menswear for literally hundreds of years! Take this trend and run with it for date night - pair a vest with jeans, heels, and a clutch. Brighten it up with a statement earring and a bold lip to add a colorful touch to your menswear-inspired look.” — LA-based celebrity stylist, Abby Arad. Read More…
