There are many perks to a spring date. The season brings with it a general “Love is in the air” vibe, which bodes well for romance. Plus, the in-between transitional outfits mean you can layer up or down as needed.
Personally, I love an active date in the spring, something like a trip to the zoo or aquarium.
After all, it’s virtually impossible to not have fun watching animals do their thing. It’s also virtually impossible to run out of things to talk about at a zoo or aquarium.
I get it. First date topics, second date topics, hell, even tenth date topics can feel tricky sometimes!
How do you keep your date engaged without sounding like you’re conducting a job interview? Literally not a problem when it’s elephant feeding time at the zoo.
Below, check out 6 stylish date outfits for men to wear in the spring:

It’s so simple, but the coordinating colors in the shirt and watch takes the whole thing up a notch.
Day drinks spring date outfit
