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:
Meeting for coffee
Shop the elements:
The Look: A lightweight, short-sleeve shirt, easy-breezy drawstring pants, and casual sneakers
SG Says: This outfit is deceptively stylish.
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
Shop the elements:
The Look: Think spring!
SG Says: I love the light feel of this outfit, and how the colors in the shirt and pants are picked up subtly in the sneakers.
You’ll look put together without feeling overly formal.
If it’s warm-ish out, swap the jeans for chino shorts to flash a little leg.
Headed to the museum spring date outfit
Shop the elements:
The Look: Monochromatic vibes
SG Says: This would be a great casual first date outfit. The ensemble is sophisticated without looking like you’re trying too hard. It’s just jeans and a t-shirt with sneakers, after all!
A day-to-night men’s spring date outfit
Shop the elements:
The Look: Serious style
SG Says: Maybe you’re headed to a movie, and it will be dark outside by the time it’s over.
Whether you head to a bar for drinks or out to dinner, a date outfit with a button down shirt works in most situations. Spring style accessories like a Western belt add a little extra fashion oomph.
Bottom line? You’ll look great for wherever the evening takes you.
A casual men’s spring date outfit
Shop the elements:
The Look: A casual pop of color
SG Says: Not every spring date look has to be meticulously planned out. This outfit is one you’ll feel totally comfortable wearing, and still look cute to boot.
Win win!
Strolling through a park spring date outfit
Shop the outfit:
The Look: Parisian chic meets farmer’s market-core
SG Says: When the weather’s cooperating, head outside! This outfit is perfect for strolling through a park or farmer’s market and smelling the flowers and/or heirloom tomatoes.
Not into Birkenstocks? Swap the clogs for a pair of espadrilles or penny loafers.
Real-world spring date outfit inspiration
Team SG loves a man in a cardigan for spring. Opt for one in a bright color to stand out!
Swap in a sweater vest if you want bare arms when the weather gets warmer.
For the most part, you won’t need to level up to a dress shirt or blazer for your spring date night outfits. That said, loafers are a nice touch for elevating a casual look.
A denim jacket is probably already a part of your spring outerwear wardrobe, so throw that on over your outfit as a finishing touch.
How nice of a touch is that bandana around the neck? Spoiler: very nice.
Because the workwear jacket trend isn’t going anywhere this season.
A date night outfit that’s almost impossible to get wrong? Khaki pants and a well-fitting tee in a neutral color.
More loafers!
Worn with a jacket in a sunny color, your date can’t miss you in a crowd.
