Summer Date Outfit Ideas

Booked a fancy dinner at your fave restaurant? Effortless, elegant and versatile is the vibe for this summer date outfit. You want something that can easily take you from dinner to your next destination (cute walk on the beach or post-dinner dessert?!). Slip into a matching set for guaranteed comfort or opt for a staple mini skirt with a cute top - this simple, but statement combo can’t go wrong.

Spending your date by the sea? Water views call for flowy summer styles with eye-catching details. Maxi and mini dresses/skirts are perfect for beach dates, and they’ll likely become your go-to option for everyday cute casual summer outfits too. Easily complete your look with a pair of staple sandals and a crochet tote bag. Experiment with different necklines and find which style you feel your best in - find a few of our faves below!

Is a wholesome game of mini golf on your date agenda? Finding a style that’s cute, comfortable and practical is a must. For date activities we are obsessed with skorts. You get all the pros of shorts but don’t have to ditch the elevated look of a mini skirt. Our best-selling Gigi Skort in Beige Stripe is the perfect option for summer! Opt for boxer shorts with basic tees for something more casual or a floral mini dress for extra vibes. Whatever you choose - keep it comfortable and simple.

Movie date, AKA, the most popular date idea ever. We’ve mastered movie night looks and have a few tips and tricks you mightn’t have thought about. Firstly, it might be summer but the cinema is notoriously cold. Make sure to bring an extra layer or wear some staple jeans (the Hills Halter Top looks gorg paired with the Top Model Jeans). Next, ditch the loud dangly jewelry and opt for delicate pieces like dainty necklaces. This might seem strange, but you’ll be thanking us when you’re digging for popcorn and your accessories aren’t making a scene! Find a few movie night faves below.

Arguably the best date on our list, a concert makes for the highest vibes AND the best outfit (change our mind). The date night outfits for the occasion take major inspo from the cool girl aesthetic. Think graphic tees, denim, maxi skirts, statement sunglasses; just make sure to wear comfortable shoes if you plan to be on your feet all night! We recommend biker boots or cowboy boots.

Keeping it casual with a cute lunch date? Don’t overthink your outfit for this destination (we know it’s easy to do). Stick to your fave summer floral dresses and effortless maxis. Less time getting ready = more time to enjoy your date! Use accessories to level up your look; think statement sunglasses, bold handbags and cute totes. Find a few of our fave ‘need to get ready in seconds’ styles below.

Take your look to the next level with statement accessories. The outfits we’ve mentioned in this blog look gorg’ on their own, but every outfit looks elevated when you find the perfect accessories to match. If you put your summer date night outfit on and feel like something’s missing, don’t stress! Pair your more neutral outfits (black, white, beige) with an accessory that has a pop of color. If your outfit is the star of the show, stick with subtle jewelry and versatile handbags in timeless tones.

You’ve got your outfit, you’ve booked your destination, now what? HAIR. A cute hairstyle can make or break a look. If you already have a go-to hairstyle but want to level up with accessories, this is for you. Elevate your messy bun with a bow hair clip (this type of hair accessory looks extra cute with summer mini and maxi dresses). If you’re spending your day in the sun, put your hair in some easy braids and throw on a bucket hat. If neither of these are your vibe or you just love to wear your hair out, experiment with a cute headband! When in doubt, wear your hair how you usually do (it probably looks super cute like that anyway).
