Date nights are a good time — well, unless your date pops up on @TinderNightmares. And first dates always have us a-flutter. Whether you’re planning the perfect picnic or you swiped right for a casual cocktail, we’re here to help take getting dressed out of the equation, so you can focus on what’s most important — the conversation and connection!

COFFEE DATE

1. Forever 21 Triangle Print Low Back Sexy Mini Dress ($15): We like this a-latte for a coffee house date. It’s casual yet eye-catching without being too overdone. Pair with cute sandals and a cross-body bag, and get ready to vibe to some coffee house grooves.

2. Stem Racerback Midi Dress ($58): Sometimes, simpler is better. Go for simple, clean lines like this racerback midi dress. You can accessorize it with a scarf or necklace, a block-heeled sandal and your killer personality, of course.

MOVIE DATE

3. ASOS Knitted Dress ($63): This knit number is just covered enough for the blast of the AC, yet still shows off some curve. Go super sporty with a pair of kicks, or try something more unexpected, like a wedge or pointy-toed heel for a little sartorial surprise.

4. & Other Stories Short Sleeved Shirt Dress ($100): Your date will find it hard to keep their eyes off you, even after the lights go down, in this shirt dress. Poppy red is a head turner and flattering for those with blue-ish or yellow-ish skin undertones. Put a funky belt around the waist for a little more charm.

FLEA MARKET DATE

5. Ruche Distant Travels Tunic Dress ($53): You’re an adventurous laid-back kind of gal, so why not show it off in this breezy little globally inspired tunic dress. Accessorize it with your best vintage or second-hand pieces.

6. Topshop Palm Leaf Slip Mid Length Dresses ($60): This funky mid-century print will help get you in the mood to scour through market stalls on the hunt for the perfect home accessory. For chillier temps, try adding a white or light wash denim jacket with neutral booties.

BRUNCH DATE

7. & Other Stories Mediterranean Print Dress ($60): The breeze is blowing, the birds are chirping and you are looking extremely stylish yet casual in this tank dress.

8. Joe Fresh Floral Shift Dress ($29): The print says “I’m sweet,” but the silhouette says “I’m a modern girl.” Add a little edge to this outfit with a fringed bag and cool mules.

BEACH DATE

9. Alice + Olivia Fierra Dress ($198): Mellow yellow this is not. Turn heads in this cami dress that plays off one of the hottest colors of spring. Whether you go with a neutral heel or a colorful one, your date will be wowed by your gutsy fashion choices.

10. Enzo Costa Double Tank Dress ($215): Sporty Spice, here! And that’s a good thing. You’ve got curves and have worked hard for them, so why not show them off in this tank dress?

DINNER DATE

11. Ted Baker Barbee Toucan Dress ($275): This dress makes us want to dive deep into summer. Channel a tropical goddess with this fiery orange printed number.

12. Nasty Gal I’m Yours LBD ($88): An short black dresses for the modern girl, this scalloped mini says you’re fashion-forward, feminine, a little edgy and fun, all in one. Who knew clothes could say that much?!
