For warm weather, wear something in a lightweight, natural fabric like wool, cotton, pima cotton, or silk. For instance, you might wear a cotton sundress with cute sandals or a pair of shorts and a flowy top. For colder weather, you could choose a nice pair of jeans or dress pants. Adding a printed blouse and a nice jacket, such as a pea coat, would take your look from everyday to dressed up.
For an active date, consider nice shorts, capris, or pants; a skirt or dress may make it more difficult for you to move around in. Pair your bottoms with a fun top; an off-the-shoulder blouse or a patterned tank top would work well. For a date at the movies, a restaurant, etc. you could choose a skirt or dress. Consider pairing your skirt with a sparkly tee or ruffled blouse. Adding a fun jacket or shrug over your dress is also a nice idea. A romper would also work well for this type of date.
You could lay out several types of outfits: a maxi dress with a bold belt and sandals; fitted jeans with a ruched top and boots; capris and a wrap top with heels; a skirt paired with a graphic tee and flats; or a sundress with a jacket and wedges.
If the weather is hot, avoid wearing tight clothes that will constrict you. Instead, wear something flowy and relaxed that will let you breathe and move.
A neutral top could be paired with colorful or printed bottoms, or neutral bottoms with a bold or patterned top.
If you normally wear jeans and tees, don’t opt for an evening gown unless the occasion calls for it (such as a black-tie affair). If your style is usually bohemian, for example, your date may be disappointed to see you in a preppy outfit.
There are tons of options out there: wedges, stilettos, booties, kitten heels, pumps, slingbacks, platforms, peep-toes, and mules, or ballet flats, sneakers, flat boots, moccasins, oxfords, etc.
