35 Cute Winter Date Outfit Ideas & Styling Tips

Ah, the date night. After hours of giggling with your girlfriends and waiting in anticipation, the day is finally here. No matter what stage of the relationship you’re in, wearing just that right outfit can often feel like a mission impossible.

Throw in the winter chills and you’ve got another dilemma: to look hot or keep warm? We say – why not both?

In our last post, we talked about some influencer-inspired winter outfits but today we’ll be focusing on the more natural, practical winter date outfits. The aim of course is to help you nail the perfect balance between gorgeous and cosy on your date this winter:

What to Wear for a Winter Date?

Here are a few pointers to get you started:

  • Go for a little shopping spree – if you can afford it. A little can go a long way. Something as simple as a new scarf or top will show that the date was important enough for you to make the effort.
  • Do Consult your friends. Often, your best pals know what suits you better than you do yourself.
  • Do keep an extra jacket or scarf at hand – being practical is the new cute.
  • Don’t wear something that makes you feel uncomfortable. An outfit will only shine if you feel good in it.
  • Don’t over-accessorize – unless the situation calls for it. In most cases, though, less is more. Too much bling can make you look tacky.

Outfit Ideas

35 – Casual Black Sweater

People often limit sweaters to their ‘at-home’ wardrobes, but you can easily style your black sweater over virtually any cocktail dress and convert it into a cute skirt.

Throw in some knee-high boots, and you’ve got a winning outfit for the date. Here are some more Stylish Outfits to Wear with Long Boots.

34 – Blazer

Dinner Dates call for something a bit more formal, so bring out your lacy pink dress and top it with a blazer to keep yourself comfortably warm.

A jacket and a blazer are both ideal for layering as they keep you warm without making you look bulky.

Printed blazers, in particular, are trending these days, so have a look at my guide on What to Wear with Printed Blazer.

33 – Classic Plaid-and-Pullover

This look is classic because it has a straightforward appeal.

If you want, you can glam up the look with a chunky statement necklace and boots to die for.

For casual dates, it’s important to wear soft, natural makeup. Let your hair down in loose waves or a messy hairdo.

32 – Put on a Cute Jacket

Layering is the magic word to solve all your winter wardrobe problems, and it applies to dates as well.

A cropped jacket can freshen up your dress and keep your shoulders safe from the chills.

With the right accessories, you can make this look for a dinner and just as well for a movie date. This would be a really cute outfit for teen girls.

31 – Bohemian Look

The boho-chic style is THE style to keep an eye out for this year.

This outfit is elegant and super easy to recreate. All you will need is black skin-tight jeans, and pair them up with any printed loose sweater.

For accessories, you can add as many as you want.

You can go for a black scarf or black shoes or wear a nude watch and a matching quilted or clutch. Have a look at these Sweater Wearing Ideas for more tips.

30 – Simple Box-Plait Skirt

For a semi-formal occasion, you can wear any coral or nude-colored knee-length skirt.

With this skirt you can wear a white lace skirt tucked in or out.

For accessories, strap on some nude espadrilles and a messenger bag.

An advantage to wearing corals is that you can easily incorporate the shades into your makeup.

29 – Smart Blazer

This look is perfect if you want a preppy look.

You can pair it with a blazer, but be sure that the blazer is well-tailored so that it fits you in all the right places.

Sloppy tailoring is arguably the least attractive way to dress unless you’re going for an intentionally oversized look.

28 – Biker girl style

Not all girls are comfortable in a dress or skirt, and they don’t have to be.

Again, how you feel about your outfit is more important than anything else.

You can wear black skinny jeans with a shirt in a contrasting color.

Add a studded black leather jacket for extra swag. For jewelry, you can wear studded bracelets and choker necklaces. Black, low-vamped heels are great for adding a touch of femininity to the ensemble.

Little pops of patterns can bring your outfit to life.

We understand that dressing right for your date can be a panicked affair, but you need to remember that although your dressing is undoubtedly fabulous, it is you who has won the date and not your fashionable attire. If your date is ‘the one’, then you’ll look appealing no matter what you wear – as long as you’re you.
