Let's be real, 99% of the time, first dates are awkward as hell – especially when all you've got to talk about is one blurry profile pic and the Bumble account they barely took the time to fill out. Give yourself the boost of confidence you need for the first meet-up with a majorly hot outfit that will make you feel like a super babe.

Even if your date doesn't make it past the first night out, these outfits are cute enough to work into your spring rotation. Date or no date, you'll be serving looks that could kill. To make your getting ready process a little bit easier, read up on the best date outfits that will leave your (maybe) future bae speechless.

A Little Sheer Moment

This is my personal favorite first date styling hack. Mesh panelling is a good way to give your date a peak at some skin, without being too obvious about it.

Cardigan and Jeans

Got a first date on the books? Show off your personality with a vintage-y scarf and cardigan. It's perfect for a casual lunch date.

Sheer Top and a Leather Skirt

Leather, pleather, faux leather – they all give off a rock n'roll, cool-girl vibe. Try one in a vampy color, then pair it up with a sheer top and bralette.

Oversized Tee & Blazer

If you're trying to show some skin, but still keep it casual, this is the look, sis. A blazer and tee is an unexpected date night look. Accessorize with hoops and tall boots so it feels like a full outfit.

Leopard Printed Jeans

Show your date that you're ready for a fun evening with this fierce 'fit. Leopard print is basically a neutral, so pair it with a glitzy gold top and cute booties.

Lingerie-Inspired

I'll admit, few but Barbie Ferreira could pull off this look, but the inspiration is strong. Go for a mini dress with a bustier bodice (no, it doesn't have to be latex) for major hot-girl vibes.

Crop Tee and Thigh High Boots

You don't have to go all girly, just because you're going on a date. Channel your inner bombshell in a sexy leather mini and thigh high boots.

There's something about leopard print that just makes you feel so sexy. Pair a simple animal print mini with equally flirty footwear, like Kendall Jenner's knee-high leather boots.

Hot AF Pink (With A Red Lip)

I would never recommend wearing lipstick on a first through third date—you wanna be able to make out if the feeling strikes you—but anything after that is fair game.

Lace Top and Black Jeans

This easy pairing is timeless and classic. The partially-sheer top shows off the goods, without being too revealing. Add booty-hugging black skinnies and a sultry red lip for major babe points.

Leather Jacket and Booties

Not every date night requires a skin-tight mini dress. For a more low-key meet-up, reach for this classic duo. Sultry textures like faux leather and leopard print suede will still make you look (and feel) super sexy.

Slinky Slip Dress

A satin mini dress is the perfect date night outfit, because well, it's basically lingerie – and it doesn't get much hotter than that. Pair it up with big sparkly earrings, and elegant sandals. Layer it over a fitted tee if you're trying for a little more relaxed vibe.

Sexy Blazer Dress

When you're trying to turn up the heat, a little cleavage is always a good thing. Balance out the flash of skin with a structured cut, like this blazer dress. It's super hot, but polished at the same time.

Denim Mini

An edgy denim mini dress serves style and major leg, but still looks laid-back. Style it out with a pair of sneakers – you'll look cool as hell and your feet will love you. It's a win-win situation.

Red Everything

A sexy red look is the definition of fierce. Make sure to get a pic before you change back into sweatpants.

If you don't own a pair of leather pants yet, right now is the time to invest. Add them to even your most stuffy work blazer for an instant dose of va va voom.

Ribbed Tee and Jeans

Casual, with a nod to vintage, the square neck on this ribbed tee shows skin in a super fashion way. It's universally flattering and when worn with jeans, it's the ultimate date night 'fit.

Pretty Midi Dress

This iconic silhouette hugs and accentuates at all the right places – and trust, bae will take notice. Style by layering a few necklaces and voila, you're good to go!

Skirts are overrated (I said what I said). Try a pair of statement shorts that won't run the risk of a wind-related wardrobe malfunction, like your favorite mini.

Femme Maxi Dress

A fitted maxi is a casual choice that still flatters. You'll be comfy and looking your best so you can focus on flirting!
