Casual first-date outfits can be hard to assemble, as they're so dependant on your chosen activity. If we're talking "casual" in the truest sense, it could be anything from a walk in the park to a drink at the pub, a mini-golf session or brunch. That, or unless you've been involved in the planning, you might not 100% know what's on the agenda.
But fret not, for we've rustled up a handful of incredibly stylish, casual first-date outfits that strike the perfect balance between effortless and cool so you can focus more on making a meaningful connection as opposed to spending the run-up worrying about what you're going to wear.
