9 Low-Key Yet Chic Outfits That Are Ideal for a First Date

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.
The most important thing you need to consider about your first-date outfit is feeling comfortable and confident, and below are nine outfits we believe will help you feel just that. Chances are you'll even be able to pull them together from pieces already in your wardrobe. However, should you find yourself missing an essential item, we've also shopped out each look for you. All that's left for you to do is to get brushing up on some conversation starters.
