First dates are nerve-racking—plain and simple. You're meeting someone for the first time and naturally want to make an impactful and memorable impression. But how does one do that? Smile, show off your confidence, and of course, don an eye-catching first-date outfit that shows off your personality. Not sure what to wear, especially with the changing seasons? Don't fret just yet because we looked to some of our favorite fashion girls for some inspiration in piecing together the perfect first-date outfit for fall specifically.

The main difference between a summertime and an autumnal first-date look is, you guessed it, layering. Because the day-to-night temperature drops much faster in the fall time. And that's why the majority of the ensembles below have worked with a jacket (or can be worn with one)—a staple layering piece a girl can never own too many of. Now, whether you're going on a more casual coffee date or a dressier nighttime dinner, we found 15 easy-to-copy and effortless but personality-showing first-date outfits that are bound to make a lasting impression.
