10+ Fabulous Ideas for Plus Size Date Night Outfits

Whether you’re going on a date with your significant other or planning a first date with a new flame, dating is exciting. But aside from choosing a date activity, determining what you’re going to wear on said date might also get a little hectic.

Of course, you want to look stunning, but you don’t want to overdo it or overdress, and you want to make sure that you are ready for whatever the date may have in store. And because there are so many date activities that could be on the agenda, the possibilities are endless.

But don’t worry! We have compiled a list of outfit inspiration specific to the kinds of dates you might be going on.

So before you visit your favourite plus size boutique, let’s help you find the perfect look that will make your date have constant heart eyes for you.

A Night Out on the Town

If you and your date are planning to grab drinks and then head out to dance the night away, opt for a bodycon dress or sleek jumpsuit that hugs your curves just right. You want to wear something that makes you feel radiant.

Top this look off with a pair of heels—that you feel very comfortable and confident walking in—and a statement clutch. If you want to make sure your outfit fits the mood for the night, google the bar or club you’ll be heading to beforehand to get a feeling for the dress code.

Dinner

What you will wear on a dinner date largely depends on the vibe of the restaurant, but whether you’ll be dining at an upscale new spot or your favourite ramen joint, plus size maxi dresses are versatile enough that, with a few styling tricks, they could work for any occasion. If you are heading to an upscale restaurant, opt for a fitted maxi with a high slit so that you can show some skin, and top the look off with a dainty gold necklace.

For a casual dinner date, an off the shoulder maxi dress would look really cute without being too over the top.

Coffee

Coffee dates are the best for a first date or if you are still just trying to get to know someone because they are often informal and relaxed. And the pressure to find the perfect outfit isn’t as high because you can just wear what you feel comfortable in.

Casual is key for this date, but you still want to put your best foot—and outfit—forward. Wear what you feel most comfortable in, whether that’s a maxi dress, jumpsuit, romper or jeans and a T-shirt. There’s no wrong way to dress for this date!

Game Night

If you thought the arcade was just for kids, think again. Arcades and game centres are becoming a date night hot spot, and rightfully so!

This fun date will have you shooting hoops, smashing gophers and racing cars so you will want to dress like you’re ready for action. Find a pair of skinny jeans that hug your curves just right and pair it with a flattering v-neck or t-shirt.

You can spice up the look with some statement jewellery or tie a plaid flannel around your waist. You could also pair an oversized sweater with some flattering leggings for this date.

The Movies

If you’re heading to the movies during date night, you may want an outfit that is comfortable but still chic. Pair your favourite leggings with an oversized sweater and some knee-high boots.

This outfit will achieve that comfortable and cosy look, while also giving you an outfit that’s simple and beautiful.

Picnic or Outdoor Festival

Planning an outdoor date at a music festival or a wine and cheese night at sunset? Let your personality shine through with fun plus size tie-dye dresses.

These pieces are casual and comfortable, but the bold print will have you looking radiant throughout your date!

Dance Class

Do you and your partner love to dance? If you are taking salsa lessons as a date night activity, you’ll want to make sure you dress the part.

Since athleisure is a huge trend right now, you can totally get away with pairing yoga pants or leggings with a sexy strappy heel—that’s suitable to dance in—with a flowy blouse. You can also wear a cute pair of slide-on sneakers if you’re more comfortable dancing in tennis shoes.

Pack a leather moto or jean jacket to wear after dance class!

Netflix and Chill

Whoever said Netflix and chill wasn’t a proper date was wrong—especially today! If you’re heading over to your bae’s house or you’re hosting a movie night, throw on some comfortable jeans and an oversized graphic T-shirt.

You can also swap out the jeans for leggings or yoga pants. If you feel like the look is a little too casual, throw on some hoop earrings or layer in a few gold necklaces.

To take the look up a notch style your hair and avoid a messy bun.

A Night at the Museum

If you and your boo love touring museums and this is a frequent date night, this could be a date where you have the opportunity to have a lot of fun with your style. You could challenge each other to dress really upscale like you’re attending a gala or you can keep it casual.

For an upscale look, slide into a silky, curve-hugging dress and add a faux fur stole or a classy peacoat to your look. If you’d like to keep your museum look more casual but still fun, pair a slip midi skirt with a sweater—tucked in or tied into a knot—and top the look off with some statement sneakers.

No matter what is in store for date night, always opt for outfits that make you feel confident and vibrant. Because let’s be honest, when your confidence shines through, it rarely matters what you are wearing!

If you need a boost of confidence, add something red to your outfit. Studies show that the colour red makes women feel more attractive!
