Grabbing a cup of coffee is a great way to meet up on a date. Whether that’s with someone you want to get to know a little better, your friends, or even taking yourself out on a date. Coffee shops have that perfect ambiance for a non-threatening quick meet up, and are a great place to break out your best casual yet stylish ensemble.
The coffee date is a far more relaxed and nonchalant meeting than a dinner date. The obvious reason is that it is typically during the daytime, no alcohol is involved, and you’re not pressured to hangout afterwards.
Whether you’re going on a date, taking your laptop to the coffee shop, or hanging out with friends, these fashion tips will have you looking stylish at your favorite local coffee shop.
NEUTRAL COLOR SCHEME
Being conservative with your color scheme and patterns is a safe bet when keeping your outfit low key. The neutral colors blend perfectly together, which will give your coffee shop ensemble a more subtle look. It will also afford great options for mix and matching with accessories.
OVERSIZED SWEATER / CARDIGAN
The cozier the better! And to give your sweater some flare, find one with detailing.
JEANS
After picking out your cozy sweater/cardigan, grab your favorite pair of skinny jeans or your best casual pair of jeans.
BOOTS/BOOTIES
Have fun with playing up your shoes with a leopard/cheetah print or detailing.
HAT (OPTIONIAL)
A hat can add that final touch to your coffee shop outfit, adding a little stylish flare.
These tips should help without throwing you into a closet frenzy. You will have the appearance of an “I just threw this on” vibe. Remember that the best coffee date outfit is the one that makes your look and feel your best.
