Fall fashion season is in full swing and with it, a new crop of trends that are sure to put you in the mood for pumpkin spice lattes, warm layers and cozy fall dates. While not all trends are practical for everyday wear (we’re looking at you, “Russian Doll” trend), we pulled a few of our favorites that are ready-made to up your first-date outfit game.

Winter Florals

This season’s winter florals are neither the outmoded floral patterns reminiscent of your grandma’s drapes, nor the bright, psychedelic flowers patterns of the 70’s. These cool, modern florals are perfect for adding a sophisticated pattern to any date-night outfit. Pair with calm neutrals for an elevated look straight off the runway.

Floral First Date: Take this look to a slightly more upscale event like a night at the symphony or that great bistro with an impossibly packed reservation list. Winter florals are an easy way to dress up a basic skirt or pant, paired with minimal jewelry to avoid cluttering your look.

Black Leather

Pair tough and chic with this fall trend. Always in style, black leather takes center stage this fall with moto-inspired jackets and rockstar leather skinnies that look equally good paired with killer heels or sporty flats. With jackets perfect for fall layers, this trend is sure to be a hit with your first date.

Bad A** Date Night: Try rocking this look when you need to add an edge to your everyday look. Pair a black leather jacket or pant with your favorite fall top for an extra layer of cool. Take this fall trend to a food truck round-up or turn heads at that trendy new fusion restaurant downtown.

Denim

Denim, a classic staple perfect for all seasons, is taking a featured role this fall. Pair with ankle boots and a warm cardigan for an effortless fall look you can dress up for a night out or down for a casual date. If comfort is your chief concern, this is the fall trend for you.

Perfect Denim Date: Try this comfy look for a stroll in the park or to impress with your effortless charm on a coffee shop date. Dress up your denim with a statement piece (read: winter florals!) or some fall inspired accessories.
