As much as we love a dinner date somewhere fancy, sometimes we love a low-key movie night too—and no, we don’t mean Netflix and chill. There’s nothing like keeping it casual early on in the dating game.

Despite being in a dark theater for approximately two hours, we're all for putting together an outfit that makes you feel confident (yet comfy). A movie date might be on the relaxed side of the activity spectrum, but that doesn’t mean your personal style has to be compromised.

If you have a movie night planned with your S.O. coming up, we’ve found some of the perfect comfy yet cool looks that’ll work for the occasion. Throw on a pair of stylish trousers and a cute sweater for that intellectual drama, or add a blazer to a pleated skirt for that hilarious rom-com. With just a few simple pieces, you’ll feel comfortable and confident for the entire film.

If you really want spring to come, pair a set of over--the-knee boots with a floral dress to make it appropriate for the colder weather.

Who said camouflage can't be chic? Wear the print with a pair of streamlined sneakers and a blazer to elevate the look.

A plaid print skirt styled with a black turtleneck will alway be a classic ensemble to throw together for a date. Make it a little more cozy with a longline coat.

If you want to make a casual date all the more elegant, a pleated skirt instantly takes an oxford shirt to the next level.

Coming from the office? A pair of white trousers with a bright yellow sweater will be a comfortable yet unexpected alternative to blue jeans.

If you're a bit more adventurous with your outfits, try a unique printed corset as your top. Keep everything else simple; a pair of black slacks will do the trick.

Last but not least, if you want to wear denim, but not necessarily jeans, a jacket is always the way to go. Wear it with a pair of corduroy jeans to give your look even more interest.
