What to Wear on Library Date – My Easy And Chic Go-To Outfit!
Things have been getting kind of cute with this guy I’ve been seeing! He’s got that whole charming, bookish vibe going on – you know, the type who probably owns a few cool bookish graphic tees, which is totally the whole package for me. We’ve done the usual date stuff – picnics in the park, catching a movie, even a slightly nerdy museum trip (which was surprisingly fun!). But our absolute favorite? Library dates! There’s just something so cozy and intellectually stimulating about wandering through rows of books together.
Now, the big question always pops up: what do you even wear to a library date? You want to look nice, obviously, because, you know, date. You definitely don’t want to show up in something too loud or attention-grabbing, like maybe that funny “only you can prevent book burnings shirt” (as much as I love it for other occasions!). You also don’t want to look like you’re trying too hard or overdressed for a quiet place filled with books. It’s a win-win balance, dear!
My Library Date Style Secret
After a couple of these literary outings, I think I’ve nailed down my go-to outfit formula that’s both easy outfit ideas and makes me feel chic and cute:
Choose Basic Outfit
I almost always start with a great pair of well-fitting jeans. Not squeezing you in, not swallowing you whole – just a good, comfy, regular wash. Lately, I’ve been loving my straight-leg ones. They just feel a little more loose than skinnies, and honestly, they go with pretty much anything, even that cool banned books t shirt I just got! But yeah, whatever jeans make you feel good will work!
Neutral Not-so Catchy colored Top
Okay, so for the top, I usually go for something that adds a little bit of “me” without being too loud. A soft, slightly oversized knit sweater is always a winner in my book. Basically, I aim for something that feels good but still looks like I put a little thought into it, you know? Nothing too crazy or attention-grabbing up top.
Chic Outer As A Layer
Okay, and when it comes to throwing something extra on top – because you never know with the weather (or how intense that library AC is gonna be!) – a light jacket or cardigan is always my go-to. Yeah, a denim jacket just has that effortlessly cool, chill vibe, right? But if I’m feeling a bit more put-together, a longer, more knit cardigan – kind of like the vibe you see on some really stylish library shirts – can instantly make things feel a little chicer.
Classic Silent Shoes
My go-to choices are usually cute but still practical flats or some stylish sneakers. You know, like those classic white sneakers that go with everything? Or maybe some chic loafers if I’m feeling a little more put-together. But yeah, def leaving the stilettos at home – no one wants to be that person clicking loudly through the silent sections!
Tote Bag
Okay, so for a bag, I’d definitely say a tote bag. It’s just so easy, you know? You can toss in all your stuff without it feeling bulky or getting in the way.
