First Date Tops

Going on a lot of first dates? You need a simple outfit formula that you can repeat and that you feel good in. Enter the first date top. What more do you need than a cute going out style top, great jeans and basic shoes. Most of the tops I'm recommending are pretty simple black numbers because that's what I tend to wear on a first date. I usually will make more of a statement with my second or third date outfit. Here are 10 first date tops that are simple, flattering and fun and come in a range of prices.

Shop this top that I just bought as a simple black silk first date top. It works with a leather jacket or blazer into the fall or it can be worn in spring or summer. With a dark washed jean and a heeled bootie or flat, this is a great option that is easy to wear and fun to style with some jewelry. Shop it here for $148.

This black top with the additional little detail on top adds a little interest while still offering a simple silhouette and style. It would also look great with dark washed jeans or black denim and simple shoes. Style with no necklace and bigger earrings. Shop it at Banana Republic for $35.

This sheer top is a fun way to change things up while still picking a simple black top. I love wearing something like this with a black bra so it's a little sexy but still classy. Shop this top at Revolve for $99.

This top is perfect for fall or winter. The one shoulder detail adds intrigue while still being a minimalist top. It's perfect to add to your repertoire of first date tops. Shop it at With Jean for $154.

This Meshki tank is a basic but the cut of the top and the intrigue in back makes it a little more elevated. It'll look a little more polished than a black tank and jeans would otherwise. Shop it on Meshki for $75.

I love the neckline of this tank from Shopbop. It's a simple and perfect for date night tops. I think the styling with a simple necklace and chunky earrings works really well and it would look good tucked in or out. Shop it for $95 on Shopbop.

Another sheer number, this time in polka-dots. This top has beautiful little details and I'm often wowed by Realisation Par's items. I think this top is sexy and fun and adds a little excitement to your first date outfit. Shop it on Relisation Par for $160.

This is the simple black top you can wear on repeat. It has adjustable straps so you can fit it to your body and it will look good with any pair of pants you pick. Shop it at Aritzia for $88.

Another Aritzia option that offers a fun pop of color. It also comes in black and some other colors. The high draped neck is a little bit of a different look. Shop it for $88 at Aritzia.

This Reformation top comes in multiple colors but I love this slate shade. It looks great with the black pants pictured. Shop it at Reformation for $148.

I'd wear any of these tops on a first or second date for that matter. When you're going on a lot of first dates, you want to have an outfit formula that doesn't take a lot of thought and that makes you feel good. Any of these tops could easily be your go-to date night top.
