It's your first date with that cutie from the dorm next door. Or maybe it's your tenth date and you're really feeling the connection, but you don't want to scare her off by making her think you're moving too fast. Perhaps Valentine's Day is around the corner and you want to show your sweetheart you love him, but you don't want to intimidate him by making him dress in a suit and tie for a fancy restaurant, so you're planning to cook him a meal at your place. There's a certain look that's equally appropriate for a night having fun in the city and a night cuddling on the couch, a look that says you're hip and fashionable but not so rigid and stuck up you dress like you're headed to the opera.

Get that perfect look that will make you look stunning for your loved one but still let you be true to yourself. You're young and you have a lot of spirit. Don't let it get stifled under uncomfortable dress clothes, as there's plenty of time for that later. Anyone who's meant to be with you will love your casual attire and maybe even ask you where you bought all that fashionable, comfortable clothing.

All About the Sneakers

Sneakers have the benefit of being incredibly comfy so you can take your sweetheart on a long walk or play a game of ball with her on your date. But they're also simply stylish, especially if you buy one of the most popular brands in the most dynamic styles. Choose a brightly-colored pair of sneakers from the latest brand name releases and coordinate it with plainer-colored clothing like leggings and jeans with a sweatshirt so your sneakers really stand out. If you feel like being especially bright and bold, add the same bright color of your sneakers to other bits of your outfit, like a bright red hat or a bright green scarf.

Versatile Leggings

Leggings are among the most trendy fashion options for young women-and they're perfect for a date because they're comfortable and slimming while drawing attention to your body. Choose Nordic sweater-like patterns in fall and winter and bright and breezy colors in spring and summer. Pair them with sweater dresses, skirts, shorts and oversized t-shirts you tighten at the waist with a belt or be especially confident and wear them as pants with your favorite top. Your date's eyes will light up when you meet him at the door in funky leggings paired with sneakers or oversized boots.

Funky Jogger Pants

There's no reason why young women should have all the fun when it comes to bold and bright pants. Young men look cool and casual in a pair of jogger pants, which are comfortably loose without being obnoxiously baggy. Suitable both for sports and for hanging out with your sweetheart around town, jogger pants tell the world that you're confident and right at home on the court. Paired with a pair of bold and bright sneakers, jogger pants will make you look like you stepped out of an urban fashion magazine. Opt for plain colors or go wild with patterns and colors.

There's nothing cuter than a couple that coordinates well without getting into freaky identically-dressed territory. Rely on layers and bright colors to get a similar look. Shop at the same clothing stores that cater to the young and hip like you and you're bound to pull off the most casual and happy couple style ever.
