What To Wear On Your First Date

What you wear on your first date has a lot to do with what impression you want that other person to have while being with you—and of course, your body. Let’s be honest. If you are really interested to go on a first date that leads to another date, you want the other person to find you interesting enough in your clothes to try and get you out of them later. After that first date, of course (ahem!).

Here are areas to consider before dressing for your first date.
Reason behind that First Date

Are you going out to impress a romantic interest or not? Sexy (and not trashy) will send that message. If you are there for more than being eye candy then don’t wear low cut, too tight or too short pieces of clothing. If you want him/her to notice your intelligence, personality, and humor more than your body parts, don’t distract his/hers eyes away from that mission.
Matchy-Matchy

Wear clothes that match the event you’re attending or the activity you’ll be doing. Consider if you’ll be cold and need a sweater or jacket; if the short dress really makes sense when playing pool or if three inch heels matches the standing/dancing for hours at a concert.
Time of Day/Season

During the day that first date might require wearing more business casual or even beach clothes. During the night glitter, glam and elegance would be more acceptable. Remember your footwear. If you are moving from day to night, flip flops at a café won’t cut it for fine dining. And men, please, no shorts in winter for a first date unless you live in balmy Hawaii or the Florida Keys.
Personality & Style

This is the area that has to be your own choice of how much you want to show of who you are with your clothing choice: clothing texture, prints, designs, confident body hugging or loose bagginess, bold & bright colors or dark and brooding, and conservative or wild combos. Make sure your clothing is clean, pressed, and smells good and matches your shoes, hair accessories, jewelry, hats and belt.
Be comfortable

Tight jeans while playing a sport, blisters in high heels or having a bra strap that keeps falling won’t make you comfortable on your first date. But make do with any mishaps. Laugh it off. And just enjoy your time.
