On a first date you will certainly want to make a great impression. Deciding what to wear can be difficult, as you're not sure what will best value you, whether you'll be comfortable enough, warm or cool enough, and whether it will just look good.
Choosing clothes that make you feel in your best shape, confident, happy and comfortable is the first thing to keep in mind. If you feel confident, it will also feel on the outside and it will be a double advantage if you are also comfortable!
Steps
Step 1. Avoid dressing too much or too little
Study where you will be first, so you know what kind of clothing is appropriate. For example, if you go out to eat on the street, jeans and a colorful t-shirt or sweater will do, but if you go to a trendy restaurant then you will need elegant evening attire.
Be aware that clothes send signals. What signs your outfit will send should be what you keep in mind as you choose what to wear
Step 2. Wear a color that fits you well, instead of what you prefer
They may be the same thing, but if not, choose a color that suits you.
Step 3. Be careful to follow only the tips that work for you
It's fun to call a friend to help you choose what to wear, but it can also be confusing if she doesn't have the same style as you. You may end up dressing in a way that doesn't reflect who you are, or projecting an image of how she thinks you should look.
Step 4. Avoid looking too seductive or flirtatious on a first date
You still don't know each other that well, and being seductive or flirtatious on a first date is definitely wrong. Worse still, appearing too flirtatious could give the other person the idea that you are a hit and run, rather than considering you for a lasting relationship. There will be time to show you all of your aspects in the future, and if the date doesn't work, then it means she didn't deserve to see more! Clothes to avoid on a first date, among others, are:
- Anything too short or too low-cut. If you are wearing a low-cut top, don't combine it with a mini skirt, and vice versa. A single item of clothing that lets you glimpse something is enough; don't screw it up by making it a show.
- Your butt sticking out of your jeans. For now, he doesn't need to see your briefs, whatever format they are.
- The bacon roll on the jeans. It is unpleasant and is unlikely to pique interest, no matter how much you feel it is your right to dress like this. Keep it for other occasions.
- Short and very tight dresses. The shorter it is, the less appropriate it will be for a first date.
- Lace tops, bodices that squeeze your chest, any sheer garment.
Step 5. Try what suits you
If you don't know, ask your mom or someone close to you who is honest about telling you which clothes look best on you. You are in charge when it comes to choosing how to present yourself to others, and in this it is important to know what brings out your qualities to your advantage.
Step 6. Use a modest amount of perfume
You don't want to asphyxiate the person you date with your fragrance, to the point of making them pass out. Instead, she uses enough perfume to subtly caress and seduce her senses.
Step 7. Wear what suits you, not what high fashion models wear
You can only wear their stiletto heels if you can walk in them. High heel shoes will make you look taller, give you beautiful posture and make your legs appear longer. But if you're not used to walking in high heels, then don't put them on your first date. They could make you appear insecure, make you walk funny, and you could even hurt your ankles; certainly not the best prospect for a date. Make the right choice.
- There are also low-heeled shoes that can still give you a seductive look.
- Can't find a suitable shoe and have little money? So what are friends for? Take a look at their shoes. Maybe they have what you need.
- Make sure your shoes fit and are comfortable. Losing a shoe worked for Cinderella, but for you it could mean ruining the date and a great embarrassment.
Step 8. Comb as much as possible as you are used to
It's okay to try to look prettier, as long as it doesn't give the wrong impression of you or make you smell like a can of lacquer. For the first date, keep it simple and honest, and the same goes for your makeup.
The elaborate hairstyles that cause you pain on your date would make you focus more on how to get over it, rather than the person you're dating. Forget about all that twisting and pulling your hair in new and absurd ways, and wear your hair in a way that makes you feel comfortable
Advice
- If you really, really want to wear a see-through shirt, put a tank top underneath. Having the other person look at your bra throughout the date isn't the best, and it definitely sends the wrong signal.
- Leather clothes are a double-edged sword. A simple leather jacket can work, as can a knee-length skirt. But a short black vamp leather skirt with a lace top is way too much for a first date!
