What to Wear on Your First Date

Excitement! That’s the ruling emotion every time you think of your upcoming first date. Worry! That’s the close second feeling that’s threatening to overwhelm you. What are you worried about? About what to wear of course!

Well, that’s definitely a question that both sexes consider, the women often having no qualms admitting it while the men are much more reluctant. I guess they want to seem like they’re cool enough not to have to worry about such tiny details. Well, girls, don’t fall for that! It’s far for the real truth – men also spend time figuring out what they’ll wear to dazzle you.

So here’s my little contribution to the eternal question “What to wear on your first date for both men and women.” There are a few things that will decide this question for you:

Where you’re going: The venue of your date is without a doubt a key feature that will help you make the right wardrobe decisions. There’s a chance either you or your date are intending to surprise the other by keeping the venue secret but it’s important that you ask what might be appropriate wear in advance.

Style: How modern or conservatively should you dress? Well, the right thing to do would be to strike a balance between the two. Women, you obviously don’t want to look like you’re going all out by wearing a skimpy outfit that leaves little to the imagination. Men, you too would want to give hints of your well toned body rather than showing it all off. Wearing something that’s flirty without being suggestive is what would be ideal.

Comfort:  This is one factor both men and women should pay a whole lot of attention to. You could be wearing the hottest outfit in the world but if you aren’t comfortable, be sure that it’ll show through ruining the whole effect. Wearing something that you’re comfortable in, on the other hand will allow you to forget about pulling and tugging on your outfit and being your natural sexy self.

Accessories:  These are important and can go a long way in complimenting your overall look. But again, the same rules of comfort apply. Ladies, think in terms of high heels. If your date is intent on taking you to a museum or the zoo, or any other place that involves a lot of walking, those high heels will be a real disaster. Men, wearing a leather jacket might up your cool quotient several notches but pouring off sweat because the weather’s not suited for your accessory would make it plunge way down.

Keep these pointers in mind when mulling over the worrisome question of what to wear on your first date. You can’t go wrong by sticking with these “rules.” And, of course there’s the bonus element of losing some of that stress and worry related to such a scenario.

Hopefully, what to wear on your first date will be the last thing on your mind by the time you two get together!
