Getting dressed for your FIRST DATE

dating_310All ready to take her out on a date? Decided the time and venue? How about dressing up? Yes, what are you gonna wear on your first date?

Didn’t really think of about that, right? Here are some tips that will help you decide what you can wear on your first date...


Dress up according to the venue
The venue for the date will decide the kind of clothes you should wear. If you’re taking her out to a lounge or resto bar or movie, go for a relaxed, casual look. However, if you’ve booked a table at a five-star restaurant, then choose dressier, semi-formal attire.

Choose neat, ironed, well-fitted clothes
Please stay away from that shirt no matter how much you like it. Never wear too baggy clothes. At the same time, don’t puff yourself as if you’re in an airtight jar! Go for an appropriate, well-fitted set of clothing to make just the perfect impact.
Also make sure the garments you wear are neat, tidy and well-ironed.

Don’t carry excess baggage
Even if you’re planning to reach the venue just after office, make sure you leave your laptop behind. Also, leave behind all the official files and folders and don’t make her feel that you are over burdened with work. However, carry a classy wallet to carry cash and credit/debit cards.

Choose your accessories wisely
Wear nicely polished shoes. Wear the watch that compliments your attire. If you’re wearing a tucked in shirt, choose the right colored belt.

Ask a friend for an opinion
If you’re not sure weather the new set of clothes you bought for the special day suit you, don’t hesitate in asking your friends for an opinion. After all, it’s better to ask than to assume and end up a fashion disaster.

Go for a quick dress-rehearsal
Plan and prepare yourself well in advance on what you want to wear. Try on the clothes to check if the buttons are well in place and the zips working fine. Move around a little to make sure that the shoes don’t hurt, just in case she wishes to take a stroll after dinner.

Dress to enhance your personality
Wear clothes that suit your personality. Opt for colors that enhance your appeal. Just relax and be comfortable in your skin.

If its winters, carry a jacket along with to offer her if it’s chilly. Finally, carry a small gift for her, turn on your charm and make the most of your first date!
