Dress to impress

Here are a few tips for women who are all set to go out on their first date!

Has your guy finally gathered the courage to ask you out? And is this your first date? Then, invariably you will be in a state where you feel your wardrobe is empty. Don’t worry! Help is at hand. We offer you a list of dos and don’ts on your first date.

A first date is an impression-maker. Remember, he’s already seen you and now wants to know you. Let your clothes speak for you. The way you dress can tell a lot about the kind of person you are. Make sure you dress elegantly on your first date. No skin shows please!

If you wear a skirt, make sure it reaches at least to your knees. To go with it, wear a top that is not revealing. The way you dress and carry it off should make an impression on your date. It should also ease the pressure that is bound to be there on a first date.

Do not try and squeeze yourself into an LBD (little black dress). It is for sure not going to impress him. Your best option will be a simple flare skirt or denims clubbed with a good tee.

Don’t dress casually or formally. Go for a smart informal look that makes you look just right – not too bold nor understated. Stick to beige, mild blues, blacks or greens. Do not overuse any colour.

Most men like simple accessories. Do not experiment much. A simple stud can do the trick for you. Opt for shoes or sandals in subtle colours and make sure they aren’t in the same colour as that of your dress. If you are wearing stilettos, carry yourself well.

Avoid buying a new outfit when you dress for a first date. This can give the impression that you are trying too hard and will make your date wonder what the rest of your wardrobe looks like.

You can also consider wearing your lucky or favourite outfit. This might leave you more confident and boost your self-esteem at a time when you are likely to be a tad nervous.

To conclude, when you dress for a first date, make sure you don’t under or overdo it. Always dress in clothes that are neat, clean and ironed and make sure you leave your ‘crazy clothes’ in the cupboard. Lastly, whatever you wear, do not leave behind your smile. Carry it along all the while!
