Fashion mistakes to avoid on a first date
We briefly covered what to wear on a first date just last week but we had such good feedback from you all that we thought that we’d expand a little. When it comes to fashion and dating, there are so many rules out there that it’s impossible to know what to take as gospel.
However, here are some tried and tested tips that will help any woman when it comes what to wear on a first date.
Don’t stress out about it. YES I know, it’s hard when you’re prepping for a first date not to stress out about it but the longer you spend in a spin over what to wear, the worse that the decision will get.
Don’t be too ambitious. We aren’t suggesting that you give up your favourite statement piece but for a first date, less is most definitely more. We suggest that you go neutral on the first date. Black and white is extremely sexy and team it with a bold red lipstick and you’re staying on the safe side whilst giving off a fun, seductive vibe.
Don’t show too much. You have a great figure and of course you’re going to want to show it off. But on the first date we suggest that you stick to showing off your favourite asset. When it comes down to being sexy then one part is enough.
Dress right for the activity. Ignore the “you should only wear stilettos” brigade and think about what outfit actually suits your date. If you’re doing something physical then you don’t want to be tottering around in heels. And likewise if you’re going for dinner and drinks, you don’t want to feel uncomfortable so make sure that you wear something that will fit in with the place you’re going.
High maintenance isn’t always good. You want to look approachable and sometimes, high maintenance can be totally unapproachable. Think elegant and sexy rather than model like.
Tone down the make up. Before the date practice finding a balance, you don’t want to over do the make up but you also don’t want to under do it either. Wearing too much make up is distracting.
Don’t wear anything that makes you feel like you have to such it all in. Wearing an outfit that’s too tight or too fitted never makes good sense. First dates are uncomfortable enough without you having to wear spanx so tight you can’t breathe or constantly having to suck your stomach in. Wear something that you feel comfortable in and that you can sit down in too.
Hopefully, these tips will help make dressing for your first date a little less stressful. But remember that in the end all that matters is your personality and just being yourself. Do you have any more tips? Come share them with us on Twitter @UrbanSocialCom
