Five Date Outfit No No’s!
So Friday night you have a hot date, you’ve been chatting for a while online and it’s all going great – but now it’s finally time to meet face to face and you need to make a great first impression…so what are you going to wear?
There’s that great neon peplum dress you bought last week – two summer trends ticked and a colour that’s guaranteed to make you stand out from the crowd? Or a cute LBD (Little black dress) with the asymmetric hem? You really can’t argue with classic with a modern twist….or can you? You might be surprised about some of the clothing choices we make that guys simply cannot stand, to help you out we chatted to some guys to see which items were their top 5 serial offenders: –
Ultra high heels – how sexy can you possibly be when every third step your ankle buckles or even worse – you do a comedy stumble off the curb? Not just that but a whiny date isn’t much fun for any person of any gender, and painful shoes can take down the very best of strong women!
Hareem Pants – If an item of clothing makes you appear to be emulating MC Hammer…or even worse a baby who has filled its nappy, please think twice. Put down the baggies and pick up your trusty skinny jeans.
High Waisted Shorts – A summer staple for most girls – championed by festival royalty such as Kate Moss and Vanessa Hugdens (usually worn with a flower headband and something with fringing) “They remind me of the jeans my mom wore in the 80’s” was the most common response – and no, that wasn’t meant to be a good thing!
Couture – It may be pretty high on a lot of women’s wish list but owning an item of clothing that cost more than the average family car is going to send your average man running in the opposite direction…why? Because it screams high maintenance, so put the Chanel down and back away.
High Heeled Trainers – Some men love a woman in heels, its classic and it’s sexy. Some men love a woman in trainers and no makeup…unfortunately combining the two is not going to attract both types of men, it’s going to attract neither!
The general consensus from our panel of guys is that simple is best, skinny jeans and a t shirt or vest is always going to be a first date winner, its simple but effective and it shows off your natural curves. But do steer clear of slogan tees with messages like “you can’t sit with us” or “out of your league” emblazoned across the front…coming across as a mean girl will never be attractive.
