Do you know what they say about first impressions? "They tend to last long". It's your first date with someone and you looking for ways to keep the attraction and chemistry alive, here is a guide on "what not to wear on a first date''.
In determining what to wear for a first date, one thing to put into consideration is "The Venue''. You'll agree that outfits for a date in the cinemas are totally different from outfits for a date in a restaurant. This article is a general guide on how to dress for a date.
In picking what to wear for a date, you probably would want to impress your date but do not go beyond yourself and budget, make the date special but don't overly try to impress your date. Be the best version of yourself.
I am no relationship or dating expert, but one thing I am confident and enthusiastic about is style and beauty. So Let me be your first date guide 😊
Looking Unapproachable
Here is a quick story,
"A guy and a lady met on an online dating platform and got talking. Things were going smoothly between them and eventually, they decided it was time for a physical date between them.
On the day of the date, the guy got to the venue earlier than the lady, the girl came in and on seeing the guy from a distance looking badly dressed, she made a U-turn and headed back home"
You must be wondering what happened next, well I also don't know😄, the moral of the story is look sweet and approachable on your first date.
Do not wear too high heels
Okay, girl
You do not have to wear too high heels for a date, even if you can comfortably move on high heels you still need to keep things a bit moderate, a medium heeled or low-heeled would be perfect for any date in any venue.
Avoid Distracting Prints
In picking what to wear for a first date "Moderacy" should be your watchword.
First dates are mostly intended to get a much deeper connection with your date, wearing distracting prints might just draw your date's attention away from you, so keep things simple.
Do not apply too much make-up
Still on the issue of "Moderacy". Applying too much make-up on your first date can be a major turn-off for your date. Look cute and attractive, but still, keep the foundation and make-up layers moderate.
Avoid too Tight Clothing
You need to be able to relax, feel comfortable on your date, and not frequently have to adjust your clothing. I would love to share a funny story, but let me keep it for another time. In summary, you won't want any unnecessary drama on your first date so keep your dress simple.
Other things to consider not to wear on your first date are;
Do not wear something you always wear frequently
Avoid Dressing for the wrong type of Date
Do not use too much perfume
Avoid Noisy Jewellery
Be Original!
I hope that these tips make dressing for your first date less stressful.
Do not forget that in the end, you are meant to have fun and enjoy your date.
So wear what makes you feel good and original. With the right attitude, you can pull off anything. Have fun!
