We all know the nervous feeling that accompanies every first date. And especially first date fashion. It’s not always worry about how we’re to be perceived, but how the other person is. It might be that someone who came across very well on the night you met them or online has very little interpersonal skills. It might also mean that the dynamics are simply not right. Or that they have different ideas for the intent of the date than you do. However, it could also be that the person you’re to have a date with tonight will become the love of your life! All is possible in these moments. No wonder you’re nervous!
However, there are ways around this. One of them is to look your absolute best. This is not to completely impress the individual (although it is in part) but to feel like you are completely worth it. After all, how can you come across as magnetic to another person if you’re not comfortable in yourself? At the very least, if the date goes wrong or something strange happens, you will likely be more conscious and competent of your self-worth, and not overthink or worry about everything you did wrong.
Here is a guide to help you choose the best first date fashion and feel confident, most for yourself but in small part for the success of the date:
What Works & What Doesn’t with First Date Fashion
Minimal is the way to go
While it might be tempting to dazzle the person in front of you, it can be more of a wholesome opportunity to dress in an understated manner. This shows the real you, not someone buried in too much makeup or eccentric outfits. Lighter, less offensive colours can also show you are approachable and welcoming.
Too formal and you might seem quite intensely interested. While, smart and casual can make you feel just the right amount of alluring. We’d recommend whatever colour works for you, but a light cream blazer and smart blouse can come together well. It also prevents you from showing too much skin. You may desire to look super sexy on one of the progressive dates, but on the first it can come across as too suggestive. However, feel free to apply what makes you feel confident within those minimal parameters. For example, some strong coloured lipstick or a bright watch can serve as a focal piece that takes nothing away or clashes with the rest of your outfit.
Enhance your beauty in more natural ways
Of course, you want to look your best. You may consider that winged eyeliner and all other host of clever makeup tricks might do this. But do they really? Or do they take away from your natural beauty? You can certainly fulfil this need to enhance your beauty through far more subtle means.
For example, using Pearly Whites to whiten your teeth can make for a radiant smile. Also, having your nails manicured in the morning with a subtle yet powerful colour can really tie the beauty of your hands with the jewellery you wear. Enhancing is all about small, subtle improvements that make a big impact. And give your entire appearance a pulled together look., too. There’s nothing better than looking gorgeous yet as if you aren’t trying to look gorgeous. It’s hard to manage, but with this in mind, it should be achievable.
With these tips, you can be sure that dressing your best rewards you with a sense of inner worth, no matter how your first date goes. He or she will be lucky to have you. And with these first date fashion tips, you’ll be feeling confident whether it goes well or not.
