When you finally summon up all your courage and ask your crush out, you want to impress that special lady and leave a lasting memory on her. In order to do that, you probably should be putting more effort in your outfit because when a woman is going on a first date with a man, they would first take note of the way the man dress himself up. After all, she is still searching for clues about your personality.
With only a few hours to spend together, how you dress could deliver the most accurate clue to her. A good first impression always counts for extra. That is why dressing sharp and in-style on your first date is important.
But the thing is, how? Don’t worry, we got you! Here is a guide on how to dress to impress her on your casual first date. Let it be a romantic and stylish one.
1. Be casual
When you said it is a casual date, stick to the dress code. Go for a plain T-shirt or button-down shirt and pair it with a pair of jeans or casual pants. Remember, wear jeans that really fit you instead of sagging jeans. You don’t want to show her your underwear. You may also add a layering piece like a jacket or coat to look more fashionable. But try not to wear shorts on your first date, unless you are going hiking or outdoor activities.
2. Wear a nice pair of shoes
Your choice of footwear speaks for your taste in styling. To a woman, the choice of shoes pretty much tells everything about a man. When you are on a casual date, you may opt for canvas sneakers. Make sure they are clean and not your old tattered sneakers. If in doubt, it is always best to go for dressier shoes or shoes that are as simple as possible. But whatever you are going to wear, make sure they are clean and comfortable.
To present your best self to her, remember the DON’Ts
(A) No super bright colours
Instead of highly visible colours like bright red, bright orange, bright blue or bright greens, you should put lower saturation colours on you. For example, light blue, dark blue, dark green, grey, white or black.
(B) Not too colourful
If you are not really good at matching outfits or colours, this could be very risky because you might end up looking like a Christmas tree.
(C) Don’t wear any accessories as you like
If you want to wear any accessories, keep it to a minimum. Stick to a classic watch or something simple.
(D) Don’t wear a worn or faded T-shirt
It is your first date, try showing up with something better, maybe?
(E) Don’t wear slippers or sandals
Seriously? How is this an option? Unless you are dating at a beach, please wear proper shoes. That is a way of showing your respect to her too.
(F) Don’t wear your company or school club uniform
You do not have to wear a highly expensive shirt, but a uniform is never a good choice.
Men’s outfit may seem simple, but matching it to look stylish is not easy at all.
Follow this short guide on how to do that and impress her on your first date! But of course, everyone has different taste and tolerance on what is okay or not okay to wear on a date. At the end of the day, it depends on whether she will accept your style. Anyway, we wish you the best of luck in your budding relationship!
