5 things not to wear on a first date:

Don’t let your first date attire ruin your
chances for a second date. What you wear is
the perfect opportunity to present who you
are before you say a word. To win your date
over with captivating style, consider the
location, time of day and weather as these
factors will weigh heavily on your attire
choice and stay away from our top five
things you shouldn’t wear on a first date.


1) Don’t Try a new Trend
Reveal the real you, and stick to clothing you
actually wear. “Don’t get in a costume-like
outfit,” says Keylee Sanders, owner of the
successful consulting and styling company
Style Studio and a former Miss Teen USA.
“Dress in something you would wear on a
regular basis because hopefully you’ll see
this person a second date. Stick to your true
style self or fashion self on that first date.”


2) Don’t Reveal too Much
First impressions are quick to be made, hard
to get rid of and set the tone for the entire
date. Ask yourself what your outfit says
about you. There’s a difference between
wanting to look flirty and sexy and leaving
nothing to the imagination. “That doesn’t
mean you need to dress dowdy or frumpy, for
example if you’re going to wear a short skirt,
don’t wear a low cut top,” says the former
beauty queen. A good rule of thumb is to
choose one area of your body you want to
reveal—whether that’s an above the knee
skirt to show off your legs, a subtle scooped
neck blouse to enhance your décolleté or an
off the shoulders sweater to feature a
graceful neckline.


3) Dress for the Situation
Most first dates involve doing something
very casual like grabbing a cup of coffee or a
glass of wine. “Make sure whatever you’re
wearing is true to the situation,” says
Sanders. You don’t want to make your date
feel uncomfortable or intimidated because
you aren’t dressed appropriate for the
occasion. However, as a style caveat, if the
situation allows for it, a man shouldn’t be
afraid to opt for a tie. Although rare, if the
first date is a charity gala, night at the opera
or symphony, or any situation where the
woman would be wearing an evening dress, a
man should don a suit and tie. “It’s safe,
classic and shows a level of maturity,” says
Sanders. “I think men have it so easy, it’s not
rocket science, it [a tie] looks great and is an
easy solution.”


Leave the Sloppy Clothes at Home
Even if your date is outdoors or involves
some kind of physical activity it’s still
important to make an effort, which lets that
person know they’re important. “Don’t throw
on sweats that have been on the floor of your
closet for months and a shirt with a stain
down the front,” warns Sanders. If you don’t
own appropriate outdoor activity gear, for a
small price you can purchase a sleek and
proper outfit at most discount clothing
stores.


Break Away from all Black
Include a splash of color in your outfit. “I
always try and tell women to not wear all
black,” says Sanders. “As women, we love all
black, it’s easy and safe but men like to see
women in color and it’s a great way to show
your personality.” Color, especially in shades
like peach, coral and yellow gives the
impression of a happy, energetic and warm
person—attributes most single people are
looking for in a partner.
