First Date Outfit Rules 

One thing to keep in mind when going on your first date is dressing in according to the venue or place the date will take place. You don’t want to dress like you’re going to prom if your date is going to take you on a picnic. 

Image 1 – A picnic is a very easy going first date, but that doesn’t mean your outfit should be as easy going. Refrain from wearing all white when it comes to your bottoms because depending where you’re picnicking – grass, beach, gravel, etc. it may get dirty. So opt for pastel or darker colors. Wearing a maxi skirt with tank top or a long dress is a good option as it will allow you to be comfortable and make sure there are no unwanted exposures in public. 

Image 2 – If you and your date decide to have the first date at a bar, you can dress in darker colours. If it’s going to be a chilly night wear tights, fitted ankle pants, or long fitted skirts. Pair it up with a long sleeve lace top and high heels to complete the outfit. 

Image 3 – For a date at a nice restaurant you can dress more elegantly. Wear colors that are soft on the eye, but still classy- like a complete nude and blush ensemble. Stay away from wearing anything that shows too much skin as its not the best look for a sit down meal.

Image 4 – If you find a date who wants to go on hiking date don’t be afraid to show your outdoorsy side. Wear clothes that are comfortable and appropriate like sportswear, jeans, utility jackets/parkas and t-shirts. Wear  your most comfortable footwear and don’t forget a hat if its sunny!

The first date shouldn’t be scary – just be yourself and don’t forget to dress to impress!
