With this little advice, ladies will never
have to worry about What to wear before the big night again. There are
so many things to be concerned about before heading out on a first date
like where to go, what to talk about, what not to talk about, etc. And
yet, the number one question we ladies always ask when are about to meet
someone for the first time is “What do I wear?”.
It may seem shallow, but how you dress on a first date is pretty
important. The reality is, if your date isn’t into the way you look, you
might not get the chance to get beyond initial attractions to show how
truly great you are; and secure a second date. To make sure you present
yourself in the best light, follow these tips for the perfect first date
outfit:
2. Another thing to consider when picking outfits for a first date is
comfort. LADIES YOU HAVE TO BE COMFORTABLE!! I am actually talking out
of experience. I went for a date (actually first date-and i really liked
the lad) in a heel i purchased and had never worn. The heel was
beautiful but was really painful to wear. But at the time, I just
considered its beauty and how perfectly it’ll go with my dress. On the
entire date, i had a gruesome face and was so uncomfortable (i nearly
cried). Until recently, the lad thought i was just an angry person. You
don’t want to go for a date having my face or even worse. Some get so
uncomfortable, they have no composure and fidget through out their date
(a story i’ll save for another day). So ladies please choose outfits
that are a perfect fit and has 0-5% discomfort!
3. Wear makeup but don't exaggerate, most guys
hate that. For eyes, which are most important, mascara and eyeliner/eye
pencil work best. You can play a little with the colors, but black looks
most classic. The whole point of make-up is to make you look better and
hide the things you don’t like, so if you want more attention on your
lips don’t over-exaggerate on your eyes and so on. Don’t put an inch of
foundation on your face, and make sure you put the make-up on after
everything, and fifteen minutes before you leave the door so it has time
to dry. You want to feel good about yourself and most importantly look
good to attract his attention so don’t do too much (else you look too
needy-and might scare him off). Some of you ladies prefer nothing at all
so kudos (and totally ignore this step).
4. Hygiene ladies, hygiene! Please and please again don’t go out on a
date smelling like a bunch of dead rats. Looking good is as important
as smelling good. Shave, bath, brush and floss your teeth, and mouthwash
right before you leave. Wash your hands and feet carefully in the
shower, shampoo your hair, apply deodorant and put it in your bag. Also
put on a minimal amount of perfume; guys hate when you wear too much
perfume but a little on the wrists and neck is fine. Try a VS perfume.
Roll on also works quite well. Go for something more orange or vanilla
scented. The entire motive is to smell fresh and nice so don’t overdo it
on the scents.
5. Carry along a statement piece that screams you. Of course this
depends what you’re wearing and where you’re going but a little
accessory never hurt anybody. Accessorize to bring out your personal
style since the date is all about getting to know each other. It could
be a jewellery, a pair of sunglasses, purse or handbag (basically
anything that makes you, you!). Make sure you match it to the outfit,
and that it doesn’t look like you went to buy it all with one cedi.
