No matter
how much experience we have when it comes to dating one thing never
changes, we are never quite sure what to wear on a first date regardless of the
occasion. While choosing the perfect outfit can be nerve wracking learning what
clothing items you should avoid can make things a lot easier.
Dating
seems to be a game with never ending hidden rules you only begin to
discover as you gain more experience. However, certain misjudgments when
it comes to choosing outfits can lead to some awkward and embarrassing
situations that can be really damaging to one's ego.
Learning to understand
certain key points when it comes to how most guys really think about fashion is
one of the smartest ways in which we can score a few points and impress the guy
we like.
It is not
advisable to wear new clothing items at a first date as there's a high change
you might feel uncomfortable and you will inevitably appear less attractive
than you could be.
Avoid clothes that are
prone to 'accidents' such as low rinse jeans that could make the panty line
visible or blouses with a cleavage that might reveal more than you want to show
at the slightest wrong move.
Uncomfortable clothes
and shoes are another no since they will make you seem insecure and might even
give the impression that you are trying too hard.
Harem pants
You might know that
harem pants are highly fashionable and stylish but harem pants are one of
those trends guys just don't get. Since they will most likely do very
little to flatter your lower body half it's best to leave them at home and
to wear them on other occasions.
Overalls
It is not advisable to
go for baggy denim overalls or loose fitting jumpsuits. The main reason
you might want to avoid this clothing item is that it might make your date to
believe that you have not put to much effort in creating an outfit.
Aside from
not doing too much to highlight your features, jumpsuits are harder to wear
than it might seem at a first glance and only flatter certain specific body
types.
Knitwear and frills
Think twice before
making knitted item part of your date outfit. If we are truly honest with
ourselves we will admit that these items are more appropriate for a ski trip
than as a day to day wear and most guys seem to share this opinion as well.
As
far as frills are concerned the less is more rule applies wholeheartedly. Keep
frills at a bare minimum to avoid looking unflattering.
Dramatic oversized jewelry
Most guys are trying
to get an overall idea of your general signature style and are less interested
in your knowledge about the latest fashion trends.
Although oversized jewelry
can be great when you are trying to make a fashion statement, it can be seen as
too much, especially if it tends to make various noises as you move along
drawing unwanted attention.
Killer heals and tight shorts
Most outfits involving
shorts and high heels are probably ones that will be too revealing. While it
can be tempting to wear revealing clothes that show off your body it's
important not to go to extremes. That doesn't mean that you have to go for long
skirts or office style clothing. It simply means that you have to maintain a
proper balance and to avoid giving the impression that your outfit is
unfinished.
Overly flashy items
Outfits that combine
too many glitter and strong colors will most likely be a turn off. While
wearing sequined clothing is not necessarily a bad idea, especially if the
style of the date encourages this type of outfit moderation is crucial. Also
make sure to create a proper balance between colors to be able to create a sexy
yet tasteful outfit.
Make
sure you ask your date what he is planning on wearing to be able to choose
something similar so the two of you don't look awkward together.
While the
place you plan on going often offers valuable clues as to what the dress code
should be, sometimes to persons have very different interpretations as to what
these rules are and how they should be applied.
