First date fashion
May 23, 2008
Whether you’ve been single for a while or just getting back into the game, a first date is exciting. While you may be anxiously waiting your night out, you may be getting a little nervous as well. One of the biggest issues for a first day is deciding what to wear.
Oftentimes you start planning an outfit days in advance only to find that that you hate what you picked out. If spending hours in front of the mirror deciding between a skirt and pants, heels and flats, and black and blue, is not your idea of a good time, you’re not alone. Here are some tips to help you decide how to dress as well as how to do your hair and makeup for different types of dates.
Things to remember for first date fashion
Do dress for the activity. Ask him in advance where you are going. You need to be prepared when selecting the right attire. You don’t want to show up in your little black dress for the 50-yard line. Do go casual for the movies in your favorite-fit jeans and a trendy but comfy top. If dinner is on the agenda, wear a flattering dress. When hitting the clubs, do a dressy tank to keep you cool on the dance floor. Do be confident in your ensemble for first date fashion. The best way to showcase your beautiful self is to feel good in your clothes. Trust me, he’ll notice.
Don’t be too sexy for first date fashion. I know you want to show off your assets but keep him guessing! This is only the first date. You don’t need to pull out the too-low-cut-skin-tight-top. He doesn’t need to know all of you yet. Don’t wear a mini for first date fashion. If you didn’t get it in the first don’t…. absolutely under no circumstances rock a mini skirt on your date. Do you want to step out of the car like Britney? Check the gossip pages if you need a visual.
Makeup for first date fashion
Daytime first date fashion: Keep your makeup to a minimum. Unless you always wear a ton of makeup, don’t overdo it for a day date where you’re most likely going to be in brightly lit places. Save the smoky eyes and blood red lipstick for a special nighttime occasion.
Outdoors first date fashion: Keep in mind that outdoors dates may be more physically taxing. Going for a walk; running around, or being out in the elements can easily turn pretty eyelashes into embarrassing black streaks running down your cheeks. Choose makeup that will stay on and won’t smudge. Again, you’ll want to stay away from tons of eye makeup and bold lip sticks. The goal here is to go for look playful not like a diva.
Casual Nighttime first date fashion: When applying your makeup, you can be more liberal for evening dates than you are for daytime engagements. This means you can break out the eyeliner and go a little darker with your lipstick and eye shadow. Even though you’re going out during the evening, don’t overdo it.
