Style Tips for: Date Night

I think we have all been in that predicament where a guy has finally picked up the courage to ask you out on a date we then casually reply "Sure,Yeah why not", then when it comes to the date night we have the realisation of what we have actually signed up for. Then the overthinking, panic and endless flow of questions hits us, "What do I wear?", "I have no clothes!," "I am NOT going on this date!", "I didn't want a boyfriend anyway!", "Why did I agree to this stupid date?", "I am content being lonely and watching Netflix on my own", "I don't need a man, I am a strong, independent woman!",(I think you get the message).

After maybe a ten minute break down we decide to pick up the phone and call one of the girls for style advice and maybe to calm down the nerves in which they pretty much force you verbally/mentally to go on the date and stop acting a fool using the exact lines of "You can't be a Nun forever". So we pick up the courage (Dutch Courage i.e a glass of wine)and rade the wardrobe.

So what should you wear on a date? I am not a dating expert but I think one thing I get right is first dates seeing that 2 out of 3 Boyfriends pretty much made me their girlfriend after the first date! Some may think that what you wear on a first date doesn't matter, these people are probably still single!Do not listen to them.Of course it matters its just like a job interview you are judged on your appearance and how you present yourself. Do you really think this guy is going to think ,"This girl is Girlfriend or even Wifey material" if you show up to your date in your PJ's, Tracksuit, Hair unbrushed, no make-up on or even just basic clothes, basically looking like you really don't care?NO! First impressions is everything and how you present yourself will increase your chances in this guy finding you attractive and even a second date and lets face it thats what you want at the end of the day if not then why did you agree to the date in the first place.

My advice to a first date outfit is find out the location and activity of the date. If its a surprise date then keep it smart/casual meaning skinny jeans, nice top and heels. Do not over do it in wearing a bodycon dress! I would give any dress,mini skirts, mini shorts, lycra,latex,sheer,lace,low-cut tops and bodies a miss on the first date. It implies your trying to hard to impress. Anything that is too sexy cross off,you want to leave something to the imagination and you want to look tasteful and classy someone that he can take home to meet his family (GF material).

Always wear heels on your dates,your a lady so dress like one trainers and flats are a no and men are sexually attracted to heels (FACT).Heels also dress up any outfit even if you are dressed in just jeans and a top!
