Tips for men: What to wear on a first date and why it matters
Dating advice tends to focus on how you should act but fashion advice tends to be geared towards women more than men however both genders should pay attention to their behavior and looks. A first date is a nervous and exciting event and it can be easy for something to go wrong. You have no control over what will happen but you can control whether or not you make a good first impression by coming across presentable.
First you need to understand why what you wear matters. The first thing people notice about you is your clothes and they’ll make judgments about you based on them. If you go around in clothes that are baggy or look faded then people are going to assume that you don’t care about your appearance and that you’re a slob. If you go around in a dress shirt and trousers than people are going to think that you have pride in your appearance. You want to make women think that you have standards and that you’re the type of man they want to be with. It will also make her feel good if it looks like you made an effort to look good for her and that will increase your chances of getting a second date.
You need to dress appropriately for where you’re going on the date so think about what other people will be wearing there. If you’re not sure then err on the side of caution and dress nicely because it’s better to be over dressed than showing up looking like you just threw on anything. A dress shirt and trousers are always a good outfit to wear and will be suitable for most occasions. Make sure you iron them because you don’t want them to look wrinkled and this will make them look clean and fresh. Women notice details so make sure your shoes are clean and wear an accessory like a watch. It’s important that the overall look is attractive.
The worst thing you can wear is something trendy because it looks like you’re trying too hard to impress her or fit in. You also want to avoid anything that has brand names written over it because that looks like you’re showing off. It’s better to go for a classic look in neutral colors because these types of clothes are always appropriate. White, black and navy blue are great neutral colors that look good on most people so stick to them. A white dress shirt and black trousers is a simple look that will be more appealing than a red shirt with denim jeans. Going for a basic look will make you seem put together and won’t distract her from your personality.
When you’re getting ready for a perfect date the best dating advice you can get is that what you wear matters so take time to choose an outfit. You want to show her that you care about yourself and that you made an effort to look nice for your date. Keep your outfit simple but nice looking by going for trousers and dress shirts and stick to neutral colors so you don’t look out of place. Don’t forget small things like a belt or watch to add detail to your outfit and make sure that you dress appropriate for where you’re taking her. You want to make a good impression and your clothes will be the first thing she notices so make sure you give your appearance some attention.
