Dressing Tips For First Date

If you will put on your best dress it will make her feel like she is worth it; you surely do not want to lose a chance to make her feel that way.
If it is a casual date and you have asked her out to a pub or cafe or to a sporting event or, then dress up accordingly. The occasion demands for an outdoorsy outfit but yet not too casual or shoddy. You still have to look smart and interesting. Please stay away from the dangers of outdated fashion. Wear the smart stuff that is in vogue. Remember––no sweatpants or athletic pants, you are not going for a jog with her! Wear smart jeans and a nice short-sleeved collared shirt. You can try a sports jacket on the top of it. Couple it up with a nice leather belt and a sexy wrist watch and you are good to go! If it is sunny then do not forget the pair of sunglasses that brings out your jaw-line.
If you are setting off for an urban setting dinner date then dress up like you are going to see the president! No slackness will go unnoticed! Suit-up like a man and bring out the gallant gentleman in you. Clooney will be the right inspiration at this point! Bring out your favorite suit, you may or may not wear a tie or bowtie, depending on the demand of the place where you are going to. If you are going to a high-end theatre then a bowtie will be an icing on the cake. Otherwise a semi-casual sleek cut suit is what we will put our ten bucks on! You can pull back your hair with a good amount of gel and go clean shaven. The idea is to look like a gentleman without dramatizing it.

For Women
