As we know from experience, picking a date outfit is one of those high-pressure situations that lends itself to misguided fashion choices.
A sequin maxi skirt will draw him to me like a magpie right? Nope. The more red lipstick I slick on, the more he’ll notice my kissable lips right? Absolutely not.
There’s so much emotion wrapped up in the occasion, that it helps to have some clear-headed ground rules for your outfit.
#1:
“Don’t let your accessories overwhelm. Who doesn’t love an elbow-reaching stack of bangles, but when your date can’t hear you over the clanking on your arm, you know you’ve piled on too many.”
#2:
“Do add a bit of glamour to your look by picking a key statement piece. Try an embellished clutch, a chunky necklace, or some killer (not literally) stilettos."
#3:
“Do choose a shoe you’re comfortable in—test-driving a new pair can spell disaster if a moonlit stroll is suggested. Date night is not the time for a pirate-y limp.”
#4:
“Don’t be afraid to show a little unexpected skin. Pair a low-back top with skinny jeans, or a blousy crop top with a high-waisted pencil skirt. Don't overexpose. Whether it’s accidental or not, nothing good comes from flashing your lady bits.”
#5:
“Don't assume your fab LBD is the perfect date night go-to. Is it a fancy dinner or a football game? Knowing your surroundings, and dressing appropriately can go a long way to making the date more comfortable for you and your beau.”
#6:
“Do find balance. Over-the-top-trends are awesome in magazines, but can be far from wearable in real life. Take your favorite of-the-moment style, and make it right for you.”
