First dates are always both exciting and daunting. As much as everyone loves the excitement, there is so much that gets us nervous, especially when deciding how to dress for your first date. Whether you’re going for a formal dinner date or a chill movie date, you want to impress your date. To help calm your nerves and choose the perfect outfit for your date, we have decoded some important tips.

Here’s how to choose what to wear to your first date:

Be Comfortable and Don’t Try Too Hard to Look Like Someone Else

Comfort is the most important thing to consider while choosing your outfit. No one finds it flattering if you’re constantly fixing your dress or fidgeting with your jewelry.

While everyone wants to present their best version on the first date, it’s important to look and feel like yourself. Choose something that feels like a second skin to you, something that you can comfortably sit in for hours.

Consider the Weather and Location Before Choosing What to Wear to Your First Date

The only way you can be absolutely comfortable is if you dress for your first date appropriately. Have all the details sorted like the location, weather and the nature of the date and pick the perfect dress for it.

If it’s a fancy indoor dinner date, you can opt for a formal dress. If it’s an outdoor scene, go for something warmer like high waist pants and jacket. In case your date insists on surprising you, choose an outfit that’ll make you feel comfortable in  any situation.

Choose Options That are Versatile and can be Transformed From Desk to Dinner

The last thing you need on your first date is look like you’ve just got off work. Plan ahead and wear something that is appropriate for work, but also fun for a date. This will save you time while making it seem like you put in effort.

You can choose a simple A-line dress with a jacket that you can accessories after work to transform it into a cute dress for your first date. You can also wear jeans and a semi-formal blouse for a chill day at work and a relaxing date.

Go Moderate With Your Makeup and Accessories

Since it’s your first date, don’t go overboard your look. The perfect way to dress for the first date would be to strike a balance between too much and too little. You don’t want to put in too much effort, but also look well cleaned up.

Go for nude makeup that helps enhance your features. For a fun look, you can go for a no makeup makeup look with red lips, As for the accessories, a dainty necklace and a statement watch should be enough, but if you feel like dressing up a little more, layer some dainty necklaces or go for statement hoop earrings.

When in Doubt, go for Classics Like Denim or a Little Black Dress

 Keeping so many things in mind while dealing with the anxiety of a first date can be a tough task. If you’re someone who’s always confused about what to wear and don’t want to spend too much time thinking about it, go for a classic choice.

A well fitted pair of jeans, a denim or a leather jacket or an LBD are some of the safest classic choices that you can never go wrong with. Just pick your favorite LBD or your most flattering pair of jeans, accessorize it well and you’re set to go!
