Probably, few girls know that there is a special dress code for a first date. It would seem so absurd to specifically select an outfit for a meeting with a potential soul mate. But, be that as it may, one should not deny that men still love with their eyes. It is we, women, who already know in the first three minutes whether we want to see this young man again, but for males everything is not so clear. He can evaluate you even for several hours, but the way you are dressed still plays one of the significant roles.
So, the time and place of the meeting have been chosen, all matters are postponed, hair and makeup are thought out to the smallest detail. But what to wear so that the first date does not become the last? Let's think about it.
Rule No. 1 - Only proven items
You shouldn’t experiment and wear a floor-length silk dress if you were completely indifferent to this outfit before. You need to choose only those clothes in which you feel confident and comfortable.It’s clear that a first date is a very exciting event, so choosing an image that is unusual for yourself will add a couple more points to your anxiety. It is quite possible that all evening you will only think about how you look and be completely distracted from the process of communication itself.
In addition, when buying something new and unusual for you, you will not be able to predict in advance how the thing will behave in real life. Most likely, you will feel very uncomfortable and unusual, and this will directly affect your self-confidence and calmness.
Rule #2 - Don't overdo it!
There should be nothing in the image that can be called too much! No too mini or maxi, too tight or, on the contrary, loose, too vulgar or too modest. You need to follow the rule of the golden mean and not go to extremes. And also, you shouldn’t hang all the available accessories on yourself at once. Remember: what is trendy and super fashionable for you is usually perceived indifferently by men.
This rule applies not only to clothing, but also to makeup, hairstyle, and shoes. Everyone knows that our boys are always for naturalness, and therefore leave the glitter and sequins in their hair for some other occasion.
For a first date, it is better to choose nude clothes that suit your figure, the same discreet makeup and familiar hairstyle. Let it be cute curls or a strict hairstyle - you shouldn’t experiment and create complex and fantasy ideas on your head.
Rule No. 3 - Strengths - emphasize, disadvantages - hide
We all know our weak points, and therefore correctly selected styles and shades of clothing can easily hide small flaws and emphasize our strengths.In general, according to stylists, the color scheme of the chosen outfit plays an important role. It can refresh the face, highlight the type and even make the eyes glow.
If red suits you perfectly, then you shouldn’t refuse it, even considering the fact that it is considered a provocative shade. But it’s still better to give preference to a simple blouse, preferably opaque, with a minimal cutout in the neckline.
Rule #4 - Don’t open everything at once!
In an attempt to seduce a man on the first date, you will undoubtedly win if you expose all your most prominent parts. However, most likely, this is where your communication will end. When choosing an outfit for the evening, remember that a woman should always have some mystery, mystery, and intrigue. Of course, you can leave something open (for example, unbutton the top button on a blouse), but let it be “slightly open” and not completely exposed, so that your underwear is also visible - immediately push this idea to hell.
What should you give up?
- extreme mini;
- neckline too deep;
- completely open back;
- long neckline on the skirt (or dress) to the hip;
- fishnet tights.
Of course, on the first date you should look impressive and charming, but by focusing on sexual overtones, you expose yourself to risk: men, whatever one may say, are predators by nature, and prefer a certain kind of mystery rather than an open and provocative message.
Rule No. 5 - Where, when, with whom
A very simple 3K formula - where, when, with whom. She will be the one who will help you decide how to dress for the first date.By answering all three questions, you can easily decide on the image.
If it's a late dinner in a great restaurant - a cocktail dress and stiletto heels. A country picnic or cafe - something simple and convenient. A walk in the park—jeans and golf socks will do just fine. It is important to understand the situation, and then the idea will appear in your head on its own.
The time of the meeting also plays an important role. If it's daytime, then, of course, casual style will be more appropriate than ever. For a rendezvous after 21:00, the makeup can be a little more accentuated, and the clothes a little more elegant.
If your date decides to surprise you and does not tell you the meeting place, be sure to ask what format of the date awaits you. Otherwise, don't be nervous if you have to wear chinos and sneakers to the theater.
Rule #6 - You must like yourself!
In such an exciting bustle, you will certainly want to wear only your best. Dresses from the latest collections, furs, shining sparkles and sequins, trendy outfits come out of the closet. But in an attempt to look the best on the first date, a girl may forget that, first of all, she must please herself.
Even if you put on only the best clothes from your wardrobe, but the reflection in the mirror does not please you, it is unlikely that you will arouse the sympathy of a man. Don't leave home until you love what you see. You will look perfect only when you choose the optimal look - not deliberately “on parade”, but sophisticated, feminine and romantic.
Rule No. 7 - Stockings and beautiful underwear are required
In no case does this mean that you are going to demonstrate it - everything has its time.But psychologists have long proven that such things (even if no one except you knows or sees them) add sexuality and charm to a girl. Even our sense of self changes by 180°, and it is not the stockings that are responsible for this, but our reflexes. We can say that this is a unique way to maximize femininity and seductiveness.
