Here are some of the outfits you should consider depending on the date you are going on.
First Date – The Best Version of Yourself
When you are heading out on a first date, you need to make sure that you are dressed properly. Even if you are going on a first date with a friend, testing the waters to see if there is something more, there is no excuse for dressing shabbily. You want to present the best possible version of yourself.
Depending on the activity plan for the date, this might mean different outfits. Dinner somewhere nice could require smart trousers and a shirt. A casual cup of coffee or a visit to a museum could mean your favourite casual outfit. Wear clothes that are not falling apart, are suitable for the activity at hand, and give you the most comfort possible.
Third Date – Casual but Classy
So, you have made it to the mythical third date. This is often a sign that things are beginning to get a little bit more serious. However, the dates are probably getting a bit more casual. Even if you wear casual clothes to your first date, you can still dress to impress on the third date. The right pair of men’s skinny jeans from a brand like EDWIN will look great paired with a jumper or the right shirt. Cheap jeans can often be spotted a mile away and aren’t worth the investment as you always end up replacing them, which is exactly why you should treat yourself to a pair of designer jeans. Take a look at the range on EDWIN and find a pair that you know will make you look classy on your date.
You might even dress more like you actually do at this point. Don’t be afraid to let other parts of your dress personality come through. If you like graphic tees, this might be the time to dig them out and start wearing them again.
Meet the Parents – First Date Round 2
You have got to the stage where you are ready to meet your other half’s parents. Think back to what you wore for your first date; you probably want to emulate something similar. What circumstances will you be meeting them in? If it is a nice dinner then you definitely want to dress up well.
Many people meet their partner’s parents at big family events like Christmas or a family wedding. Obviously, a wedding will have a formal dress code so it is fairly easy to plan a sharp suit. Christmas, however, can be a slightly more difficult affair. Make sure you find out whether your partner’s family dresses up for Christmas or keeps things comfortable so you are not caught out on the day.
Park Date – Layer Up
Going to a park for a picnic is a cute date idea but there are plenty of things which can go wrong with it. The first and most obvious one is that the weather might turn on you. One of the easiest ways to prepare for this is to layer up your clothes. It is easier than you might think to throw together a good-looking outfit consisting of lots of layers. You can stay warm no matter what, and you might also be able to pass over a coat to your date if things turn colder.
Exploration Date – Smart but Comfy
No matter what you are exploring, whether it is your local city, somewhere new, or a museum, you are likely to spend a lot of time on your feet for this date. Therefore, you need to make sure that you are wearing something which you don’t mind hanging around in for long periods of time.
One of the key parts of this outfit is going to be what you wear on your feet. Trainers are always going to be the comfiest option but they might clash with the rest of your outfit. Therefore, you need to make sure that you are wearing shoes which are going to fit you well. A good pair of canvas shoes is always going to be a good idea. No matter what shoes you choose, make sure that they fit well and are not going to rub your feet too much.
Don’t Be Someone You are Not
No matter what sort of date you are heading out on, the most important thing you can do is ensure that you are not dressing like someone you are not. Even the most casual dresser can smarten up a little bit for a date without sacrificing who they actually are. By finding a set of clothes which you always feel good in no matter what the occasion, you can use them to help you wow your date. Find the right outfit to build up your confidence and you may find that your date runs a little more smoothly.
