First dates,
They can be exciting, nerve wracking, and everything in between. You definitely want to look your best, but the pressure to impress can have you self conscious, and lead to total outfit overwhelm. But don’t trip! This guide is here to help! Get ready to navigate the wonderful (and sometimes scary) world of first-date dressing, all without the stress.
Know the Vibes: Casual or Cocktail?
Understanding the vibe is the key to bodying your first date outfit. Is it just a casual coffee date or, is it that restaurant with the cheesecake? Understanding the environment will make choosing your outfit easier and ensure you feel confident and relaxed.
Casual Date:
Think "effortlessly fashionable". Combine a pair of dark jeans, a fitted blouse, and a cute pair of boots to create a relaxed yet put-together outfit. Now grab a necklace or a stylish handbag to polish the look.
Dinner Date:
Must be giving dinner-date Diva! Grab that dress that flatters your figure. Want to accentuating your curves with a wrap dress? Or maybe a sheath dress that exudes timeless elegance. Don't be afraid to experiment with different colors or patterns either, but keep the overall look balanced.
Drinks or Theater Date:
Dress comfortable yet stylish for a bar or theater date. A bodysuit could definitely be the play, while a skirt and sweater combo would be a cute layered look. Then simply boss up your look with heels and flashy earrings.
Dress for Confidence, Not for Trends!
Looking trendy is always a plus, but it's more important to feel confident in what you're wearing. Choose a look that will flatter your body type and also highlight your best features. A great way to achieve this is to focus on outfits that accentuate your natural waistline.
