5 Things You Shouldn’t Wear On A First Date

Going on a first date is exciting to say the least but there are certain things you shouldn’t dare to wear on a first date that I would like to share. Of course, the number one rule is to be yourself but first impressions are lasting ones and there are certain things not to wear on a first date that could otherwise leave a lasting impression and not necessarily a good one!

1. Too Short

One of the first #things not to wear on a first date is a super short skirt. Having said that, super short can actually #look quite classy with some opaque tights but if it’s too short and your legs are bare, this is another story.

2. Too Tight

If it’s too tight it can make you #look a little cheap and will make you feel uncomfortable. I don’t know about you but as the evening progresses, my ability (and desire) to breathe in, quickly diminishes and after a dinner and a few drinks, I know I need my sweat pants pronto. Avoid the too-tight-attitre discomfort on a first date by choosing something which isn’t too restrictive and allows you room to breathe easily.

3. Too Sheer

Sheer can look super sexy and classy but it can also #look cheap and tacky. If you want to go a little sheer, wear a camisole or vest top under your sheer top rather than just a bra or nothing. As much as we want to emulate Madonna in her Vogue video, a first date is probably not the best #time to do it.

4. Too Casual

Too casual is another first date no no. If you’re a super casual kinda gal, take this opportunity to dress up a little. It doesn’t have to be a lot, just a little. Jeans can #look smart if they’re teamed with a more dressy top and some heels. Avoid your sweat pants and sneakers on a first date, no matter how gorgeous they are.

5. Too Made up

Although this is certainly not the case when it comes to first date attire, when it comes to make-up, I’m a firm believer that less is more. I know we don’t live in the 50s and our whole lives don’t revolve around impressing the opposite sex, but wearing a little less #makeup will actually make you feel more confident. Make-up should accentuate your natural and beautiful features rather than hide them, so go for a little eye liner, a touch of blush and a lip gloss to make you #look gorgeous and natural.
