We're all victims of grand fashion conspiracy: how else can one explain the popularity and proliferation of makeover and style reality TV shows? All this unsolicited, 24/7 fashion advice has us doubting our wardrobes and our fashion ability to get dressed on that all-important event: First Date.
1.
Don't wear your closet.
Do not layer your favorite shirt with another favorite shirt and cover yourself with ropes and ropes of your favorite accessories.
It's great to look your best but that doesn't mean that you have to wear your entire wardrobe.
Also, don't show up in clothes that will make you look like twisted, wrapped or tied up.
This will confuse the guy into focusing too much on your clothing rather than on you.
Besides, you're just trying to win the guy on your first date, not "Project Runway.
" 2.
Flaunt your best asset, but not all at once.
A thigh high skirt should not compete with your plunging neckline.
The less you show on your first date, the more you'll reveal for later.
Since you'll be sitting down most of the evening, focus on looking your best above the waist - save your bottom half your later (wink)! Present a pretty picture of yourself, be his eye candy for the night.
Also, choose something that best fit you, do not think about the dress' size but rather think about your comfort and how the dress looks - it's not as if the guy would investigate your dress size when the night is over.
3.
Don't wear black.
I know black slims you down and you look sophisticated in black.
But, it's dark enough in clubs, restaurant and movie theaters - also, there will be a lot of women in black you'll probably blend in the crowd.
Your mission is to be seen and stand out, not be a chameleon.
Besides, an unofficial poll of single men finds black totally desperate and boring.
So, for your first date, embrace color.
Not that you have to dress in Technicolor or neon splash, but a little hue will bring out your eyes or your smile.
Men love red - from cherry tomato to fire engine to raspberry rich red.
Sophistication and sensuality demand that you choose a shade appropriate for your skin tone.
You can adopt a signature shade that's rich to get you up close and personal with your guy.
Dressing for your first date is not really much of a science.
You just have to figure out what look works for you.
You can keep Polaroid pictures of yourself in your favorite outfits.
By having a "dress diary", not only will you see all your choices at a glance, you can also keep track on the style and cut of clothes that you need and need not to buy.
Do you think it's worth the effort of keeping a "dress diary" just to impress your first date?
