First dates for men can be nerve-wracking experience especially when you are just getting back to the dating game or are new at it. Among the few things you can fully control on a first date is how you present yourself on the date. Dressing for success on a first date can significantly up your chances of how good your first date goes. So to help you out here are some of the tips you need to remember on how to dress well on a first date.
1. Know the Venue and Activity
Before you even actually go on the date you need to know about the venue. Normally it’s you who picks the venue and activity to do together on the date so you choose how to dress up and plan for the date. The date setting will dictate the dress code, so whether it’s a casual coffee date, an arcade date, bowling or darts, or an outdoor adventure, make sure you dress for the occasion.
Example: If you’re meeting at a trendy cafe, a smart-casual look might be perfect—think well-fitted jeans, a stylish shirt, and clean sneakers. Make sure you have accessories that match as well. For a more upscale dinner date, opt for formal shoes, tailored pants, and a crisp button-down shirt.
You get the idea. Dress in a way that suits you for the particular date. Make sure to account for the time as well.
2. Keep It Comfortable
While looking good is important, comfort is also equally key. If you’re constantly adjusting your outfit or fidgeting you will really look weird and nervous which is the last thing you want to show your date. Choose clothes that fit well and allow you to move comfortably especially if you have a date activity that involves playing together or other activities.
Example: If you’re planning a date that involves an arcade or dancing, walking, or other physical activity, avoid clothes that are not good for movement. A casual, fitted tee with chinos and comfortable shoes would look good. You’ll look sharp without sacrificing comfort.
Tip: Move around a bit in your outfit before the date. Wear it around the house to ensure everything fits well and that you feel comfortable wearing it so there are no issues on the actual date.
3. Your Personal Style
Your outfit should be the best version of you. But at the end of the day dress in a way that’s an extension of who you are. Your personal style is what sets you apart. Learn what suits you and makes you happy when you see yourself in the mirror.
Dress in a way that represents you. Do you like a classy mafia look or a stylish hip-hop rapper look? Whatever is your style own it. The goal is for you to look amazing for you.
Example: If you’re into vintage fashion, don’t shy away from it. A classic leather jacket or a unique accessory can be a great conversation starter. The key is balance and personal style.
4. Pay Attention to Details
The little things matter in ways you would not normally consider. From matching your shoes and watch with your outfit to that stylish necklace you are rocking. These little things make you look cool. Same with your grooming. A clean, polished look shows where you smell and feel great and can make you 10 times more attractive than you would normally.
I cannot stress this enough make sure to use accessories to look even more stylish. It can be a classy watch, a necklace or a belt. Whatever you find cool and suits your outfit.
5. Dress for Confidence
Ultimately, the goal is to wear something that makes you feel confident and the best version of yourself when you go on dates. Confidence is probably the most attractive thing to women, and when you feel good in your clothes, it shows. Choose an outfit that makes you proud when you look yourself in the mirror.
Make sure to wear a perfume that you like and smells great. Here are some recommendations for perfume.
Example: If you have a go-to outfit that always makes you feel great, consider wearing it on your first date. Whether it’s a favorite shirt or a lucky pair of jeans, dressing in something that boosts your confidence.
