A miniskirt and high heels might make you feel glamorous, but they aren’t appropriate for go-karting or bowling. Use your common sense to dress in a way that’s fitting for the occasion and don’t be the girl who has to sit out because of her heels. If you’re stumped on outfit ideas, Pinterest can be a great resource. Type in “outfit” and whatever activity you’re doing, and you can see a gallery of outfits that other people might wear. Or just Google it. Simple and easy. Add a splash of color.
It can be fun to buy a whole new outfit for a date, but you must make sure that it fits properly and comfortably before you head out on your date. When in doubt, wear your “go-to” favorite outfit. If you have a get-up that makes you feel awesome and is appropriate for the date, wear it!
By trying on your outfit beforehand, you ensure that it fits well, it’s comfortable, it looks great, and it’ll work for the specific date environment. Nothing is more stressful than having to find a new outfit five minutes before your date arrives! Set yourself up for success.
The biggest thing you should remember when picking out an outfit for a date is simply that the outfit is not the star of the show. You are! Your clothing should fit the occasion and the weather so that it isn’t a distraction on your date. You want to spend your time having fun with your date, not worrying about your outfit. That is why planning ahead is key– get the worrying out of the way before your date begins.
Your date will probably be distracted if greasy strands of hair are hanging over your eyes. Let them focus on you, not your hair.
That said, makeup is only a fun addition to your look, but it isn’t absolutely necessary. If you don’t wear makeup regularly and don’t find it necessary, skip it! Don’t feel pressure to wear makeup simply because you’re going on a date.
If you are eager to use a new product, just give it a test run before your date. That will ensure you know how to apply it properly and you love the way it looks.
If you aren’t concerned with your makeup wearing off, you can certainly skip this step. The only thing that matters is that you feel confident and gorgeous for the entirety of the date.
You might not need or want to discuss these topics once the date starts, but it can help calm your nerves by having them prepared.
