First dates can be stressful enough without having to worry about what to wear and how to accessorize for the occasion.  By sticking with classic fashion that never goes out of style and wearing clothes that are comfortable, you can keep your anxiety level to a minimum.  Here are a few stylish yet comfortable clothing suggestions to fit three of the most common first date experiences:

Lunch Date

A lunch date is a bit more casual if it happens during the weekday, as you will both be dressed in business casual or work attire.  There’s not much you can do there.  However, if your lunch date takes place on the weekend, then you will have a few more options.  Whether it’s a picnic in the park, dining on an outdoor restaurant deck or at a local coffee house, lunch dates can be an invigorating way to start the day.

Casual Dinner Date

Are you going to dinner and a movie on your first date?  Movies typically aren’t a great first date experience because not much talking can be done while you are watching the screen in silence among hundreds of other film-goers.  However, if your date tops it off with dinner, then a movie can be a great icebreaker because it gives you something to discuss later on.   You may even get bonus points if you bring a large purse and fill it with your favorite candy to share.   summer wedding guest dress If a movie isn’t on the agenda but a casual meal is, try not to pick a place that’s too loud; it can be hard to keep the flow of conversation going if you’re yelling back and forth.

Skinny jeans and a cute top make are a great look for a dinner date.   You can dress this outfit up or down in a number of ways.   For example, you can pair it with heels for a sophisticated look or flats if you want to keep it casual. Either way, it works.  Similar to the above suggestion, bring along a scarf to tie the outfit together.  It’s always colder indoors, and scarves are much less bulky than jackets.   When you warm up, you can just stash the scarf in your purse.

Formal Date

The guy you’ve been admiring for weeks finally asks you out on a date.  He mentions a restaurant that you know is extremely formal.  What do you wear?   Whether it’s a fancy restaurant, a special event or the theater, there are only two words to describe this date: lucky you!  Don’t sweat because now is your time to shine and look fabulous.  Play up your best qualities and embrace your feminine side.   If you’re heading somewhere classy, you should absolutely wear a dress.  Don’t wear anything too short or too low-cut.  You don’t need to give away all the goods on the first date.    Play with fabrics and patterns, and create a look that leaves him imagining more and begging for a second date.
