What to wear on a date
Wear something that makes you feel like yourself on a good day. If you are comfortable you will be easier to talk to, and that matters more than any outfit.
The short answer
One step smarter than your usual, in something that fits well and that you have worn before. Comfortable shoes, one piece you love, nothing you will fidget with.
Think about where you are going
A bar, a long dinner and a walk need different shoes and layers. Plan for the place, the weather and the way home.
Choose fit and comfort over trend
The piece you keep adjusting is the wrong piece. Pick what sits well when you stand, sit and walk, and that you have worn at least once already.
One piece you love, the rest quiet
A colour you like, a good jacket or a favourite pair of boots is enough. Let the rest stay calm so the evening is about the two of you.
Be ready for the evening to change
Plans move. A layer for a cold walk and shoes you can stand in will save more evenings than a perfect first impression.
The night before
- Check the plan and the forecast
- Try the outfit on, sit down and walk around
- Put your phone, keys and a small umbrella in the bag
- Pick a layer for the way home
- Put the clothes on early so you are not rushing
