It may be a blind date, it may be with someone you know- but one thing is sure, getting ready for a date with someone new involves a bit more than a spritz of eau de parfum spray and a dash out the door. You want to make the very best first impression, and be able to make a connection, or at least have a great time.

There are a number of ways to make a good first impression on a first date and ensure that you look wonderful. Thinking about a few important factors before the date will make picking an outfit easy, and you will find you look great and feel confident about that.

For the first date, it is always better to know what you will be doing and where. After all, you do not want to show up in a pair of skinny jeans for a night at the opera. Consider asking about what the plan is, before the date, even if that seems awkward. It would be more awkward to show up improperly dressed for the occasion, so be sure you know what you’re getting into ahead of time.

It may not be easy to ask your date what you should wear, but you don’t have to do it that way. Just ask what you’ll be doing. This is the most simple way to make sure that you are clear on what you should, or should not wear.

Yes, you want to also be yourself. But if yourself is always lounging around in old sweats casual, you may want to rethink that. This may be your every day style, but it’s right up there on the attraction factor with wearing a brown boot and a high heel shoe.

Make sure that you are at least dressed in a sharp casual fashion, but not too casual. Usually for first dates out to dinner and the like, a casual business attire can work. However, if you have done step one and found out that you’ll be visiting a gym- then there is no problem with the sweats and t shirt approach. Save it for the gym, though. Jeans are another thing to think about, but in most cases, they are not all that appropriate.

If you’re going to be doing something more active, a walk or something, jeans are probably fine. If you’re going out to dinner, they more than likely are not. No matter what you wear, keep it also a bit on the conservative side so you do not give off the wrong impression. Later on, you can wear things that are a bit more revealing, but not at first. Being able to be comfortable, but attractive on a first date may bring on the second one for you.
