First date, what to wear help!!

Hi all, I'm going on a date in a couple of days and I have no idea what to wear! We're just going for some drinks at a bar, & I was thinking dressing smart & casual but not too dressy. As if going on a first date isn't nerve wracking enough without having to worry what clothes to choose.

I don't actually own a pair of jeans! And I'm on a budget so I cannot go out & buy something new. But I have a few skirts, mini & midi length, and a few simple dresses & tops knocking about in my wardrobe.

So I was wondering what thoughts do you have on what to wear to a first date? And guys what dates have you been on where the girl has been dressed hot or not?

All comments will be appreciated, thanks for helping me out! :smile:

Dress. Dress. Dress. Dress. Dress. Dress. Can you guess which one I think? haha :smile: I think a cute, casual light dress would be really nice. Show off those legs! Obviously do your hair up nice, and not too much on the makeup.. but try to emphasise your eyes the most :smile: You should of given us pictures, it's easier! :smile: Good luck on your date!


Pink, or stink?

For a post that isn't trolling, I would say just wear what you feel comfortable in. Wear how much makeup you normally wear. He will be used to how you normally look. Within reason men don't really care how girls dress that much. As long as it is something you like, he will probably like it too.

Hope this helps :smile:

Aw. I was like this on my first date, which was with my still OH :smile:
We went too a nice bar for some drinks, I wore a pair of skinnies, black high heels and a black figure hugging long sleeved lace top laced top. I didnt want to show off too much on the first date, I thought skinnies and a figure hugging top where just enough, shows of my figure whilst not baring any flesh :wink: Lets him have an imagination :P I didnt wear too much makeup, but made sure my hair made a statement, with nice loose curls all clipped to the side :smile:

I felt comfortable with what I chose to wear, and thats what matters!
I must have gone through everything in my wardrobe before hand! Before realising I was freaking out way to much and just had to be comfortable with what I was wearing.
Being comfortable and feeling good in what you wear will make you more confident and that confidence will show! :smile:

I would just advise not to wear something too flashy or showy as he might get the wrong impression of what your after. Dont give away too much :smile:
