How to Dress For Your First Date

Looking good on the first date is not actually something that the women wants; they actually want you to look appropriate for the first date. But, that being said, looks can actually help you quite a bit! By looks, I don’t mean that you have to be Brad Pitt or Justin Timberlake, but you have to take care of yourself. Luckily, for the true metrosexual, this is not a problem, but there may be some tips which you have overlooked. Here are a few things you should make sure for the first date:

• Grooming: Make sure your hair is done. Get a hair appointment a few hours before, and make sure your hair is styled to your liking. Make sure you shave the day of your date as well. That does not mean that if your style is a scruffy beard, that you go clean shaved, but shave the parts that should not be there. If you have a goatee, shave the scruff that should not be there. If you have scruff, trim it so that it is not unattractive. Put some cologne on, don’t shower in it, but a couple of sprays near the neck does not hurt (if it’s near the neck, she’ll come closer to you, just a tip). Check your breath, make sure you shower and you should be groomed to go.

• Clothing: Make sure you dress appropriately. Do not be over the top, and do not be too dressed down. Dress to the occasion. Depending on how casual the date is, that should determine how casual your clothing should be. Do not wear a tuxedo to the movie theatre, but do not wear sneakers to a fine Italian restaurant. 

• Jewellery: Jewellery does not matter that much, but if you insist on wearing a watch, or your earring, or any jewellery, just make sure it does not look cheap. Wear a nice watch, not a casio sports watch. Wear a nice thin chain, not a Flava Flav clock.

These are basically the nuts and bolts to dressing up on your first date. Remember though, it is not about how you look, it is all about how you present yourself. If you clean, and look like you take care of yourself, your lady friend will like that. It shows that you care, and hopefully you will put the same care into your lady!
