What to Wear on a Date

What we wear generally conveys a message on the type of person we are and the impression we intend to make on the person(s) we come across. The people we meet will get a certain idea of how we are thinking by the way we dress. Whether we are dressing for the office, a picnic with family, a night out with friends, a wedding or a date with a loved one, what we choose to wear matters a lot. When going out for a date, it is important to convey the correct message with no mixed signals by the way we dress. The first thing to consider is where the date is going to be and the kind of activities to be engaged in. A picnic on the mountains will require one to dress differently from a dinner date. A couple planning their wedding will choose their outfits carefully so as to make the event special.

Going out on a date is an opportunity for the couple to get to know more about each other before they get married. They maximize on enjoying each other’s company and being at ease as they do this. It is therefore important to wear something comfortable that will not be a distraction to either party. Above all the clothes should fit well. Consider trying out the outfit before hand on a separate occasion. Nothing is more uncomfortable than having to deal with ill-fitting clothes while trying to appear calm. The colours chosen should also correspond to the venue and date activities. A day at the beach requires cheerful, bright clothing that is lightweight enough so as not to be overbearing in the heat, while an intimate dinner at a classy restaurant may call for more toned down colours and designs.

As far as impressions go it is important to wear something that portrays who you are. A very expensive one-time buy that is not characteristic of you may give the impression that you are high maintenance while you are not. One’s true colours will ultimately be revealed as soon as marriage begins. The outfit one gets married in must also be comfortable. When clothes should not be a distraction, they should be appealing and add to your total thought-out look. When one is comfortable in their outfit they exude confidence.

One’s style and taste should not be compromised when they go out on a date. When this happens the whole event may be strained. A jeans and sneakers person may feel a little imposed on when they have to wear a formal suit for a date. It is important to keep to your individuality, but at the same time the venue and occasion must be considered. Once the couple is hitched, their individuality will be perpetuated throughout their marriage. Jeans and sneakers will not do in a chic restaurant, maybe for a movie and fast food date. Also wearing clothes that are too revealing especially for gives the impression of cheapness and loose morals.
