Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Ask your date about the event: Will you need park clothes, beachwear, an urban dinner outfit or rock-climbing gear?

  2. Step 2

    Aim for middle ground for date one. Neutral colors, classic styles and great accessories are always comfortable, especially if you don't know your destination.

  3. Step 3

    Assess your position. Will you convey "career," "artistic," "dynamite" or "easy confidence"?

  4. Step 4

    Decide what makes you feel pretty, sexy, confident or comfortable. Do you want to be more sexy than sedate, or do you want to look sophisticated?

  5. Step 5

    Choose your colors. That little black dress, silver jewelry and an exotic shawl could be stylish and sophisticated. Pastels, gingham or soft lines suggest softness. Tie-dye can be fun or whimsical.

  6. Step 6

    Be yourself. If you're at ease with lower necklines and revealing clothes, go for it if it feels appropriate.

  7. Step 7

    Think comfort. Stiletto heels, new styles or a skimpy skirt may make you uncomfortable and distract you from your date.

  8. Step 8

    Dress it up or down. Classic separates can be easily paired with one extra-special piece for a boost.

on 11/27/2009 ok pet peeve - women that show up to a date wearing an outfit they would wear to the office. dress like you are going on a 'date' - and lets all be honest - that means it should be chic and with a little sexiness to it - guys are visual creatures - and if you show up completely conservatively dressed - it bores the heck out of a guy - you want to catch this guys interest right? but you keep thinking - i don't want to look like a **** right? there is a fine line between looking attractive and like a woman - and a **** - but for sure don't come dressed in clothes his best guy buddy would also wear! - my opinion too - leave the jeans at home - throw on a dress..

on 8/4/2009 Seriously people??? Just be yourself, don't wear anything you would never wear outside the date. Sport your own style or he'll think your someone your not.

on 9/11/2008 Having a first date with a man who is a wealthy world traveler who speaks 5 languages. Meeting at a resort hotel near my home for cocktails and dinner. I need to go shopping for an outfit because I don't have a very extensive wardrobe. I want to look sexy yet classy at the same time. Not sure what to wear. Anybody got any suggestions?

on 2/21/2008 Just found the perfect thing to wear under that little black dress...Nicole Miller just came out with a new line of lingerie called the 3rd date collection. Tasteful and sexy bras and panties...hey, ya never know!
