What to wear
As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man." It's not as
materialistic as it sounds though; put simply, this means, how you dress can say
a lot about you. Think about what your clothes reveal about your personality as
you decide what to wear on your first date. Keep these considerations in mind
when choosing your outfit:
- What impression do you want to make? Do you want to look professional
and conservative, casual yet savvy, or cool and hip?
- Dress appropriately for the occasion. You would not want to wear high
heels if you are going for a long walk in the park. And you might not want to
dress in too-revealing clothes if you're going to a cocktail party with business
associates.
- Of course, you want to express yourself in your clothing style, but you
also want to please and impress your date, and make him feel comfortable. For
example, when Paula planned her first date with Rich, she remembered how much he
likes motorcycles, so she wore her black leather jacket and high buckle boots --
ad she was a hit. When Sarah met Stephen, he was wearing gray slacks and a blue
blazer, so for their first date she dressed in an equality conservative outfit:
white shirt, black shirt, blue shirt, and black pumps.
