First Date Fashions

~*This post dedicated to the memory of my good friend Kiran*~

Dear H,

What are some good ideas of what to wear on a first date if we're just casually grabbing a drink after he gets out of work?

Thanks!

Empty,

The key to first date fashion is not to be too out there with your style.  Your version of dress-to-impress might not be what your date had in mind.  Unless your man is super-metro or a fashion designer, it’s a safe bet that he has a typical guy’s tastes in women’s clothing; they like it simple.  Think jeans and tees, maybe a little black dress.  Avoid crazy silhouettes, chunky accessories, or anything that looks like your mom might wear it (so your new Tory Burch is out).

So what can you wear?  Start with a great fitting pair of jeans, and pair it with your favorite top.  It doesn’t have to be the fanciest “going out” shirt you have, but if you love it, you’ll rock it.  You don’t want to wear anything that you are not totally sure you love—you’ll be self-conscious about it.

If you are not a jeans girl, go with a dress, but pick one that isn’t too fancy, glittery, or slutty.  A jersey dress is good way to show off your body without showing skin, or an always flattering wrap dress like the ones Diane von Furstenberg has made a name for herself with.  Don’t have the budget for the DvF?    Try this one from Victoria’s Secret for $85:

Plus, if it’s from Vicky’s, the guy has got to love it, right? 

Cheers!
