Going on my First Date...What to wear? (4th Jun 09)
I'm going on my first date. The guy has been my best friend for ages now. Can you please suggest something to wear? I want something classy. I'm not too tall, and have an average built.
Alright! So you have n-number of options to choose from. Just remember, whatever you wear on your first date, should reflect of who you are. The important part is not dressing up to have him jerking, but carry yourself with such an elan that he falls for you. Wear comfortable clothes. If you have to hold your breath for fitting into that skinny jeans...Stop! Just don't wear it. You'd rather look pretty in a head-turning evening gown.
You've mentioned that you are average in height and built. You can wear flowing log skirts to give your height a little boost. Avoid anything in horizontal pattern as that will make you look shorter. Go for vertical design instead. Try keeping it simple. First dates are not meant to be flashy types, unless you are meeting up in a disc or something.
You may also try mid-length gowns in pastel shades if it's an afternoon affair. Team it up with bracelets or neck-pieces, whatever you prefer. Keep the accessories simple. Here again, don't jazz it up too much so that he feels suffocated to death by just looking at you. Please don't wear the traditional jewellery even if you want to wear something ethnic. The necklace that your grandma gifted you can be saved up till the wedding day.
For footwear, try medium length heels or even flats would look pretty. Hairstyle can be whichever you are comfortable in. Just leave your hair open and let them flow with the air as you walk up to him. Don't wear anything too much revealing as mini skirts or hot pants, even if it's your bestest of friends that you are dating. Reveal a little to keep the mystery factor alive, but not go outrageous.
Hope you find the perfect dress and click it as the perfect date. All the best!!!
