69% of singles say putting effort into appearance is a surefire way to make a good first impression. And, 54% of women say bad style on a date is a deal breaker, while 73% of men have no problem with how their date dresses. First dates can be fun and exciting, yet also nerve-wracking, so it's important you pick an outfit that makes you look and feel as confident as possible. By taking the time to put together a stylish yet comfortable outfit, you'll be able to shine on your first date.
Comfort Is Key
Although it's important to look good on your date, it's equally important to also be comfortable. When you feel good in clothes, your confidence will shine through. So, be sure to wear something you've worn before and know fits well. Avoid brand new pieces that may end up being uncomfortable (you don't want to spend the whole date with a strap that keeps falling down your shoulder or your waistband digging into your belly). A comfortable and supportive bra is also a must. A balconette bra, for example, offers ample support and rounded shape, while also appearing invisible under your outfit. To find out what style suits you, it is helpful to know bra size so you can use it as a reference.
T-Shirt and Jeans
A t-shirt and jeans combo shouldn't just be regarded as a basic everyday staple; it can also make for stylish yet comfortable date night wear. A nice top with a modern twist like shoulder pads, for example, can revamp an otherwise simple outfit. Padded shoulders look stylish and elegant—just be sure to pay attention to your overall silhouette and balance the exaggerated top half with a fitted, figure-hugging bottom half (leggings or a fitted skirt work well). Distressed jeans and kitten heels can complete this casual yet chic date night outfit.
Feminine Midi Dress
A midi dress is an easy date night outfit idea that instantly exudes femininity and romance. It's also an easy option as you only have to decide on one item of clothing and you're done. Alternatively, if dresses aren't your thing, something like a romper or jumpsuit is an ideal alternative. Both these pieces are comfy and cool with a flattering fit. Chic sneakers or kitten heels make the perfect finishing touch—and be sure to grab a warm cardi in case it gets chilly once the sun goes down.
First date fashion doesn't have to be complicated. By taking time to put together a stylish yet comfortable outfit, you're bound to look and feel great on your first date.
