How you carry yourself to show how confident you are! So, save your time today to stop thinking about the things that can go wrong. Do not over think if anyone passes judgment on first date stress. It is completely justified. You want to make a first impression on the first date, be wise to choose the right outfit.

When it comes to dressing up, it is not only about the attire but accessories too. So the essential rule is to mix your dress, footwear, and accessories that will make you look put together. Let's say high heels for some who are 5'5" and flats for some who are 6'1" would be perfect. If you are comfortable in flats and want to wear high heels instead can go wrong.

Now, in terms of outfit, different opinion floats around to differentiate between good and average. But, it is all about being the best version of you, eventually. There are so many tried tips and tricks, but the fantastic one is "be you."

Take any outfit (preferably subtle not neon) that flatters your body type. A cute footwear, say, heels or flats as per your height. Now, take a decent looking clutch that should not look too flashy. Last but not least, minimal ornaments and there you go ready for the first date.

Lunch Date vs. Dinner Date

Is it lunch and dinner date outfits are different? Let's find out. Comfort is the key regardless of any other thing.

Now moving on to the lunch date, it is preferred to avoid dressing too dressy. By that, it means if you are wearing backless or deep neck top, pair it with skinny jeans. You can also opt for denim shorts with long sleeved top and shoes.

Do not show too much skin if you are not comfortable. Make sure the top wear and bottom wear to complement each other.

You can experiment with glitters when it comes to a dinner date. For instance, you can go for a black maxi dress, a flashy clutch and a pair of strappy nude heels. Or a knee-length silk dress would do the job.

Let's Do Some Grooming and Minimal Makeup

In terms of makeup, there is no need to put a whole lot of makeup than required. Put very minimal base and long lasting lipstick that should not melt from the center.

Pay attention to your nails and hair. Make sure you keep your nails manicured and hair washed.

Final Thoughts

Apart from what you are wearing, make sure your nails are clean, hair washed and shoes polished.

You should look put together with whatever you wear.
