How to Dress on a First Date

Chrisdavy
To dress on a first date has to be like the third hardest thing in the world to do, right behind finding a good Ben Stiller movie and popping a greasy basketball with your bare hands. Do you go formal? Overdress? Or maybe you want to show her your freebird side? Chill out. I'll show you how to dress on a first date and be ready for whatever.

EET AND LEGS. If you want to dress on a first date well, and be prepared for anything, there are some essentials which you can't go wrong with. In LA, we call it the dark jeans/black shoes combo platter, but it's good all over. But the jeans HAVE to fit. No baggy stuff. Your jeans should hug nicely without showing off your junk and as a reference, should cost around $120. 7 for all Mankind or Lucky Brand do well all the time. And the shoes should be leather loafers, spit shined to a tee. You should see your face in them.

DY. When you dress for a first date, your shirt is the thing you have the most freedom with. You can show your personality here, but don't go crazy. What's popular now are the silkscreen shirts, but don't get any of those super loud Ed Hardy tattoo shirts unless you KNOW your girl likes that stuff. Also, they don't go well with any kind of sport coats. Polos will never go out of style. Make sure it's form fitting, even if you're fat. Rather look confidently fat than sloppily can't tell. Also, if you play your cards right, you don't want her having any surprises. The secret to the dress on a first date shirt is to show confidence in who you are without letting the shirt overpower the rest of your ensemble.

FACE. Keep the crazy shavy to a minimum. Go with a good classic look. Goatees never fail. Stay away from soul patches on a first date. Some girls just don't like them. No beards. And shave your chest. Don't wax; shave. That way you look neat without looking like a teenager. Some girls like em hairy, but you can always grow it back. If she likes her men smooth, you've got her both ways. And your hair...please no overgel. PLEASE. Do whatever other hairstyle you want, but that gel will 8 times out of 10 rule you OUT.

AC's licentious, guilty pleasure. What can I say? I write about sex and money. You know, the important stuff. Giggle. (But I do it so well!) Fashion, too. LOL  View profile
