Where are my fashion girlies at? Planning a date is hard. And that’s before you’ve even lifted the lid on what to wear. Whether you’re keeping it casual with a trip to the cinema, pulling out all the stops at a chic restaurant, or dialing up your inner Bond girl at a casino, dressing the part makes all the difference. If you’re struggling for a bit of inspiration, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Movie Night Magic
If you’re on a budget, not quite sure whether you guys are a match, or maybe there’s a film you just really want to see, then a trip to the cinema is a great first date spot. But cinema dates can be tricky when it comes to dressing well. You obviously want to look your best, but you’re going to be sitting down for hours - so it has to be comfy. Opt for something with a comfortable waist (smart trousers or mid-rise jeans) and a statement piece on top. A beautiful blouse, a silk neck scarf, or even a cashmere jumper. Just remember, layer up! Cinema air conditioning knows no rhyme or reason - so you want to be able to add or subtract layers!
Dining in Style
Congratulations - you’ve made it to the dinner date stage! The way you dress will depend a lot on what kind of restaurant you’re going and also, what time of day it is. Even the chicest venue tends to be more casual at lunchtime, so keep that in mind. If you’re going upscale then a sleek midi dress or a jumpsuit is always a reliable vibe. For something more casual, keep it elegant, but not over the top. Consider dressing down that jumpsuit with sneakers or dressing up jeans with heels. Don't forget to accessorize! That’s your chance to let your personality shine through.
Casino Chic
A trip to the casino calls for glitz and glamour. In fact, it’s probably the very best venue for it. Channel your inner Bond girl with a stunning cocktail dress that makes a statement. If you’re worried about feeling overdressed, then encourage your date to do the same! Chances are, he’ll probably be delighted to get a chance to dust off his suit.
Of course, there’s also the option of a casino-at-home date. These are getting much more popular because they not only allow you to combine a spot of roulette with a more ‘Netflix and chill’ vibe, but they also offer better bonuses online than in-person casinos! If you’re both the bargain hunting type then reading through a few terms to find a good casino sign up bonus can be a fun shared activity. A good bonus can keep your bankroll going much longer into the night.
Outdoor Adventures
If your date involves fresh air - be it a stroll in the park or an afternoon picnic - keep it practical. Nobody wants to see you struggling in the dreaded mud/stilettos combo! Think layers: a fitted jacket, comfortable sneakers, and weather-appropriate accessories like a scarf or sunglasses. Neutral tones always look sharp outdoors, but don’t shy away from a pop of color to brighten things up.
Whatever your plans, dressing well helps you feel confident and ready for anything. Just remember to tailor your outfit to the occasion and let your personal style shine through.
