What to Wear On A First Date? Style Tips From Your Personal Style Advisor

Style Tips From Your Personal Style Advisor from London, UK. What to wear on a first date? A dilemma that we have all experienced at some stage in life. If you are planning to go back to dating, your style should be a true representation of who you are. Nailing a killer first date look is true science, but the fashion principles remain the same whether you are a man or woman. Here are some key style tips from your expert stylist to help you align what’s inside with your look.

“The ultimate goal when I style a client for a first date is to achieve the effortless “I just threw this on” vibe. This is valid for both men & women – you want to achieve the right balance of looking smart yet effortless.” – Personal Style Advisor Deni Kiro

Find Your Style Personality

Reflecting your personality with your style will help you look authentic on your first-date. Are you a modern, creative or traditional person? You can express this in your look with skilful styling. For example, a sleek minimalist outfit will reflect a modern outlook, interesting colour combinations suggest creativity while classic cuts & colours will give you a timeless feel. Finding your style personality will help you create a personal style that is authentic and unique for you.

“The right first date outfit should project both comfort & originality. Comfort is very important, but not enough by itself for an impactful look. Understanding your style personality and the key elements to help you achieve it will bring a deep sense of originality and confidence on your date.”

Dress For Your Shape & Complexion

Dressing for your body shape is key to enhance your strengths. Choosing the right fit for your proportions & height will boost your inner confidence. For example, if you are an hourglass or pear body shape, a figure-hugging outfit with a tight waist would look great while a sporty figure with no prominent waist might opt for a relaxed fit with an accent on the neckline or shoes instead. Picking a colour that flatters your complexion is really important too. Dressing in your best colour will brighten up your skin & make you shine. If you are not sure which colours suit you, book a Colour & Body Shape Analysis to get expert styling advice.

“Wear something that fits you perfectly! It shouldn’t be too loose or oversized—something that shows off your figure but isn’t too tight. If you feel good in what you wear, you will look & act your best.”

Personal Style Advice: Dress For The Venue

Always check out the venue online to get a feel for the setting when choosing your outfit. For a dressy dinner date, pick a look with a smart cut and intricate fabrics. For a relaxed date, some casual staples with a statement accessory such as scarf or shoes will look great.

First date Style DON’Ts: When we talk about first date style remember that being overdressed can look like you’re trying too hard. Avoid extremes like overly trendy outfits or heavy makeup. Don’t show too much skin or muscle (for men). Smart casual mix & match and tasteful minimalism are always best for the first date.
