Clothes Make The Date
By Bernadette Sukley Going on a date is like an interview. You want to look self assured but you dont want to look too needy. So, ask yourself: Where am I going? For a few drinks? To a fancy restaurant? To the movies? Miniature golfing? If she says dont dress updont. Causal means casual, not cautiously overdressed. Weathers the thing. Spring and fall are tough to call. Wear a sweater and youre likely to be sweating before the dates begun. You have a mobile closetits called your car. Toss a few items in the back (not the trunk) in case you need to change the outfit with the weather. Dont wear a tie unless you are meeting your date directly from work or the sitch calls for one. Subtle patterns in pastels are eye-catching, bold lines and geometric shapes can put off the beholder. And ladies, dont wear too high heels. Nerves + high heels = fall. Do entice, dont overpower. Cologne or perfume can initiate all kinds of reactions. If its overpowering the reaction may be sudden (read: asthma attack). Fragrances linger a little better on clothing than skin. One or two short spritzes are all you need. Tight clothes. A big no-no. Fashion-wise or socially tight clothing tends to bring out figure flaws on guys and gals rather than covering them up. Even super models would look less appealing in too tight pants. Bling. Surebut dont over do it. Its easier (and less time consuming) to match a few pieces than worry if the turquoise beads clash with the fuchsia cloisonn and the pearls. Dont hide piercings. If youve got one or two keep your studs indates arent about hiding, but showing the other person the real you. Jeans. The ideal date default dress. You can get away with jeans any where (except a fancy restaurant). Just make sure that they fit well and arent wrinkly. You can dress them up with a jacketgreat look for guys. Silk chemise and jeans are good datewear for ladies. Hair. The eternal question for women: up or down? If its short ignore this tip. But women should look in a mirror and decide if they want to elongate the face. Hair thats down to your shoulders will automatically do that. But if you feel your face is too long, put your hair up. For men and women: Getting your hair cut on the day of a big date is dicey. If its been a long time since your hair saw scissors, a new cut might be a good thing. But if youre getting it cut just to get it cut–chances are youll hate it. Bernadette Sukley is a freelance writer with an eye towards the quirky.
