Ever been so confused what to wear on your first date?

Well lunches and coffees are easy to go but how about a fancy dinner. Yes, I'm sure you've fumbled upon that. Here are some tips on how to style and carry yourself on a first date. First dates are super nerve wrecking and you should always have your outfit and ethics on point.

We all love getting ready for our dates. Of course we want to look our best and there’s no specific guide on dressing but there are some points that you should keep in mind while getting ready. Always remember first impression is the last impression so it better be a good one and also COMFORT IS KEY.

First of all, never opt for sneakers. Heels is always the key. But make sure you are comfortable. Go for kitten heels but always make sure you do because heels add height to your outfit.

Go for low key makeup – light eye makeup and a light lipstick. And keep it simple really. Do not experiment with loud and flashy makeup, be yourself.

Be well groomed on your first date - probably go for a manicure or a pedicure. If you are wearing something that shows skin, make sure you have waxed or shaved.

Be Comfortable - This should, I hope, go without saying. Painful shoes and jeans that dig into your stomach are not sexy. You want to be able to walk, sit, and eat without thinking about it. Wear something that you feel confident in. Confidence matters. And if you really aren’t comfortable and aren’t able to carry out your outfit however good it might be, there’s no point wearing it. You should always boost your confidence because confidence is sexy and it matters the most.

Look Like Yourself - Another "duh," maybe, but a first date is not the time to try out a new persona

Bring A Sweater - You might get cold.

Oh, and Practice Sitting Down - Some things get really low-cut when you're sitting. This can be awkward. You'll end up tugging at your neckline. Trust me on this one.

Wear a color that suits rather than your favorite colour - It may be that both are one and the same but if not, prefer a color that you know brings out the very best in you.

Know what looks good on you, showoff your assets - If you don't, then ask your mom or a sibling to be honest about the clothes they like you in. You are in charge of your destiny where self-presentation comes into it, and part of this is knowing what sets off your own assets to greatest advantage.

Use a modest amount of perfume - You don't want to asphyxiate your date with your fragrance, the poor man could faint. Instead use just enough perfume to caress and seduce his senses in a subtle way.

I have chosen a red bodycon dress along with black and gold heels for a dinner date in a fancy restaurant. I feel confident maximum in the colour red and also that bodycon compliments my figure type and shows off all my assets. I have also added a black cape in case I might get cold.
