First dates are not about trying something outlandish to impress your date. They are about putting on something you feel comfortable in so that you are comfortable during your date.

What Makes You Feel Confident

If there is a time to showcase your best features, it would be during a first date. Therefore, you should wear clothes on a first date that do precisely that.

However, there is a fine line between attractive revealing and showing too much, which could ruin your date. There are many features you can showcase which can help you play it safe. Your cleavage is not the only body part your date wants to see.

If you have a great upper body, you may try revealing your neck and shoulder area. If you have excellent legs, a dress that rises to above your knees will definitely catch your date’s attention.

As long as you are comfortable revealing a part of your body without feeling self-conscious, you should be good.

In conclusion, what to wear on a first date is a minefield. The above tips should help you choose something sufficient for the date. When in doubt, choose simplicity for clothing on a first date.
