The way you dress is likely to influence the way your partner sees you on a first date. Even if your personalities are an absolute match, the last thing you want to do is to kill off the mood with a poor choice of dress.<\/p>\n

Generally, there are no hard and fast rules when it comes to what to wear, but there are ways you can boost your chances of a successful date, by dressing to impress.<\/p>\n

So if you want to avoid a visit from the fashion police and wow your date then follow our top tips below.<\/p>\n

Do: Be comfortable<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stumbling along on high heels, wearing clothes that itch, or are too tight, hot, or cold will not only make you feel uncomfortable, and ultimately, more nervous, your body language will be a dead give away.<\/p>\n

Remember, the more comfortable you are feeling, the more confident you'll come across, and confidence is sexy.<\/p>\n

Don't: Over dress<\/strong><\/p>\n

You definitely don't want to put on your ballgown and high heels when going for a football game, a long walk, or any other date where such clothing wouldn't be appropriate.<\/p>\n

The best rule of thumb is simply to find out where you are going and dress accordingly.<\/p>\n

Do: Be stylish<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whatever you decide to wear, and wherever you decide to go, you want to be looking sexy, sophisticated and chic.<\/p>\n

Consider complementing your clothing with interesting belts, jewellery and accessories if you are a girl and consider a smart, sexy shirt, unbuttoned at the top, if you are a guy.<\/p>\n

It is important to find your own style, rather than just being a clone of what is already out there.<\/p>\n

Don't: Reveal too much<\/strong><\/p>\n

Part of the beauty of dating is the mystique you carry with you, which helps to capture the imagination of your other half.<\/p>\n

However, if you have your chest fully on display, or you are revealing too much of your anatomy, it may be off-putting to a potential partner, especially during a stage when you don't know eachother that well.<\/p>\n

So ladies, avoid wearing anything that is too low cut, low slung, or revealing.<\/p>\n

This applies equally to the guys too. The last thing you want are your tummy rolls to be on full display to your partner, a top that is too tight, or awkward bits of hair or flesh popping out uninvited.<\/p>\n

Do: Keep it clean and neat<\/strong><\/p>\n

You simply cannot go wrong if you have a good shower, neatly brush your hair and wear neat clothes on your date.<\/p>\n

Shaving, brushing your teeth and applying a little bit of scent are also the fundamentals when it comes to preparing to meeting another.\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801796072-ADNFCR\"<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
