You’re going on a first date and searching for the perfect outfit that will make a last impression. You’ve been counting down the days and now you have to find something to wear. It can be challenging to pick out a first date outfit when there are so many things to consider. Is it a casual date? A fancy dinner at a nice restaurant, a chill coffee date or an outdoor lunch?

But don’t underestimate the power of a good first date outfit - your favourite dress might help you feel at ease. Check out our favourite casual and dressy first date outfits below.
 

WHAT TO WEAR ON A CASUAL FIRST DATE

Daytime dates tend to be more casual than evening dates, so jeans and a cute top is a fail-safe option. This date outfit can be layered during winter with a cute coat and boots and during summer pair it with your favourite pair or flats or heels depending on the occasion. Avoid distressed detailing on your denim and opt for darker shades if you want to dress up your outfit for evening wear. See below for our other favourite top picks to be paired with jeans and a cute heel or flats.

WHAT TO WEAR ON A FIRST DATE IN THE EVENING

Evening dates require a little more elegance to them. If you’re rushing straight from work to your date then a cute pants and bustier top paired with a dressy clutch and heels is our go to! If you’re a dress type of gal then we suggest opting for a little black dress or a printed dress moment.

 

Our top pick for a first date outfit during the cooler winter seasons would be a cute matching knit set or knit dress paired with your favourite purse and a cute pair of Billini to dress it up. Comfort always comes first and you can’t go wrong in a knit set.

WHAT IS THE BEST COLOUR TO WEAR ON A FIRST DATE?

Although there are a load of so-called rules about colour when it comes to what to wear on a first date we prefer to go with the trend. Although research might suggest that men are more attracted to red, what if red is not your colour? The ‘Dopamine Dressing’ fashion trend of 2022 is first at the forefront of our date outfits. The ‘Dopamine Dressing’ trend is all about mood-lifting colours so if you want to make a lasting impression, think about working in some bright colour clothing to your outfit. Otherwise opt for a pop of bold colour accessories to compliment your outfit. Wearing colour can suggest confidence and confidence is key on a first date!

WHAT TYPE OF JEWELLERY TO WEAR ON A FIRST DATE

While there is no set rulebook for what the best type of jewellery to wear on a first date is, we have a few tips that may help you out:


Go for a balanced look: As much as you might love extravagant jewellery, when it comes to date night, it’s time to tone it down and go for a more mature, balanced look.
 
Accentuate the positive: Utilise your jewellery pieces to creatively accentuate your best features. For example, if you have a beautiful face structure, choose a great pair of earrings that draw attention to the shape of your face. A gorgeous ring will call attention to your lovely hands.
 
Let your personality shine: If you have chosen to wear jewellery for your first date, make sure to choose accessories that reflect your personality. Opt for a statement piece that expresses your personality, your date will be sure to love your boldness.
