First dates!

That single word brings a turmoil of mixed emotions. Excitement, anxiety, cautiousness, happiness, fear of judgment, and many more. It’s a strong cocktail of all kinds of emotions.

But, all those things seem quite small when you come across the biggest question!

“What to wear on a first date?”

Hours of searching, selecting, and rejecting outfits, asking for suggestions, to decide which outfit to go with. And when you finally select something and wear it, you are still having second thoughts.

Why is it so hard to select an outfit?

Before you select any outfits, let’s first understand the psychology behind them.

You may have heard the cliché many times, “when you look good, you feel good.”

In psychological terms, it’s called the theory of enclothed cognition. According to the theory, your outfits influence your emotions and behavior.

“When you don’t have to worry about what to wear, you can pay attention to more important things. When it comes to picking colors for your date outfits, red and black are good options to go with, especially when you’re not sure.”

Caution: Avoid wearing colors like orange or brown on your first date.

The color orange is often associated with caution signs on construction sites and roads. It can give a superficial and attention-seeker vibe.

The color brown gives a boring and serious vibe. So, avoid these colors on a first date.

The color orange is often associated with caution signs on construction sites and roads. It can give a superficial and attention-seeker vibe. The color brown gives a boring and serious vibe.

So, avoid these colors on a first date. You may also want to avoid wearing clothes that are too revealing or overly trendy.

It makes you look unapproachable. And also don’t wear outfits that look like you’ve put too much effort into them. Effortless dressing looks way cooler and more appealing.

Avoid attention-grabbing prints or colors that are too flashy. Your date should concentrate on you, not your outfits. Sticking to solid colors is a good option.

Remember, the whole point is to be comfortable and make the other person comfortable. If it gets awkward, there is a risk of ruining the date.

 After reading all this, you must be like – Good lord! That’s a lot of information to remember. Am I going to a date or a psychology class?

Don’t worry, you don’t have to remember any of that. We have done all the work for you and selected some outfits from our wardrobe keeping in mind all the above points.

Choose the outfit of your choice and forget worrying about it. Have fun and make some good memories with your date. After all, that’s the whole point of it.

Choosing the best outfit for a date depends on the place you are going and what you are planning on doing.

You can’t wear a midi-length dress to a hike, right? Context matters.
