    Default What to wear on a first date?

    I want to know what you girls would wear on a first date! I would ask people I know offline, but they're going through break ups and I don't want to be all excited and fussy when they're not feeling too good about men.

    We're going to a pretty upmarket chain restaurant/bar... I mean the website makes it look good and the reviews seem good - I looked at them to get an idea on what to wear, even though I think I know what to wear - smart casual.

    But... Ifind it so hard to get smart casual right... I've never seen this guy in anything other than jeans and a tee so I have no idea how much he's going to dress up, or if he's going to go really casual. Such a minefield.

    I think I look best in a dress... I have a great toned and slim upper body but I'm such a traditional English pear shape with a big arse and very large thighs! I don't feel like I have to hide them from him since he's seen me at work - but at the same time I don't fancy drawing attention to them. I feel hot and voluptous at work, like a 50s siren - but in 'the real world' It's my biggest insecurity. It's so hard to make a dress casual.

    I was also thinking of black fitted jeans and heels - but I have a bit of a phobia of jeans with my legs. I'm thinking maybe I splurge on a personal shopper and see if they can find me a pair that doesn't make me look obese.

    This sounds so bloody ridiculous considering what I do for a living, I just have huge thighs, genetics or whatever. I know I'm hot. My top half is fabulous, tiny, toned. My bum is brill. I just can't shift the fat off my huge wobbly touching-together thighs.

    How do I make the most of what I have? If you managed to read all that, thank you!!

    I reckon dress is the way to go... Before my boobies I was a skinny pear and I found this certain style of dress really flattered that shape. http://www.wheelsanddollbaby.com/Products/DRESSES.aspx

    Not the ones that are like a tutu.. the other ones that are fitted and just above the knee. Obviously some of these are quite dressy but something this shape in say a pokadot or other sort of 50s pattern would look appropriate I think.

    Or even look at the knitwear a nice sweater with a pencil skirt perhaps.

    Wow you must be really excited to be going to all this trouble.
    You have to be feminine so a classy skirt or dress with low heels would be my pick. Make sure you wear something you feel comfortable in, that is to say you feel like yourself in. It's not a good time to try something new or unusual to your style or that could come across without you realising.
    Good luck, have fun

    It really depends on where you're going..I'm a more casual person, so I'd wearing something like a cute l/s peasant top, nice dark wash jeans, cute shoes. Maybe (weather changing here) velvet bell bottoms, pretty sweater
    I do like skirts/skorts too.

    If you really like your upper half, make that your visual point and draw all of your attention to your chest and neck. A simple, pretty dress fitted on top and breezy on the bottom with either tights/boots or flats... It's probably chilly there so I know cute flats are hard to find. But good luck and have tons of fun!!!

    This so sounds like: What should I wear on the first day of school.......

    But, I think you should wear something that is already in your closet if you want the guy to like you for you. But I don't know what I'm talked about, only guys who want to date me are the wonderful gentlemen I meet at work (sarcasm).

    Thanks for your advice ladies... I know I'm going to a lot of effort for this, I've liked the guy for a while and now I'm out of a on/off relationship and to be honest I always end up dating guys who I'm already friends with... I think this is my second actual date ever and I'm 20.

    So it kinda is 'what do I wear on the first day of school'... it's all new to me!

    You're right on the wear something I own front. He needs to like me for who I am. You ladies have kinda convinced me what I wear shouldn't be the be all and end all of it... so thanks.
