What not to wear on a first date? 12 fits + boost attractiveness tool!

Ladies, let’s get real about first date fashion today! ⚠️

Today we’re talking about what to AVOID wearing when meeting someone special.

While we all want that magical love-is-in-the-air feeling ✨, sometimes our outfit choices can send the wrong message.

No one wants to admit it, but what we think looks gorgeous might actually be creating the wrong impression.

So yea ladies, I’ve gathered 12 outfit elements and tips when it comes to what NOT to wear on a date – pin some of these photos for later reference <3

And I also include the attractiveness boosting perfume at the end of the blog post – enjoy <3!!

1. Wear pastel shades can be a good choice

In a sea of standard blacks, browns, and dark tones, guess how can you give a lowkey “wow” factor and leave a good impression?!

Pastel shades like dusty pink, cream, and lavender! 💕

Choose colors that typical straight guys don’t usually wear – that’s definitely the right approach!

We all understand how colors influence our moods, right? ✨

For first dates, lighter hues are simply magical to look at! 🌸

These soft colors not only enhance your feminine charm but also make your entire appearance more memorable.

Whenever I slip into my pastel purple coat, I instantly feel more vibrant and refreshed compared to wearing a standard black one! 💜

The difference in my confidence is absolutely noticeable – such a mood boster!

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:

Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!

2. DON’T BE TOO OVER THE TOP

Ladies, we all know you’re fashion-forward, but maybe save the full diva aesthetic for later dates during winter

👑 Men might feel a bit overwhelmed and even get intimidated. (depends on the personality)

Showing up in your gorgeous vegan fur and glamorous outfit could come across as slightly intimidating on a first meeting 😅

Beautiful queens, aim for that sweet spot between fabulous style and approachable vibes ✨ Balance is key!

For instance, loving that edgy biker aesthetic?

Instead of going head-to-toe leather and studs, try softening your cool leather jacket with a pretty floral maxi dress 🌸

Those personality-packed combat boots will still show off your amazing style while keeping things wonderfully balanced! 👢💕

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:

Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3

3. Wear red to boost attractive

If you aren’t aware of the red dress effect, well, NOW you know and should harness that! (in case you really like this guy :p)

The red dress effect, is a phenomenon (scientifically proved – for the ones who are curious here’s the study) in which the color red increases physical attraction, sexual desire, and romantic sentiments in comparison to other colors.💖

I truly feel like a body-hugging red dress can be perfect for a romantic date night.💖

Below are two decent and body-flattering dress that truly bring out the femininity and would look good on a wide range of body type <3

The high side split design just draw eyes upwards and make your legs appear to be way taller!

Such an elegant dress – I hope this one is still in stock!

A bodycon dress at its finest – trust me, this is sure to turn heads!!!

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #3:

Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. ❤️

4. Say no to outfits that require constant adjusting 😬

Avoid those pesky outfits that have you constantly fidgeting and adjusting all night long! 🙅‍♀️

Nothing kills the romantic vibe faster than tugging at a too-long cami strap that keeps slipping down your shoulder every five minutes.

Not only does it create an awkward visual (hello, distracted date!), but it completely pulls your focus away from the conversation. 💬

How can you charm him with your brilliant personality when you’re mentally tracking wardrobe malfunctions?

Trust me, ladies – both you and your date deserve better than spending the evening watching you wrestle with uncooperative clothing!

Choose pieces that let you relax, be present, and actually enjoy getting to know each other. ✨

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #4:

Use rolled-up magazine pages to maintain boot shape when storing – truly work wonders imo lol

5. When in doubt, add a belt

For the girlies who wanna stay comfy in boxy fit, I get you.

But what about add a belt to sculpt things out?

Even if you are wearing an off-duty ensemble like a plain tee and A-line skirt, you can instantly glam up your look with a well-fitted trench coat.

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:

Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!

6. Uncomfortable new shoes is a PASS 👠

Those oh-so-sassy stilettos are calling your name for that first date, I get it.

But HOLD UP – cause reality and what you have in mind sometimes just doesn’t match💔

Actually, it depends on the nature of the date.

High heels are totally fine for a fine dining date, especially you commute through Uber.

But for those longer get-to-know-you dates? Your feet will thank you for choosing those cute chunky heels instead! 👌✨

Let’s be real – we’ve all experienced that mood shift when our toes are screaming and we’re doing that painful hobble walk… not exactly the vibe we’re going for! 😩

So yea, remember your outfit formula: equal parts gorgeous AND comfortable!

That way your amazing personality (not your aching feet) becomes the star of the date! 💁‍♀️💖

❤️Girl’s fashion hack #6:

Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!

7. First date essentials

First Date bag essentials lists:

• The Pheromone infused perfume (Amazon Best Seller of all time – it’s scientifically proven babe) – I bought it, tried it, and LOVE it cause it works.
• Lavender scent Facial Tissues (Cause details matter…Trust me on this)
• NYX Vegan Tinted Lip Gloss – Missed Call (Highly recommend the shade – SHEER PINK)
• Fake Cardigan in case you are cold – Trust me, rubbing the shoulder during the date might not be a good look and that definitely will distract you from being present. (Done that, been there)

And please remember, just in case, always share your GPS location with your family and friends. (Please remember ladies.)
