CHIC TIPS ON FIRST DATE

5 Simple Chic Rules on What to Wear on a First Date, plus why you should K.I.S.S.

First dates can get you nervous, but planning your outfit doesn't have to be. Follow these 5 simple rules on how to dress for your next date, and  perhaps next thing you'll be planning is your wedding. Maybe. At the very least you'll figure out the formula on how to look amazing, maintain your personal style, and be comfortable. No matter what, just always remember to K.I.S.S.: keep it simple and sweet.

1. Avoid trends, but stick to your personal style
A first date is not the time to experiment with the latest trends, but trust your gut if you want to. You probably want to wait a minute before you bust out in a full runway lewk, but if this date eventually blooms into a relationship, it should be clear that you wear what you want because you want to. Don't dumb down your style for a stranger, but simplify your favorite silhouettes.

2. Comfort is key
My rule of thumb is that most first dates do not require a heel (it's also easier to gauge your height differences in flats). If you feel uncomfortable wearing an outfit in your own home, chances are you'll be tugging at your clothes all night long. A pair of platform are perfectly acceptable, especially if the date's activities are a mystery and you end up on your feet for hours at length

3. Be trendy, but not revealing,  don't give it all away. First impressions are long lasting.

4. Don't overthink it-
Much like life itself, you don't want to overthink it and complicate your outfit with un-necessities. Be simple.

5. When in doubt, wear your favorite things-
If you can't decide what to pick, just wear your absolute favorite items. You'll feel more confident in something you already know and love.
