How To Dress For A Date: Men's Edition

There are so many resources for women that help with fashion, but what about men? Men need help with what to wear too! We know you haven’t been on a date in a while due to the pandemic, so you might not know what to wear when dating. Here are a few tips to help you get started on the perfect dating fashion for men!

Tip #1: Comfort is Key

Everyone is always going on and on about how comfort is key… but it’s true! Of course you want to look amazing, and there are so many ways to do that while still being comfortable. The most important thing on a date is being confident, so how can you be confident if you’re not comfortable? On a first date it’s especially important to feel comfortable because you’re probably really nervous. This isn’t the time to break in those new shoes or test out the new pants you just got. Stick to your trusty shoes you’ve been wearing. Just not your super raggedy old sneakers, you still want to look put-together! On a date you want to feel confident and comfortable to be yourself and get to know the person you are out with, wearing clothes that fit right and are comfortable will help you be confident in yourself and the date!

Tip #2: Work With Your Best Colors

Everyone has colors that look amazing on them and brighten their skin, and everyone has colors that drain them of life… Stick to the ones that make you glow when going on a date! If you have no idea what your best colors are, hire a personal stylist to help you figure it out! Menswear can be so boring. It’s always the boring baby blue button down and plain boring colors. Who even knows if those colors look good on you! This is your chance to find out what colors really make you shine and stand out!

Tip #3: This Is Time To Be “Too Much”

What even is “too much?” Looking your best and popping off? That's what we want! Don’t be scared of what anyone else thinks, if you feel good that's all that matters. When you’re on a date, they want to see who you are and they want to see you looking and feeling your best. They want to see you trying! Toning yourself down doesn’t serve you. Dress up for your date! You don’t want to show up to your date in jeans and a tee shirt, and have your date coming all dressed up looking amazing. Dress up, look and feel amazing; it will only help you on your date!

Tip #4: Details Go A Long Way

While you’re getting dressed for your date, look out for small details. They add intrigue to your look and can help start up conversations. Small details can help show off your personality and can help show that you're not boring, because menswear can be really boring and basic. You can do this by adding a pocket square, unique jewelry, or some cool shoes. Being aware of and adding cool details will help you stand out and shine on your date. It will also show that you care and spend time thinking about the date!

Tip #5: The Go-To Look

If you still have no idea what to wear, here is a basic go-to look that will always serve you on a date. Always go for a sports coat, suit, or blazer depending on the setting. This is a clean look for a man going out. You will always look put together. Don’t forget to choose a coat that you're comfortable in! If you're wearing a blazer or sportcoat, pair it with cool shoes as a small detail that will help you stand out. If you're wearing a suit, add unique jewelry that helps your personality shine through. Always make sure what you’re wearing makes you feel confident!

While dating you always want to present the best you while still feeling like yourself. By following these tips you will be comfortable and show off your personality on your date while still looking amazing!
