There are three key ingredients for a successful date night outfit: 1. Comfort 2. Personality and 3. Identity. If you don’t feel comfortable in your outfit, how are you supposed to feel comfortable with your date? Reduce the anxiety and wear something that makes you feel good. Don’t be afraid to share your personality, wearing a specific item of clothing that reminds you of a fond memory or is representative of you can make for a good conversation starter and gives your date an easy icebreaker. Make sure you are dressing for yourself and wearing clothing that makes you feel beautiful. If your outfit is fashionable or trendy but you don’t feel like yourself in it, then it’s not date-worthy. Your date is there to get to know YOU, so show ’em who you really are!
