Whether it’s your first date or your twentieth you want to make sure your look is just right. You spent so much time planning the date that you forgot to plan your outfit and now you’re stuck. It’s too late to go shopping for something new and even if it weren’t you still wouldn’t know what to get; so what now? Go to your closet; I have some tips that’ll help you choose.

First pick out all your favorite garments. This won’t be hard because they’re probably at the front of your closet anyway. From there sort out the pieces that truly look the best. These are the outfits that you received numerous comments about how good you look in them.

This next tip is crucial. You need to choose the pieces you feel one hundred percent confident in; these clothes don’t need constant tugging, adjusting, or cause you to fidget. You can put any of this on and have absolutely no worries about how it looks. You’re certain that you not only look good, but equally feel good, too.  Why is this important? If you’re not comfortable then everything goes downhill from there. You’ll spend the entire date with your mind preoccupied on your outfit and playing out all the worst case scenarios in your head.

By now you should have at least two solid outfit choices to choose from. So how do you choose which one? Well you want to be prepared for whatever kind of date it is, especially if it’s a surprise, so go for the more casual all-purpose look. Not too casual because you want your date to know that you’ve given some effort, but not too dressy either, this isn’t an interview.

Now that you have your cute, comfortable, and confident date look you’re ready for your perfect date. Have fun!
