Lauren8785 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 I went on a few dates before. Dressed in a cute shirt and capris. To me I don't think that is dressing bad. The outfit looks cute to me. But I don't think guys want to see a girl in a t-shirt and capris the first time, right?? I think guys expect the lady to be dressed nicer, and look sophisticated correct?? A long time ago some friends pointed that out, saying that could be a reason the date didn't work out. Not that I dress bad, but it could improve. The thing is I just never feel comfortable wearing V-necks or really cut low tops. It just makes me feel very exposed and I don't like that. Plus to me it doesn't look right on me. I'm not big into fashion or anything, so I am totally clueless there, but I do think I should dress nicer if I want to attract a man. Any tips or places where I can go online to find something cute, yet fashionable??? Not a big fan of dresses either. I watch that tv show "What not to Wear," and try to go by there methods or rules of fashion. Link to comment
annie24 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 i think capris and a t-shirt is probably just fine for a first meet. especially if it's a cute t and capri, not anything old or grungy. i don't think guys would really have clothes as a dealbreaker, that makes no sense to me. i don't think most heterosexual men care so much about clothes that it would make or break the date. more likely, maybe some other factors went into it, maybe they didn't feel compatible, for whatever reason. i think the t and capris is good for a daytime date, not so good for say a dinner date at a fancy restaurant. i definitely agree with dressing in a way you feel comfortable and is size appropriate.

balletkitten Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Go with what's comfortable. It's more your personality and aura that he'll be attracted to than your clothes. If you feel comfy in them, you'll be more apt to be your wonderful self. Do you watch "What not to Wear?" I LOVE that show. The clothes are usually dressier, but they do give good ideas. If you want, you can spiff up a t-shirt and capris with a pretty necklace and bag or something. Link to comment
jenny_mcs Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 A t-shirt can go either way- and grungy one with a frayed neck - no. But a cute one can look fine. I think capris and a casual shirt, along with cute shoes and earrings and/or necklace can look nice. Link to comment
Incognito_Squito Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Personally, i like it when a girl wears a t-shirt on the first date. Girls who dress up for a first date (especially if its something casual like meeting for coffee) tend to give off the impression of being high-mainenance. Link to comment
annie24 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 but some guys like high maintence, and that's ok. imagine a man like donald trump - he seems to like the polished looking ladies. but if you're trying to attract a more down to earth guy, then ts and capris is good. just depends on who you are and what you are trying to attract. i like to dress kind of basic, with an artsy flair. like adding a funky scarf or earrings to an otherwise simple outfit.

Lauren8785 Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hmm. Maybe your right. Because I dress what I feel is comfy and cute in. I don't think I need to go all out glits and glam because that is not truly me and I don't want to give a fake impression but I do want to look nice/r without being way out of my bounds.

Yeah your probably right. It does seem a tad dumb to make or break a date over clothing. Link to comment
