How to Dress on a Blind Date

To make sure your blind date is a success you must feel comfortable about what has happened and what will happen. The impression you make when you first walk into the room will set in motion the entire evening’s comfort level.

In order to make a good first impression, there are several things to consider when dressing for a blind date. Some of these tips could make or break your attempt to make a good first impression.

First of all, dress for whatever you are going to be doing. If you are going to be outside, you are going to want to dress accordingly and wear what is appropriate for the weather. Also, even if your date is mostly indoors, take appropriate items for the weather. If your date wants to take a romantic stroll and it’s cold outside, you want to be prepared and have a coat on hand. No one wants to have their date shivering all night because they left their coat at home on a cold night. That would leave your date wondering why you didn’t think ahead and bring a coat, thereby giving a poor first date impression.

Also, try to keep in mind how you want to be portrayed. If you want to appear to be a certain way, whether traditional, romantic, sexy or classic, you should dress that way. If you don’t wear something to accurately portray your personality and desires, there is a chance that you aren’t going to come off the way you want to. This is because on a blind date, since you’ve never met before, this will be the first glimpse you’ll get to see them and figure out who they are and what they are like. Dress as yourself, but also dress as you want others to see you.

Remember that it is most important to dress appropriately for the date. If you are going to a swanky restaurant, make sure that you dress accordingly. Ask your date what kind of restaurant you’ll be going to. The same goes for anything else you are planning on doing on your date. This is the first time they are going to see you, so make it count. You want to give the best first impression possible.
