It's not easy to get to know someone in just one day. But, a first date is all about making a good impression. That's why it's important to dress accordingly. There are many things that your outfit can reveal about you, so you should always be conscious of what you wear on your first date.

Wearing something more casual, such as a T-shirt and jeans, may send the message that you're laid back and comfortable around strangers; wearing something fancier may send the message that you want to impress them by splurging on expensive or unnecessary attention.
Sweatpants
If you wear sweatpants on your first date, do you even want to date or you’re just really bored of having dinner alone? This shows that you are looking for something way too casual. You are creative, and brave, and you don’t adhere to the pressure of the masses.
Blazer
You are either really committed to finding the one and you’re not gonna risk your chances, or you have a business meeting at 6 pm and a date at 8 pm, there’s no in-between. You are a very determined person who likes to express your values and what you believe in.
Your lucky T-shirt
Sure, it may be worn out, but hey, if it helps you score. You want to be perceived as someone who is chill and doesn’t put much effort into it, but let’s not kid ourselves, we already know that you laid out this T-shirt on your chair the night before. As much as you don’t want to show it, you do care about other people’s opinions of you.
Maxi dress
You already know the drill, this is not your first rodeo. A maxi dress is a medium effort on a scale of 1-10. You are not one to have high expectations and like to go with the flow. Horrible date? At least you’ll be comfortable. Bonus points if the dress has pockets.
So, what will you be wearing tonight?
