What to Wear on a First Date For Women

If you are getting ready for your first date, you want to know what is the best outfit to wear on a first date. Generally, it will depend on the venue of the date, the time of day and what you feel like wearing.

Obviously if you are meeting at a fine restaurant you should dress appropriately. I suggest that if you are not familiar with the place, do a search online to find the restaurant's website and call them up to see what acceptable dress code is for that place. If the place is classy, I suggest wearing a cocktail dress. Whether you are meeting at the bar or your date has made table reservations, a cocktail dress is appropriate for each of those two occasions.

If you are meeting at a coffee shop, Starbucks for instance, you can wear a more casuual outfit. Obviously high heels and a cocktail dress would look silly at a coffee shop. Jeans and a nice blouse are more acceptable, although I suggest that if you want to really impress your date you should meet him at a nice place where you can wear an outfit that really shows your femininity.

Sometimes people meet at odd places for a first date, such as a hiking trail or a park. If that's where you are going to meet your date, make sure you dress comfortably since your date warrants a lot of walking. Jeans, a comfortable shirt and tennis shoes would be your best bet in this situation.

I have had first dates at a tennis court, a swimming pool and other strange places, so always determine where you are meeting and dress appropriately. The most important thing to remember is you want to be comfortable in whatever you are wearing. Your clothes should fit you just right, not too small and not too baggy.
