Dressing for Dating

As seen on ezRomance

Dating Tips .. Dress style.

You might have not ever thought about your "dating dress style" but this is 21st century and you need to keep pace with what the world is doing. What is your "dating dressing style" will have a impact on your date.

Remember the taste or nature of your date is very important while you decide that what is appropriate. If your date is serious type, you probably don't want "over power" them too soon. But maybe you do :) First, color and colorfulness is one aspect.

Take pink for instance. For girls pink goes naturally and is associated with "wholesome". While men wearing pink could send different messages (e.g, secure in masculinity, flair for color, daring, etc).

Another color for the dating can be red. Red is the color signifying action, power, passion, romance, sexuality, etc. Again, style of clothing and shoes matters when mixed with color. A woman wearing a fitted low cut red dress in heals is a different message than red turtleneck shirt with a slacks and black blazer.

As mentioned above, style of your clothes on your date matters. We all know sexy, conservative and successful. We also know notice many other things too :). Don't contradict your appear. Too often I hear woman say "he kept looking at my cleavage" and he was rather aggressive for a first date. In some cases maybe that low cut dress or baby-doll shirt was more YOUR fault. If you send a sexual vibe sometimes that is what you get back.

What you choose to wear includes more than clothing. Watches, pens and jewelry can also block getting to know someone. Wearing a Rolex or using a Monte Blanc can be fine -- it's the attitude you hold toward them: Is it important to you that your date notice them, or not?

As you stand in front of your closet deciding what to wear on your date here's a guiding principle you may find helpful: dress in an attractive but not attracting way. Not only does dressing in a manner that de-emphasizes your body, it conveys a confidence that you like who you really are and that there's more to you than meets the eye. And this type of confidence is attractive to others.

While physical attraction and often financial responsibility are important, they alone cannot sustain a lifelong marriage. And they are typically not reliable indicators regarding the potential for lasting love. So, it's key that you and your date get to know each other beyond the superficial before deciding to invest significant time with each other -- otherwise you risk temporarily falling for someone you later realize is not for you.
