[Note: Gina, your new wingchick, dispenses some words of wisdom to help you look right on a first date. And ensure they'll be a second.
Because sometimes you just need a girl's perspective...]
Ever hear of the expression a picture is worth a thousand words? Well a first date is a picture that gets left in our minds as soon as we leave you that night. And I’ve got ways to make sure those thousand words include: "sex", "tight ass", "nice chest", and "I hope you’ve got a spare toothbrush!" And it all starts with what you're wearing.
Show up looking like you just came from an IT meeting or a game of half court at the gym, and your chances slim down. Pick us up looking sharp and put together, and our thoughts turn towards how that shirt will look on us while making you coffee the next morning.
1 - The Shirt
Picking a first date shirt is tricky and depends on your individual style. Solids or a pinstripe always work. And are always sexy. The jury has yet to make a unanimous verdict on plaid, but I’m going to say leave it at home just to be safe.
2 - Size Matters
Whether you’ve got on a nice t-shirt or a fancy button down, always make sure it fits right. A lot of guys have a habit of wearing their shirts too long, which looks sloppy, or too short which can result in belly peek. Not ideal if you're not rocking a six pack.
3 - Good Jeans
Just like shirts, your jeans shouldn’t be too tight. Moose knuckle is not a good first date look. Actually it's not a good ANY date look. Wearing nice loose fitting jeans with the low cut waist, can
give your ass a more defined shape. Which, trust me, we'll notice.
4 - Jacket Not Required
Jackets and ties are a toss up. Jackets are increasingly popular, but a lot of guys aren’t wearing the right styles. Stick with a classic cut. And a solid color or sedate pinstripe. Leave the oversized shoulders and loud stripes to NBA stars giving press conferences. (BTW: Come out wearing a tie, loose with an open button, not uptight and "corporate," and we might start thinking off the fun we can have with that later...)
5 - Give Sandals the Boot
Shoes are very important. We can tell a man by his shoes. Please, leave the Birkenstocks, flip-flops, work boots, and sandals at home. It’s not that they aren’t sexy, but just not first date appropriate. You can't go wrong with a really nice pair of sneakers or dress shoes.
Some people say that the moves and lines are what get women into bed. It’s the clothes.
