  • What to wear on a date

    What to wear on a date

    A DATE is exciting. But one of the biggest issues for a date is deciding what to wear.

    Getting the right dress for a date can put a lot of pressure on you. Here are some tips to help you decide how to dress as well as to make up for different types of dates.

    Black is the easiest and safest of colours, and this season we have a lot of hues to experiment with such as olive green, pink, seductive purple and grey or harsh.

    Patent is a finishing touch that needs to take  a centre stage, so keep the rest of your outfit simple. It pulls an outfit together in a way that makes it look effortlessly stylish and very classy.

    For daytime: Consider wearing something a little more casual. Often times daytime dates are meant to alleviate some degree of anxiety.

    I recommend a subtle bag with jeans and shirt dress or a cute skirt with a nice top as well as some accessories to top it up. For a date that involves a lot of walking, go for flat shoes that will keep your feet snug when walking long distances. Light make-up will do.

    39, 40, 41 TREND 25-4-15.For evening time: This calls for something a little bit dressier than your daytime garb; go for a classic cut LBD or better still a pair of flirty pants or a skirt; a sleek clutch purse and sexy metallic pump or patent heels would be perfect. Faint make-up with some shimmering effects is a great option for elegant dining. Add drooping earrings like chandeliers to sexify you.

    ALL WHITE: Colours are synonymous with fashion, though a specific colour rules per season, but in all, the white colour stands the test of time as the all-season colour, be it for a night gig or day-time event. It never goes out of the fashion scene, no matter how many new ones emerge.

    Vivid print: This is a print that is now firmly entrenched in many men’s wardrobes. Utilizing prints across shirts, tees and trousers is the order of the day.

    Jackets- blazers, suits and waistcoat: Among fashionable men, two, three or single button blazers are receiving the  attention now.

    Smartly sown blazer jackets of any colour or design are now worn on jeans trousers and mostly without ties, although they could also be worn with ties. And the reason may be because they are suitable for both formal and informal outings. It is perfect for today’s men who do not always want to dress up for all formal outings. Dressing casually cool, especially with any of these blazers, is one way to keep you from looking shoddy.

    Pastels: Men have been free to experiment with a variety of hues that were previously deemed out of bounds. Pastels have been a prime beneficiary of this new, more liberal attitude, becoming the go-to palette for men, looking to introduce subtle colours to their warm-weather looks.

Men also try as much as possible to look great and glamorous so as not to be left out in their world. This makes fashion interesting since both parties want to look gorgeous everywhere.
