It is said that first impression is the last impression. Appropriate attire, good grooming, and fashionable style can really impress someone on a first date, and may be the make-or-break factor regarding how they would feel about a second date. Here are some tips to help you look your best when trying to impress. Best way to find out what outfits, make-up, and fashion choices look best on you is to keep track of what your friends, family, and co-workers are saying about you. If your best friend keeps commenting about how good you look when you wear a particular color, make note of that and wear that color on your date. Don’t wear brand new shoes or an outfit you are not comfortable in as new shoes have the potential to really hurt your feet if they are not broken in properly and, if you are continually adjusting your tie or collar because you are not comfortable in a suit, you will turn off your date. Avoid heavy make-up and outrageous outfits, they take away from who you really are and your natural beauty. Don’t try to be too trendy; you may not be able to pull it off. If you want to experiment with your look, do it before the date and get feedback as to whether or not the look works for you. Over-dressing is as bad as under-dressing, if not worse. With men, it is harder to over-dress than with women. I doubt there are many men how would willingly always wear a three-piece suit when going on a date, unless it is a business meeting or a very formal show/dinner. With women however, there is a tendency to go overboard with clothes, accessories and makeup. It is important to always have a good posture. Stand up straight with your shoulders back, tummy and butt tucked in. Not only is this good for you from a health perspective, it also makes you look taller, slimmer and more confident.
