What to Wear on a Date

Welcome back to my blog and today is a huge event as I'm starting a new series. I've decided to call it 'The Closet Truth' where I will be talking about certain fashion issues (in terms of outfits etc). For the first of the series, I will be talking about what to wear on a date. 

So, I want to start off by saying that I'm a huge feminist and as a feminist, I don't think we need to get all glammed up for a man- that doesn't mean that he's not deserving of it but simply if he cannot accept you at your worst then surely you shouldn't allow him to see you at your best, right? 

To begin with, let's start off by saying that the whole purpose of a date is to get to know each other and what better way to get to know each other by what you wear. I love to sleep. That's one of the biggest things you need to know about me and rather than tell you that I could always just rock up to a date wearing my pyjamas and honestly, I would very much like to do exactly that just to show you that although it is pyjamas, you can make it look super smart and casual with the way you accessorize it. But when I say pjs, I actually mean a shirt and bottoms not sexy lingerie otherwise he'll get the wrong idea so be careful in what you chose to wear. So, if you're a lover of sleep then I challenge you to wear pjs on a first date with someone. However, if you're not fond of that idea, you could express your feelings in a t-shirt like this one: 

Another great way to express who you are is with slogan shirts and jumpers. I mean, they're cute and funny so why not. You honestly cannot go wrong with some of these! I just think that these sorts of outfits shows that a) you're fun, b) you have a sense of humour and c) you're not being your artificial self. So one of my favourite foods is pizza- I live and breathe that cheesy goodness and if I wore a shirt with a pizza slogan on it, the person I'm with will be more open to what I actually like to eat rather than just guessing. If pizza by itself isn't enough, throw in one of your favourite singers and that there is a conversational starter. 

Naturally I'd say wear something casual, not over the top because you have to remember that it is just a first date and if it is meant to be, it'll be your personality that clicks with him not your outfit. Jeans and t-shirt are what most wear everyday, the way to change that up is by accessorizing it with pieces that makes it look like you're making an effort even if you aren't. 

I kind of miss the old day where men would 'court' a lady for months before finally becoming official. I honestly think that if this person doesn't have to try hard enough to 'get' you then he can just as easily 'lose' interest in you so ladies, please, keep your high expectations and just compromise on minor issues because you deserve the best and you deserve to be treated like a queen. 

Thank for reading and see you next time!
