Clear your schedule for the next few days, for you’re about to spend countless hours playing the dressing game as you rummage through your closet to find the perfect outfit for the occasion.

If the prospect of choosing the perfect dress to make a good first impression on your first date seems pretty daunting to you, you’re not alone. Although they are fun and a great opportunity to introduce yourself to that girl you’ve been crushing on for so long, the stakes are so high on that all-important first date that most of us end up being totally lost and clueless about what to wear.
Whether you’re all about suits and boots or gowns and stilettos, we’re here to help you out for your next fun outing with your partner.
Although admittedly, we ourselves are guilty of emptying the deodorant and perfume bottles before heading out for a dinner date, experts advise against it. While it is generally believed that aromas and scents can be a subtle way for your partner to remember you by, dating expert April Davis believes they can be counterintuitive.

Davis believes that perfumes could end up overwhelming your significant other’s senses and just because you’re into your favorite scent, the same might not be the case for your date too. Since we humans are quite sensitive to smell, do you really want to risk striking out on your first meeting over a poor choice of perfume? We didn’t think so.
When Choosing Shoes, Don’t Skip on Comfort
If you’re comfortable in flats, go for it. If you feel like heels are better suited to your fashion style, who are we to say no? Just make sure to wear something that is comfortable enough for a walk too. Whether you’re grooving at the club or grabbing a bite at a pizza joint, who knows how the evening will end. For all we know, you and your partner could end up walking home arm-in-arm while trading life stories. Now that’s something you definitely wouldn’t want to miss out on just because you wore the wrong shoes.

Going For the Right Fit
Although it goes without saying that wearing clothes that are too tight and uncomfortable might not be the wisest choice, going the opposite route and wearing baggy clothes would be an equally bizarre fashion choice too. At the end of the day, it’s all about wearing something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. That is also the perfect way to look attractive in an effortless way and if you’re not constantly tugging at your way-too-small tee shirt or tight yoga pants, you can be more present and attentive on your special night. Do you, be you.
