First dates can be nerve-racking. And you only make them worse by wearing the wrong outfit. A blogger for howaboutwe.com grilled her guy friends about "first date fashion no-nos," and came up with a handy list of "don'ts" for ladies looking to score a second date.

According to the site, women should NOT wear:

--Anything too revealing. As in, "Short skirts, cleavage-bearing anything."

--Too much makeup. "You might think it looks OK, but guys don’t like to see your face caked in makeup," the site says.

--Uncomfortable-looking shoes. "Do a test before your date -- if you can’t walk normally in them, leave them at home," the site advises.

--A hat. Especially a cowboy hat.

--Anything too dressy. Unless you want him to think you're ready to walk down the aisle.

--UGGs. "This came up a few times," howaboutwe says.

--A huge purse. "They make you look high-maintainence which makes guys think you’re an expensive date blahblahblah, not fair but true," the site reports. What do you think is the biggest first date fashion no-no?

A huge purse

It depends on the type of date it is to be. Dress should be appropriate for the occasion. An oversized bag could give the wrong impression on any date other than a beach or pool event.

I think a woman can look sexy without looking half naked. What cannot be seen is often more intriguing than what can be. Also, I think very loud colors look sort of trashy. I like either black, or earth tones with jewelry that blends with it and intresting shoes.

UGGs

After being divorced & getting back out to date, I was more nervous then when I was a teenager dating. The 1st date with my now husband of 10 years, I wore a pair Levi's A soft black sweater & heeled boots, No skin showing at all. While getting ready I didnt know if it was the right thing to wear, as my older sister said. It really doesnt matter what you have on, the guy is just thinking how hes going to get it off of you, & what you look like without cloths... ( which he may have thought, but didnt happen) PS I picked Uggs Bcz While we all like them, Way to " I Dont care" message, almost like wearing slippers

Anything too revealing

I think they covered everything... "too much" of anything is not good. Anyone should know enough how to present themselves, similarly as they would for an interview. We want to be dressed attractively, yet not so revealing as suggested and also consider where we are going and the climate.

I don't see why many carry those big bags anyway.. I've always carried small shoulder bags that are organized and have a few "evening bags", too. (I think the selection is a bit "out there" these days, but here are some simpler-looking purses).

Too much hootchie mama wear, then too much make-up. Both make a bad combo.
For the guys, combovers are a bad idea, trying to hard to look cool when you are not. Nasty teeth and bad hygiene are mood killers on any date.

This applies to the first date and every one that may follow. Not into a lot of makeup. (Well, one exception.) Uncomfortable looking shoes and a huge purse come next. Beyond these she can wear whatever she's comfortable in. If she decides to wear a hat similar to some of the ones that have been in SH forums the date may start off with me rotfl though.

I recall seeing women wearing high-heels at a place like Disneyland or are dressed lightly when it is too cold.

I had a boyfriend who would say "Bring a little something to wear if it gets cold" and he always had something in his car in case - and was right. (That was one nice thing about him).

reply
Emi to Constan... 2012/05/30 11:08:35

-.-" Going to Disneyland but wearing high heels? OMG, I won't torture myself like this way! Because I have to run and jump there to have fun yeah =D but for sure I will get hurt if I wear like this. Hm, what I think is - wear the most suitable cloths which also suit the place you're going to.
Hehe =D
Btw, your boyfriend was so great. He treated you so well =)
( but I saw you used "past tense" - hmm, probably both of you were over. cheers!)

Constan... to L1 2012/05/30 10:35:14

I have always had them too.. I always wondered how many of those guys were interested because of them or how many jobs I might have gotten partly due to them. (I wasn't flaunting them, either).

reply
L1 to Constan... 2012/05/30 11:18:36

Could be, but I never met any red-blooded man ever interested in my boobs. Not once. Legs, that's another matter. Since I work a job where I have to wear a uniform ( scrubs), that never was a concern for me.
I suppose different men like different things, but showing a body part more than what was is normally expected, can lead to headaches.

True. My experience was, that even if there was no cleavage and not clingy, there was attention and it wasn't like they were gigantic either. Oh, who knows.. men are physically-oriented. We don't go around fixated on their body part.

So do I and though they've garnered negative attention the good has outweighed the bad definitely. They've got me plenty over the years.
