If you’re the type of woman or man who stands hours in front of the mirror trying to figure out what to wear on a first date, then you’re at the right place, the right time, reading this blog. After hours of endless conversations with both sides (men and women accordingly), regarding what they’d like to see the opposite sex wearing on their first date, I’ve ended up with a few safe conclusions that I’d like to share with you, with a single hope to make your lives easier. In a nutshell, men and women alike tend to prefer that their date follow the KISS principle when getting ready for a date. In other words, Keep It Simple, Stupid. Both parties agreed that their date should be extra clean and perfumed (not too much though), full of confidence and extra charms; and effortless! And by effortless, we mean the apparel you would pick for an afternoon walk with a friend. Yes, you read right! Especially when it comes to men, they adore sneakers and casual clothing as they say a woman is sexier when her getup looks effortless. Women, on the other hand, tend to have an obsession with men’s T-shirts and statement tees! Who could ever decode a woman’s mind really… I’ll try, however, to become clearer by giving you a picture of a woman’s ideal dating outfit (as described by men) and then a man’s complete look as seen from a ladies’ microscope. 

I’ll start with men and what they expect to see us wearing on a first date. They say men are simple creatures and I tend to believe that; Most of my male friends when asked about their favorite women’s outfits they all picked denim as their preferred pants! As they stated, denim better shows a woman’s body and curves, so it’s considered to be very sexy. One of my friends said: “I wish every woman I met wore denim; I would finally get rid of all the formal wear I keep in my closet as a sealed secret”. Also, denim shows you ladies aren’t trying too much to impress us and in a guys’ world this stands for confidence- too sexy to resist, another one said. Then, I asked them which denim, (I needed to know as you can see!) and all of my male friends were showing me bright colored jeans, like the Splatter Paint 5-Pocket Skinny Jean by Nine Days with sexy splatter details and multiple functioning pockets. Got the point! Denim needs to be simple and bright colored, but not the same applies to top, I have to say! Almost all of them liked to see some skin coming out, especially if this skin would be from the cleavage. What a surprise! However, the younger and fashionable ones picked cropped tops as the best complementary outfit to a denim. Something, bright, youngish and sexy, showing off some skin, they confessed. From what I get, Designs Box Crop Top by Stussy and DrJays is the ideal garment for those of you ladies who want to be very close to the guys’ standards. Last but not least, shoes should be sporty and trendy at the same time. They said they would be overwhelmed if a woman picked the “right” shoes to wear plus she would get extra points if those shoes were bold and out-of-the ordinary. I literally impressed them when I showed them the Gazelle Og Wc Farm W Sneakers by Adidas with their oh-so-lovely floral print and self-tie lace closure. Now, picture the outfit and if you miss something, here’s a hint: go get it asap from DrJays using Couponology’s 15% Off Exclusive DrJays.com Promo Code for extra savings!

Next, is ladies turn. My friends and I have decided that we no longer want to see a man overdressed or too formally dressed just because he looks sharp in tuxedo and suits. Instead of that, we prefer him plain and sexy as he goes to the gym, but without the sweating! This breathtaking conclusion came out on a sunny day and after hours of guys’ checking out… So here it is (drum roll sound effect)! This is the ultimate outfit for every guy who doesn’t want to return at his place alone: statement T-Shirt, loose pants and sneakers. I call them lethal weapons as they will always manage to make you fall for the guy wearing them at a single glance! Make a daring statement and you have nothing to be afraid of; take as an example the We Own The Night T-Shirt by Vampire Life. You can keep the black color as a basis (we won’t tear you apart from your big love), and add some purple in the center, girls love to see you in color! Logo T-Shirts make you look young spirited and confident, as bold shoes do on us ladies! Moreover, you need sport pants to create the impression you’re working out, even if you don’t that often; nothing could ignite our imagination more. Choose bright colored pants to make a contrast with the black T-Shirt, like the Brooklyn Nets Tip Pant – details like these matter to us. Finish off your looks with athletic sneakers like the Superstar 2 Sneakers and she’ll definitely get excited with you!

Having both outfits styled up, I hope this time you’ll spend less time in front of the mirror… if not, you can always check out some of DrJays new arrivals accompanied with Couponology’s discounts for successful dates on a budget!
