By the way, stay till the end and download the free download to boost your success rate.

That questions list can make your bonding with your date WAY DEEPER.

Whether you are a gal or a guy reading this, you will need that!

1. Don’t want to dress too sexy

When it comes to a blind date, there are just too many uncertainties. Even if you know him through your friend’s introduction, admit it, all you know is his name, job title, and height.

So if you are tempted to dig out your show-stopping bodycon dress on a blind date, HOLD ON sis.

Dressing sexy on the first date just easily lets others think you are trying too hard and desperate – even if that’s not your true intention.

What you should do instead is keep your outfit classy yet casual on the blind date so he will feel more comfortable interacting with you.

Think of a chiffon midi shirt dress or a cozy cable knit sweater dress that looks cute yet approachable.

2. Wear pastel shades on a casual blind date

So here’s one of the most asked questions: What color should I wear for dating?

While there are no specific dos and don’ts, wearing pastel hues can definitely make you stand out from the crowd.

According to color psychology, pastel shades evoke openness and relaxation and make you appear to be more likable and lovely.

In the meantime, if you’ve heard of the red dress effect, you may want to avoid wearing a sexy red bodycon dress to a blind date.

According to science, women in red are perceived to be more sexually appealing – in other words – you look like you are more open to sex.

I won’t say a red dress is a big no-no, but just a little reminder that it can send out the wrong signal.

3. Wear a peplum dress to hide the belly

So you are having a lunch bumble date and you are looking for a forgiving dress that can hide your belly completely.

Well, you just can’t go wrong with a peplum dress.

Featuring a stripe of flared cloth gathered around the high waist area, it just hides your belly like magic.

So yes, if you want a dress that can fake an hourglass figure and feel the most confident, this type of dress will play the trick.

This is the type of dress that screams feminine vibes. The collar details just look so polished.

Sexy off-shoulder and peplum flare? You just can’t look more put together.

4. Blouse + pants as a chic girl look

If you’re the type of lady that dreads wearing a dress, no worries, you can always choose dressy separates!

A crisp white shirt and forgiving paper bag pants just look simple yet tasteful.

Together with a pair of nude pumps, this boss lady look is a 10/10.

5. Wear a cute jumpsuit for a casual summer blind date

For an outdoor summer blind date, a jumpsuit is always perfect.

Featuring the gorgeously lightweight fabric and high waist design, this is how you stay comfy yet flattering.

If you want to accentuate your figure, wearing a belt can always give you that little boost!

6. Wear a sweater dress to a winter blind date

Well, surprise surprise, a body-fitting sweater dress is highly desirable in men’s eyes.

While a bodycon dress looks too sexy and gives out that clubbing feel, a sweater dress can showcase your curves in an innocent way.

Together with the knee-high boots, you’re bound to make him weak at his knee.

Below I’ve handpicked two best-selling pieces from Amazon. Enjoy!

7. What coat to wear on a blind date?

If you want to look put together on a winter blind date with minimal effort, throw on a structured long coat and Viola – you look effortlessly polished and smart.

Again, I gravitate towards the coat with light and neutral colors like beige, dusty pink, or light grey.

I personally do think it just makes you look more feminine than a “play safe” black coat!

8. Wear comfy and aesthetic shoes to a blind date?

So you’ve pinned down your outfit, it’s time for shoes. Unless you are going on a fine dining blind date, otherwise, let’s not torture yourself with the 10 cm stilettos.

We all know how the shoe pain can turn us into a grumpy bitch aren’t we?

Plus, if you don’t know how tall that guy is, you better avoid the super-high heels (Just to play safe).

To fully enjoy the time, go for the low-heel pumps or dainty embellished flats that make you feel the comfiest.

If you want to elongate your legs more, pointy-toe shoes can always do the trick!

9. Wear structured bag as a confidence boost

If you want to finish your look on a dressier end, avoid wearing a tote bag as it just looks too casual.

Instead, go for a structured bag or clutch to elevate your look!

10. Wear pheromone perfume on a first blind date

Wearing pheromone perfume to a blind date is totally optional.

But that said, if you want to appear to increase the appeal and romance in front of your date, that can be a really useful tool.

I’m sure you already know the science behind pheromone so I’d recommend you check out this Amazon bestseller and read all the juicy before and after stories in the reviews!
