Like the title said. Can I wear this dress for a first date? I always like to wear dress, i'm very girly. Our first date would be casual, this is a flowy dress. I could be wearing Sandal Heels (types of sandal that still have small heels). What do you guys and girls think? Should i choose another dress option? Please choose in the Poll options, thankyou ;)
You will get opposing opinions on this question. I like to see women embrace and celebrate their femininity, and seeing you in this dress would send a clear message that you are 100% woman. The only concern would be that it might be too dressy for the circumstances of the date. But if a woman had a first date with me, that would be very appropriate.
It's great that you're feminine and like being in that energy, and there's no rule that says what you can and can't wear, but personally I think it's a bit much for a first date.
Unless you're going to a fancy restaurant date or something extravagant, I don't think the dress screams "Let's casually talk and get to know each other."
A first date should be something light and casual and let you talk to the person and get to know them.
I feel like if it were the same dress but with a more flowery print or even a pastel or earthy tone, then yeah that'll be okay but this is a bit formal and I feel like it's too much. I love red, it makes me feel either really sexy or festive, but it will always be a very bold choice.
Yes, wear a nice dress, however you like for the occasion and the venue of where you’re going. Feel yourself, you’re not dressing for him. At first meeting he should see your standards, you set the Halo Effect he follows!
Red is a very strong color in the sense that culturally in the Western world it symbolizes passionate abandon, passion (fiery rage), passion (obsession), alongside seduction, lust, sexual activity, primal urge for red meat, etc. It is generally the color to signify women's empowerment, romance, etc. amongst other notions. If you want to impress as a woman who might be any or some or all of these things at the moment, and perhaps later to, go ahead. I'm letting it be known that a casual dress in red, particularly in American culture, might unintentionally in invite rape even when you did not plan it to be so, because in their subconscious mind, you asked for it. Nonsensical, I know, but irrational thinking never showed itself by the spoken nor written word... only what those males see and presume to be the case of what you're getting at. It's an enactment of their locked away fantasies that is wholly indecent and legally punishable.
In America and much of the Western world, the conservative colors do well in business and first meets and those colors tend to be any hue of blue, gradient of black, or any hue of brown or medium to lighter tinged with brown and yellow (beige), alongside the none color, white.
Dress shirts such as a blouse, tunic, color block, symmetric, and slacks that cover the entire leg are generally safe first date or impression options in America and much of the Western world. Alongside sneakers, dress shoes, espadrilles, etc. shoes that cover most if not all of the foot, too. Hair tied or pinned back is common, as well. Earrings, optional. Necklace, optional. Watch, optional. Less accessories the better. Usually it's best to go in plain (no accessories unless you need you need watch).
In America, the less skin you show, the more conservative, sexually and otherwise you are deemed to be. Again, not rational thinking but it stands to be this way in America and much of Western world and much of the world like Greece, UAE, India, etc.
For the length, texture, and color of your hair and skin, I may suggest a uniform empress style beige dress that goes to your ankles. It can signal romance, propriety, and quiet femininity that is generally non-threatening or excitable to the brain. A Victorian touch that speaks to the predominant Brit ancestry of most Brit Americans and also to the simplicity of German Americans in America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
You may wear kitten heels, low heel (1 inch or lower), or low block heels for this dress. Tie hair up in a med length bun. Add in a white lily or white or pink peony hairpin and a single diamond choker drop gold chain thin necklace and maybe a thin leather ladies watch. Pale pink lip gloss or beige gloss. Eyelash ink is fine. Very light blush, if you want.
You have to dress for your audience. Whether that be your boss, friends, family, etc. if you suspect this man would appreciate this style I suggested, go for it. Otherwise, your call. There is no one size fits all in terms of date taste but you can follow cultural lines.
I mean, if your date likes emo but you're not into emo wear, you don't have to. The inverse is true. You can still have a sense of yourself while dating in dress but be mindful about what is generally accepted on first dates. As you get to know the person, you might change up your style altogether. Who knows. Depends on what you're both comfortable with.
I would say it's generally safe to avoid red until you're engaged, in Americas and much of Western world. It might signal pressure or aggression to the male of these societies.
This is general advice for most women of western world, who aren't fashionista or fashion designers, or interested in fashion either as a hobby or other.
For obvious reasons, unless you're a fashionista or other who knows how to use red effectively in non romantic and non sexual context in western society, avoid it and use it sparingly in marriage.
There is a lot of color psychology that ties into culture, history, and personal experiences that makes the color red a dangerous or riske color in western society. Whereas in other cultures this isn't the case.
You might not understand this... but the colour red is psychologically manipulative towards men. Women don't have the same inbuilt mental conditioning for hunting and danger avoidance men do. Women bleed on a regular basis without wounds and are generally used to the sight of blood. To a man's subconscious though red is a colour that draws their attention whether they want it to or not, since a million years of conditioning has taught them it is dangerous and potentially fatal to ignore the colour red. That is why most prostitutes wear the colour red. It garishly and shamelessly manipulates men. It is a low and deceitful tactic. Be better. Don't do it.
This very much depends on your relationship with the male counterpart. If he’s a friend, acquaintance, stranger, etc. also your age group matters much more than you’d think in this case, but in-all I’d say you look astonishing and he’s a lucky man.
I'm personally a fan of dressing up a little for a first date, however it may depend on the guy you're going on the date with.
For instance, if the place you're going is a very casual place, and HE is also more comfortable in casual attire, he may feel a little mis-matched for the place/occasion.
I think the best person to ask this is the person you're going out on the date with.
Great dress for a first date in general in spring / summer weather. But it depends somewhat on where you're going and what you'll be doing. Drinks and dinner would be a strong yes!
If it makes your first date feel just that little bit more special then go for it. Wear it whenever the occasion is right. And if it is your first date, tell the world to sod off and go enjoy it. Best of British. xx
For me, this dress is simply too big/long for the girl. Doesn't matter if it's a first date or any other occasion (ok, maybe a funeral if it were black).
