With Valentines Day just around the corner, it’s time to start prepping the ultimate outfit for your date.  First impressions are everything!
Here are my top tips on how to look good:
-
Ensure the outfit fits the purpose of the date
Select an outfit that suits the occasion. If you are going out in the day that is less formal, then wear an outfit that is smart/casual. If you are going out for an evening meal, then the outfit needs to step up to a more smarter outfit.
Before – my client is wearing an outfit in the day, which is too formal in colour and look. Also the clothes are too baggy.
2. Be yourself
Wear clothes that show off your personality. Image is a form of communication – let your date see who you truly are. Do not choose an outfit because it looks good on the mannequin, or seen on someone else, the outfit needs to reflect you.
-
Make sure the outfit fits well
There is nothing worse than wearing baggy clothes; looking like sloppy joe.  To look good in an outfit, the garments need to skim the body – not too tight or baggy.  Whatever your size, show off your shape.  It also looks like you have bothered.
After – A great outfit that reflects my client’s personality, is modern and a great fit.
-
Be modern and up to date
Your date will sum you up in seconds. Ensure that your overall look, including your hair and accessories are modern and up to date. Examples are: a current hair cut, (no hairspray) modern clothes (not from the 80’s) not forgetting the shoes.
-
Don’t over do it
There is nothing worse than trying to over do it. Wearing a white suit, blingy tie, short red dress, showing lots of cleavage, lots of make-up, and covered in perfume is not a good idea. Your date will be concentrating on what you are wearing (in the wrong way) instead of listening to what you are saying.
After – a great example of an evening outfit. He looks smart, handsome, happy with his lady love. The idea was to slim the top half and shorten his long legs to balance.
-
Go for kinder colours
Choosing the correct colours for the date is key. If you want to impress your date, it is not a good idea wearing black from head to toe, or wearing harsh, serious colours.  You want to come across as kind, approachable and trustworthy – so wearing softer colours like pink, lilac and grey (if you are cool) and off white, aqua and natural colours (if you are warm) will make a massive difference.
-
Make an effort
Impress your date and think of the basics. I know it sounds silly, but not a lot of people think of little things like: having a shower, washing hair, blow drying and putting some product in to finish off your style. Wearing clean clothes that are pressed and pristine. Smooth skin with applying a moisturiser and light perfume.
-
Smile and be confident
Stand up tall, look confident and smile. Look at your date in the eye and give them a big happy smile. It’s easy and makes a massive difference. You might be shaking inside, but learning how to calm your body down, breathe and relax will help. Most of all, enjoy your time together and have fun.
