The truth is she will have that expectation, but rather than focus on your physical aspects (as you’ll no doubt focus on hers), she’ll likely pay more attention to how your clothes look. This is where a lot of guys let themselves down by choosing the wrong gear – it either doesn’t suit them or fit them so they don’t look their best, or it sends the wrong message – something like “my Mother still buys my clothes”!
How to impress
OK, so how does a guy choose the right clothes to look his best? Well, luckily, it’s easy to find the answer – just go to your local mall, walk into good clothes shop, find a sensible-looking assistant & ask her!
Sounds easy? Well it is, except that you’ve got to know what you want to look like – so you need to do a bit of research and understand some basic rules before you walk in the shop.
First of all decide on how formal you want to look – a suit is probably too much unless you’re going to the most expensive bar in town with the most expensive date AND you can afford it! At the other end of the scale, throwing on a t-shirt & a pair of tatty jeans won’t get you past the door of the restaurant or her front door either!
So here are some ideas to keep it simple without bankrupting you at the clothes store. I’ll show you how you can wear the same outfit but vary it according to how formal the occasion is.
Shirt
A button shirt is your friend – have a variety of styles & make sure you can wear them with an unbuttoned collar for the casual look. Tailor-made shirts are the best since they fit you properly – not baggy and not too tight. Until recently, I had never considered this as an affordable option but then I found http://www.bestcustomshirt.com/ Their Giorgenti range of shirts can be ordered via their website. You specify your measurements and the shirt arrives a few weeks later and I can testify that it fits beautifully!
Trousers
The lower half is even easier as only two styles of trousers are required – jeans & a dressier pair of pants. This is where you need your friendly shop assistant to help you choose the right style that suits your body shape & looks good with the shirt you’ve got.
Accessories
No I’m not talking about earrings and nose-studs! Shoes are just as important as the shirt & trousers since they finish off the look. Leather is essential, nothing else will do. Choose trendy casual shoes to wear with your jeans and smart black dress shoes to wear with your pants. Good quality shoes are expensive but they’ll last & won’t go out of fashion.
A belt can smarten up that pair of dress pants, and some good quality aftershave will send her all the right signals about what a quality guy you are. Our sense of smell is very powerful which is why you should always aim to smell good. However, less is more. No need to splash it all over, remember that a little goes a long way, so put some on your neck and your chest.
Finishing touches
Finally, don’t overlook the small stuff. Until you know what she likes, play it safe and go clean shaven, brush your teeth and floss too. Tidy up your hair – freshly washed will do – and clean your nails. You’re trying to look classy, not dirty! Finally, keep the jewellery to a minimum, a watch or a ring is OK, but you don’t want to have more bling than your date!
Most women would agree that less is more when making a good first impression. It’s not hard and you don’t need to have a wardrobe full of suits, just a few well-chosen shirts & a couple of pairs of pants will give you all you need to make a great first impression. Remember also to smell good and pay attention to the details. Follow this advice and you’ll never have a Saturday night alone again!
