A date he will never forget

An outfit for a date is something that can cause a lot of anxiety, especially if you're a girl like me who tends to over think absolutely everything.

In my opinion, the best outfit for a date is one that is sexy, yet sophisticated. One of the most common mistakes that girls make when dressing for a date is that they chose outfits that are too revealing. For example, they'll go for a low cut shirt, or a skirt that is a little too short.

Now don't get me wrong, I know a date is a big deal (especially with the college boys that we are forced to deal with). It's understandable for a girl to want to look hot not only to impress the guy, but also as a way to boost her own confidence level.

However, what many girls fail to realize is that when you lay all of your cards out on the first date, you are already putting yourself at a disadvantage because you aren't leaving anything to the imagination. Besides, you shouldn't have to exploit your body parts to get a guy interested in you. You can do that with your charming personality.

One of my favorite colors to wear on a date is black. It's sophisticated, elegant and slimming. Try to pick an outfit that accentuates your curves. This allows you to show off some sex appeal without going over board.

Also, make sure you're dressing appropriately for the weather! If it's 60 degrees outside, please don't show up to your date in a mini skirt. You might as well skip the date and go straight back to his place because that outfit choice screams "take me home," not "get to know me."

Instead, try pairing a cute pair of skinny pants with a chic sweater. Skinny pants are usually tighter so they will highlight your curves, and the sweater will show that you're not trying too hard to impress. Plus, it's cute!

The last thing you'll want to think about are your accessories. The great thing about wearing black is that you can choose any color for your accessories and they will be sure to pop. I love gold accessories, but any color will do. Some dangling earrings, a little purse, and some fun wedges are the last things you'll need for your outfit to be complete.

This ensemble is sure to make a great first impression because it will show that you have class and confidence, and that you're worth asking on a second date. It will also ensure that your guy is focusing on what's coming out of your mouth instead what's under your shirt.
