Howdy!

I was wondering if any ladies could give me advice on dressing to catch your eye.

I don't feel comfortable when all dressed up and well- groomed, but I don' look my best when I dress to be comfortable.

Is it best to make a good first impression or be myself?

Sorry, I know you asked the ladies this question (with good reason) but my own 2 cents worth is be yourself. I too feel extremely uncomfortable dressed up and now make a point of being comfortable rather than ‘over dressed’, even on a date. Then again, I suppose it depends where you're going.

I think my ‘posh’ outfit is black jeans and a black t-shirt, with a decent pair of Duffs on my feet (now a bit worn out, really must get some new ones )

So, be yourself! And depending on if you think you’re gonna get lucky, just make sure your undies don’t have skid marks in them and no holes on your socks

Well,

If you are talking about a date then there are enough things to make you feel uncomfortable than to add what you are wearing into the mix. You should be as comfortable as you can be and if that means not being dressed up to the nines that is O.K.

You will be expected to make some effort though, so making sure you are clean and smell nice is a good start!

If you want to feel more comfortable in 'posh' clothes then maybe you should take to wearing them more regularly. Then when it comes to dressing up for a date you will not feel so uncomfortable in what you are wearing.

I'm with choochi on this one..... smelling nice(which for me is,don't you dare wear LYNX)a fresh, rather than heavy after shave...mmmmmmmmm clean hair and nails, if you're in a mucky job even more so and it is a good idea to get yourself comfortable in the clothing that makes you look good. I'd expect some effort, but that doesn't mean I'd want a guy to be changing his whole way of dressing for me, but make the best of what you have.
I do think when you're newly single it can be quite a shock to be out dating again, and I know for me, I'd always put everyone else first and hadn't even realised that I was wearing very dated clothing so I went through a process of re-inventing myself, and actually enjoyed my changing image, cos it was really for ME!

I wear what I like, generally casual, sometimes smart casual and sometimes I dress up.

I hope this helps.

just remember, you never get a second chance to make a first impression... its so improtant to make the most of your appearance and present yourself as well as possible - especially at the start of dating if you trying to impress...but it doesn't have to be in real stuffy clothes - buy something new a style you like - make sure you're well groomed and show the girl a fantastic time....

Dress to impress!


Knock her socks off (and hope her knickers go with 'em)

I take no responsibility for my postings

i turn into a tart when i have a date... fingernails, toenails...nose hair.. the lot ! i also wear smart casual, maybe a pair of chino's or a good pair of cargo's clean, freshly polished shoes, matching socks ! and generally a shirt of sorts.

Dressing too smart i think can make you look like your trying too hard - unless of course your date is somewhere rediculously expensive (like a certain date that cost me 475 quid up in london)

however... my advise is pretty pointless as i'm single !

One thing a lot of men neglect is shoes. Women like shoes, and like a man to have nice smart clean and shiny shoes. Scruffy shoes could blow it with some women

Also clean hands and fingernails, and trim ear and nose hairs etc.

There is no simple answer to this at all, at the end of the day you have to make your choice and be comfortable with it.

Women, after all, don't come in one variety and so there simply isn't a single answer.

At the end of the day if you don't know what clothes to wear to a date then you probably don't know yourself or your date well enough to meet ...
