“Plus, now that ‘in real life’ dating is back, gone are days we could get away with sweats and comfortable trainers!
“It can be daunting, but it’s time to get dressed up and get back out there.”
Here are her top fashion tips when it comes to dating…
Show off your neck not your chest
Don’t give it all away and find the fine line between sexy and boring.
More on first dates
Show off your neck more than your chest and don’t forget, your date will only really see your top half for majority of the date anyway.
Jeans and a T-shirt is a yes
If you’re going on a more relaxed coffee date, your best fitting jeans and a simple t-shirt or blouse is the perfect combo, whilst keeping you feeling comfortable and confident.
Remember, if you feel confident in your outfit, you will feel 100% ready to take on any date.
Don’t go too complicated
The first rule is make sure you are comfortable.
The clothes shouldn’t be wearing you, and nobody wants to be sat across someone fiddling with their outfit all night.
Keep it simple and wear something you know won’t irritate you the whole time.
If you are going for basics look but want to switch it up, try different necklines or throw in some colour.
A sweetheart shape is also a great first date style.
