DRESS FOR SUCCESS

FIVE TIPS ON DRESSING FOR A FIRST DATE:

#1.) DRESS FOR YOUR PERSONALITY. Your clothes should be a reflection of your personality. So it's okay to dress trendy if that's how you are. But don't force it. If you're more traditional, it's fine to dress conservatively.

#2.) THERE IS SUCH A THING AS TOO TIGHT. Ladies, even if you have the body for it, a painted-on shirt and skin-tight pants just isn't the way to go. Leave a little to the imagination. Otherwise you risk looking like you're desperate for attention.

#3.) KNOW THE FINE LINE BETWEEN "CASUAL" AND "SLOPPY." Guys, we know you want to be uncomfortable. But unless the date is a picnic, don't wear the same stuff you would when you're watching the game with your friends.

#4.) PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR SHOES. Women are obsessed with shoes, but this goes for guys too. A lot of times, you're so worried about what you're going to wear on a date, you forget about your feet. But don't just throw on any old pair of shoes.

--It doesn't have to be something super stylish, it's more the condition of the shoe that matters. It's that kind of attention to detail that makes your whole look seem polished and put-together.

#5.) BE SPARING WITH YOUR SCENT. Even if your clothes look great, you'll still make a bad impression if your perfume or cologne is too strong. You want to smell clean, not overpowering. (Match.com)
