What to wear on the First Date I don't want to be over or underdressed for my date. What are some good rules for dressing for a first date? - Annette

You're right Annette, being over or underdressed can really make you feel uncomfortable which is the last thing you want to worry about. When making the attire decision, you want to ask yourself "what outfit or article of clothing makes me feel confident?" If your date entails a physical activity, make sure your sweatshirt is a flattering color and your t-shirt underneath is flirtatious and fun for the beer afterwards. If the date is more like going for coffee, base your decision around what your best asset is. For guys, it might be your shoulders or eyes so wear something that accentuates them and brings them out. For women, it might be your bust-line or legs so play up either of those in a nice way. A mistake people make is over-thinking and over-accentuating. With this, I mean their outfit looks way too planned out or they play up too many areas of their body which leaves nothing kept as a mystery for the second date.
