Women who are in this phase of dating, flirting, dating and dating, know how difficult it is to choose clothes, shoes, accessories, makeup and everything else that involves the production of a look for the first date.
Unlike men who only think about what they are going to wear on the day of the date, many women prepare well in advance for the event. It’s depilation, hydration, manicure, pedicure, dye… and so many other processes that cost money and our precious time.
Only with beauty preparation is it possible to spend “a note”. See: leg, bikini and armpit hair removal R$60, manicure and pedicure R$30, hydration R$25 (average prices) which together cost more than R$100 for just 1 date.
What clothes should I wear?
Apart from beauty treatments, women are also concerned about the clothes they will wear. “What clothes should I wear?” is probably the phrase most heard by friends of those who are getting ready for a first date.
In an attempt to help, the friends are willing to go shopping with the one who is going to meet, or even lend a look for the friend to “shake” at the first impression.
But calm down. All this doubt and difficulty can be minimized when you keep in mind some aspects that you should analyze when choosing the complete look. Weather, time and place of the meeting are determining factors for your look.
An important tip is not to completely change your style to go on a first date. But why? First, because unless you’re really changing your style, on the other dates it’s going to be hard to keep that new style that you just adopted for the first date and that’s going to be awkward. Keep your style, don’t be ashamed of the way you dress. Second, because you need to know if he’s going to like you for who you really are, and that’s going to be difficult if you’re looking like someone else. So be true to yourself.
