Fashion Tips 

The fashion trends 2022 have dished up a lot of great trends, with ‘Dopamine Dressing’, being at the forefront. This trend is all about mood-boosting colors, and so, if you want to really make a splash, think about working in some bright color clothing to your outfit.

Or, at the very least, add a pop of bold color to your outfit through an accessory to a muted or darker outfit. Wearing color suggests confidence, and that’s key on a first date. The rule for dressing for a first date is pretty simple. Wear your personality, be casual but not too informal, and stay comfortable. More so on coffee dates.

Go for something breathable, airy, and effortless is an excellent place to start. Opt for joggers or side-striped pants that have taken over the fashion world, tuck in a plain T-shirt, and complete the look with white Converse shoes.

Jeans, a casual T-shirt, and a layer on top is fail-proof too. Put your hair up in a bun, half-bun, or a messy ponytail. Go for nude lipstick and neutral makeup. Throw on a pair of oversized glasses to complete the look.

In our experience, a casual date’s vibe can be more difficult to strike than one that veers more on the fancy side for one reason: the fear of feeling overdressed. To keep it as simple as possible, opting for a casual dress is the easiest and best bet.

You’ll feel date-ready and like the event is a little special, but it won’t look like you tried too hard. The best part? It’s a one-and-done look, so your pre-date stress will be kept to a minimum.
