What to wear on a casual date for the first time?
Posted: 8/12/2009 2:44:07 PM
I feel dumb for asking this...but I am a t-shirt and jeans/shorts type of person. Sometimes I wear a hat too. Should I just dress like I normally would...or try to dress up a little. Seems like the girls I date get so dressed up..fix there hair, wear cute shorts, etc I feel like I should put more effort.

I usually just wear jeans/t-shirts. Mostly depends on what you are doing on your first date. If it's a casual one...I'm pretty sure that jeans/t-shirt would be okay. You should fix up your hair and make sure you're pretty much presentable...

If you feel like you should put more effort (and it's a good thing) then you should. You don't need to drees completely differently otherwise you won't feel like yourself, but do dress up a bit. Wear your better pair of jeans.
I don't mind when a guy wears a t-shirt, but I don't like if that t-shit went through a 1000 wash and dry cycles. I don't mind sneakers, but please - clean sneakers.

I would say....be respectful of her...honor the occasion to the extent of showering and maybe putting on a polo in place of a tee. Remember you are creating a first impression, and there are indeed plenty where you came from.

At the same time, don't be completely untrue to yourself. Overdoing dressing up will both make you uncomfortable and present a false impression, which will lead to problems down the road.

I agree with getting dressed a little, but not too much. I normally wear Jeans and a nice shirt, but make sure your jeans are clean and not have a billion holes in them. Although one occasion a girl i dated had lots of holes in her jeans. Told me that was the style.

Just wear what you usually wear... that's what I do. Never had any complaints. I like it when a guy wears his usual clothes around me (so long as they're basically decent, lol)... makes me feel that he's comfortable around me.

It depends where you are going. Personally for me, when I was meeting people from here, I made sure it was casual. A place where we could both go comfortable like the clothes you are discussing. I never try to over do it or whore it out for a first meet ~ I save that for the hot date...:) Just tell them up front to go comfortable. I am not talking like you just stepped out of a double wide trailer, but not to overdo it.

Oh please dont wear the hat!
Unless it is winter and you really need the toque!
Jeans and teeshirt is fine, as long as not sloppy, dirty and smelly from work or no wash.
A long sleeve shirt over jeans would also be dashing.
Shower, look fresh, spray on a little cologne and SMILE alot, all that would be great.

You are going to get lots of different answers as people have different tastes and expectations. It does depend where you are going too. A bit of an effort is good. I'm not a formal person so I like smart casual, clean and non-scary. Hats, no, nor shades.

Depends on what kind of activities the two of you are doing. But for the most part, I'd say jeans n t-shirt are fine. More importantly, make sure to shower, have fresh breath and clean underwear!!!! lol

Sometimes I wear a hat too.

Skip on the hat and style your hair how you would normally without a hat. Dress like yourself. If you feel the need to put a little more effort into it, wear your nicest t-shirt and jeans/shorts.

Wear what you wore in your main profile pic, no matter what you do. That way she will recognize you and be comfortable.

If our first date is going out to dinner and you show up in jeans and a t-shirt, I'm going to wonder why I wasn't important enough for you to put any effort into getting dressed nice. It doesn't take that much effort to put on a nice polo shirt and a pair of khakis and a decent pair of shoes. Please shower, use deodorant and a bit of cologne. No hats, please.
Now if we're going to the park, or out playing putt=putt, wear some nice shorts and a golf shirt and some nice tennis shoes. But be clean, and smell good.

If we're going clubbing, wear what you look good in at the club, but if you show up with pants that are hanging halfway down over your butt, I'm outta there. LOL

Wear something that's appropreiate(sp?) for what your doing on the date and of who you are.

You as the guy should at the very least do your hair and shave, so don't look like bum.

Wife beater, cut-offs, tire tread sandals with socks. Don't forget the fishing hat. Yeah....that ought to impress her....

really, nice jeans, polo shirt, not t-shirt and yes, clean sneakers with socks on. I think no socks is icky. I wonder how bad those sneakers smell without socks to absorb sweat.....eeewwww

I find that the most useful thing I wear on a first date is a protective cup, just in case she doesn't quite understand my humor.

If you feel under dressed in comparison to your date then it is possible you are. If a young woman puts in the effort to have her hair and nails done, wear a dress, and wear less than comfortable shoes it is not likely she is going to be all that impressed if you show up wearing a tshirt that doubles for and undershirt , "comfortable" jeans or shorts and something shy of shoes and socks, and hat head. A date is a date; not hanging out with the guys on the driveway. Clothes should be approriate to the environment or maybe slightly better. The exception is if the date is to do something that might tear up better clothes. Always they should be clean and fresh and so should you.
