BONUS TIPS: 8 STYLE RULES FOR GREAT FIRST DATES

The right clothes help unlock your confidence. In a Men’s Health survey, 78 percent of women said that dressing well is the hottest thing a man can do, and 85 percent said that a well-dressed man is sexier than a man with lots of money.

Here are eight style rules for first dates (and dating in general.)

1: Your shirts, pants, and jackets should be tailored for your body, or appear to be. The biggest style mistake men make? Baggy, ill-fitting clothes. Your duds shouldn’t be too tight, nor should they billow. Think somewhat snug.

2: Own at least one pair of quality, dark denim jeans (blue or black). And please, no pleated khakis! (Be a hot guy, not a Helpful Honda Guy.)

3: As for shirts, favor button-downs, polos, and quality tees. In an Esquire survey, women preferred plain white tees on a man more than any other kind of shirt.

4: Have at least one pair of fun, stylish sneakers (NOT gym shoes), such as Stan Smiths or Chuck Taylors. As for dress shoes, consider a classic loafer, brogue, or lace-up Oxford (brown or black.)

5: Be well-groomed, and smell absolutely amazing.

6: Your hair (or lack thereof) should look “on purpose,” whether you’re rocking a cool fade, or shaving your head. Consider a consultation with a hair stylist.

7: If you’re balding, keep it very close-cropped, or go full Kojak.

8: Wear boxer-briefs. In a GQ survey, 65 percent of women preferred boxer-briefs on a man (compared to 19 percent for boxers and 5 percent for tightie-whities.) True, it’s only the first date, but it’s best to be prepared.
