Success Through Confidence Series Part 1: How To Dress the Part for A Date

Let’s keep it real. You can have the most fashionable and envied wardrobe in town, but it still won't sustain a long-term relationship. But here’s the good news - they can make a lasting impression when you're out on a hot date. When dressing for that date you’ve spent sleepless over, you do want to look your best, since confidence really boosts your hot factor.

1. Determine the image that best reflects your personality. Please don’t do the Dracula look if you’re trying to aim for mystery – you may just end up looking psychotic.

2. Choose clothes that show off the most positive aspects of your body. Please don’t show off too much of your assets as it's important to leave something to the imagination-- restraint can be even hotter than flaunting everything you've got.

3. Wear the right colors to help you look slimmer, healthier and even younger.

4. Keep the accessories minimal. You don’t want to look like a Christmas tree on your date.

5. Please invest in a decent pair of shoes. Leave your battered and half dead footwear at home. Shoes that are unpolished, torn or worn will not leave a good first impression. Strappy sandals, high heels and tall leather boots are all good hot-date choices for women. But please make sure they match your outfit – and tastefully so, otherwise you’ll end up being paid for the date.

6. Choose to wear an outfit that is comfortable. No matter how great it looks on you, you're not going to seem hot if you're fidgeting in it all evening. Think that leather pants looks hot on you? If you’re uncomfortable in it – you’ll be feeling the heat in other less pleasurable ways.

7. Please choose clothes that fit your body type. Don’t wear a long dress if you are short in stature and don’t squeeze into something you could wear when you were 17, but can’t fit into anymore. You will not go on that second date if you do.
