what to wear: second date
A Reader Asks:
I was wondering about choices to wear for the second date. The first date is always big, but I’m just as nervous about the second!I wore jeans and black shirt and heels for the first. Should I wear a dress for this one? Or jeans again? Since its summer, what about white pants? We are going to dinner for the date – probably grab a drink after.
Wardrobe 911 Style Prescription:
Since you’ve passed the nerve-wracking first date, no need to worry too much about the second. You’ve obviously charmed him (or her) and made it to a second date, so now is the time to try and get to know the other person better, let your true colors shine, and hopefully let the sparks fly. When deciding what to wear on the follow up date, here are a few tips to keep it interesting.
Jeans and heels are safe, but turn it up a notch and show your sexy side by wearing a gathered soft knit dress like this one by Bailey 44. With it’s waist cinching detail and fluid feel, you can be sultry and comfortable at the same time. Try and find a shade similar to the color tones in your eyes to make them pop and twinkle when you look into your date’s eyes.
Wear a fashion forward patent leather sling back sandal for added style and height. The extra few inches will create a slimming line, which we all appreciate. Take along a complementing clutch to carry the essentials. Complete the look with a simple bangle and let the rest of your body language do all the talking.

I was told that clutches are for weddings. After that I’ve had a complex about using them for less than super formal occassions.
