Daytime dates are tough to dress for. Your usual date attire is probably a cocktail dress and heels, but that might look a little strange chatting at the café table outside of Starbucks. Here are a few simple rules to follow in making your lunch date attire appropriate, fashionable and flirty:

 

• Be trendy. Lunch dates are one of the few times you’ll be able to wear more casual clothes, and trendy fashions are the flirtiest kind. Dark wash jeans are hot right now – I recommend DKNY Soho jeans. They’re long, straight and boot cut, and they slim any leg instantly. Pair them with a long tunic top.
• Be girly. Feminine clothes are very flirtatious, and they say, “I’m a woman! Treat me like one!” Lace is very fashionable right now, as well as ribbon accents and peep-toe heels. A peasant style sundress will play up your femininity while still looking casual.
• Drop the black! While black is very slimming and chic, it’s too formal for daytime wear. Use more colors; it’s spring, so now is a great time for pastels and brights.
• Go natural. If your hair and makeup are too polished, you’ll give off a high maintenance vibe. Instead, keep hair natural, either worn down or in a breezy ponytail. If you hate your hair’s natural texture, either go stick straight with a flat iron or curl just the ends and layers. Too many curls will look too done up. As well, dark makeup should be avoided; stick to black mascara, concealer, gloss, and highlighter to bring out the beauty of your skin.

 

These simple guidelines will keep your daytime lunch date comfortable and without expectations. Plus, your prospective guy will appreciate a girl who can let her hair down (literally)! Enjoy!
