Let’s get serious guys, when it comes to first date jitters you can relax and let your personality shine, we here at Style Nine To Five have got you covered when it comes to what-to-wear. Step 1: Don’t over think it. You never want to be overdressed on a first date, but you also don’t want to be underdressed either. Dress for comfort, and make sure your shirts are pressed, your jeans are washed; as is your hair! Step 2: Trust your gut and disregard everything your roommate tells you! He probably doesn’t even own a clean pair of socks that match. Wear what feels comfortable to you, but take certain style cues from guys in the public eye like Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling who are regularly on the best-dressed lists and truly know how to wear the basics. Crew necks in black, or charcoal grey are a great staple and pair perfectly with a classic pair of indigo denim. Effortless style and a winning personality are what are going to give you points this first time around. Step 3: The most important of all – Don’t forget your smile, it’s your best accessory.
