- Do you have a hot date coming up?
A first date with someone you really like,
and you want to make a good impression
in the fashion department?
Well, I'm gonna share with you four, that's right,
four top looks for dating success, so stay tuned.
(bouncy music)
If in doubt, then get your white t-shirt out.
Now you really can't go wrong with a fitted,
clean, plain white T.
If you wanna take your outfit from casual
to, let's say, smarter, I always take a,
maybe a nice grey jacket or a navy blue jacket,
it really does instantly smarten up your look.
Adding a nice plain fitted blazer or jacket
can really take your date outfit from very casual
to a lot smarter in an instant.
So why not take a jacket with you
just to be on the safe side?
Now I'm fan of the no-sock look,
and I'm wearing this with kind of boat shoes
or deck shoes, let me show you these socks.
Now, in the summer,
you might not want to wear regular socks
so these socks are kind of like cheat socks,
so you've got them in like so,
and no one would ever know that you're wearing socks.
This for me is a perfect summer evening date look.
You've got a nice crisp, freshly ironed, plain,
fitted, white shirt.
I think it's just a classic and looks good on everyone.
Now I'm a fan of rolling the sleeves up,
it means you're open, you're showing your forearms,
and you're not buttoned up.
So having your collar open, having your sleeves rolled up
sends out really positive signals to your date
that you are open and interested.
Now I've paired this with some dark denim jeans
that I've rolled up, you know I loved rolled up jeans.
Now because it's evening, I would go for darker colour,
and again, I paired this with some plain brown deck shoes
or boat shoes and my invisible socks.
It's time to talk about accessories.
I would say jewellery, maybe, but watches definitely.
So if you do have a decent watch, a more of a dressy watch
then that's a good opportunity to wear it
because I think it looks great!
This, I would say is a perfect daytime winter
first date outfit, let me talk you through it.
So I've got a nice white t-shirt on,
a plain light grey v-neck sweater or jumper,
and on the lower half of my daytime first date winter look
we've got a pair of fitted dark denim jeans,
they don't have to be skinny but fitted is quite flattering
and quite trendy and current.
Now I've rolled up the bottoms of these trousers,
I think that looks quite good as well.
We've got a splash of colour with some blue socks.
You can wear black if you don't want
to wear colour for socks.
I've got a clean and polished plain brown shoes
which I think really goes with any colour jeans.
And that's basically my
daytime winter first date look.
So last but not least is my final look for a first date.
Now this is an evening winter first date fashion look.
So let me talk you through what I have chosen.
So because it's winter and it might be a bit cooler outside
it's nice to layer up what you're wearing.
So I've got a nice white t-shirt.
Now I've paired that with a mid-blue denim shirt,
I do like a denim shirt, I think it's very flattering
on all skin tones, and it's kind of casual
but also quite smart.
I've also chosen a colourful plum
or maroon coloured sweater or jumper.
I think a pop of colour on a first date is always a winner.
Now, moving on down,
we have a pair of black fitted jeans.
They're plain jeans, now if you have chunky legs
or you're a bit older and aren't quite so comfortable
with skinny jeans, by all means chose a tapered leg
fitted trouser, I think it's much more trendy
and current to have a narrower silhouette
around the ankle department, so, put a pair of socks on
and I've teamed that with brown boots.
These are kind of like Chelsea boots.
They're kind of a classic shoe that goes with any colour
or any style of trousers.
So make sure they're clean and polished,
so that creates a very good first impression.
And finally, I have chosen a blazer or a jacket
that has a little bit of detail on it.
A small print
pattern on a jacket like this I think works really nice
as a contrast to an otherwise quite plain outfit.
So when it comes to a first date I generally am not a fan
of a conventional one colour suit,
same colour jacket as trouser.
I would generally go for separates,
more smart casual, I think it's more interesting.
If it suddenly gets warmer, we can take the jacket off,
we can even take the jumper off so we've got a variety
of different looks.
If it gets really hot, you could strip it down
to your t-shirt, or maybe even your underwear.
(cat call whistling) Now if it is winter,
you can always go for a plain
long scarf, I think this looks quite European and chic.
So you can simply wrap that around your neck like so.
That kind of looks casual but keeps you a bit warmer
if it's cold outside.
You know it can be really nerve wracking
going on a first date, especially if you like someone.
So boosting your confidence by feeling great
about how you look can really help make a date
a fantastic success.
And even if the date goes really badly,
at least you look gorgeous.
So guys, I've got five extra bonus tips for you
for a fantastic first impression on a hot date.
So, tip number one, aftershave.
Now, when it comes to your fragrance,
don't douse yourself with it
so that people's eyes are watering, less is always more.
A good aftershave should be a bit like a gentle caress,
not (blowing) and slapping the face.
Number two, your mobile phone.
Now, if you're on it the whole evening,
that's really off-putting and stressing for your date.
So keep it in your pocket and not on the table.
Number three, try and avoid wearing
a really offensive t-shirt like I Love Death
or Addicted to Video Games, it's not a good look
so don't do it.
Number four, breath.
If your breath smells like road kill,
let me tell you something, no one,
no one is gonna kiss you.
So pop a mint or some gum, and then you might get
a decent snog at the end of the evening.
Fingers crossed! (loud smooching)
And finally, number five, ask some questions,
be interested, and by all means, be yourself.
And then you're gonna have a fantastic date,
let me tell you, it may even end in sex.
Maybe even with someone else. (snickering, laughing)
Not just yourself! Whoop whoop!
