A big date is nerve wracking enough, let alone having to worry about what to wear. Have you ever questioned whether your ensemble was appropriate or whether it might appeal to the opposite sex. The idea is to attract your date's attention, and leave them wanting more. A great outfit gives insight into your personality and should flatter your form. We've all made blunders when it comes to our apparel, everyone's been caught up in today's fickle fashion scene. Here are some ideas to help both guys and dolls date fashionably.

Clothes make the man so my first word of advice is to get some feedback. If you know your strongest point isn't picking the perfect pinstripe then have a sister, friend or the like, give a second opinion on what you're planning on wearing. Dress comfortably and look like yourself. There's no point in looking like James Bond on a date only to return home and throw on your usual ratty sweats. Wear a lucky shirt, pants or underwear, anything that will give you an extra boost of confidence. Never, ever use a gimmick! Bringing (or wearing) a cowboy hat, tarot cards, guitar, lei, wrestling belt etc. will definitely insure that you will be remembered, just not in a good way. Now for the ladies....

All you lovelies out there please flaunt your best asset, but try to refrain from flaunting all of them. Don't be afraid to show some skin as long as it's weather permitting and appropriate to your dating destination. Why wear a formal evening wear getup to a bowling alley, or a track suit to the opera. If you know where the date is taking place then call ahead of time to ask about the dress code. Always wear your sexiest pair of undies (whether your date sees them or not) as you'll exude a sexy confidence all night long. Above all, be comfortable. Wear shoes you've worn before and clothes that fit properly.  Who wants to spend an amorous night out adjusting, fidgeting and straightening. For a little color theory, red invokes passion, life and attracts the human eye easier than any other color. Other safe date colors to consider are baby blues (calming), pink (feminine, nurturing) and white (pure, virginal).

Wouldn't it just be easier if we could all wear our god given birthday suits?  (Let's all petition!)  Not only would it be cheaper, it would also save the world from confusing Gucci with Pucci.
