Hello Friends!
When some guy is en route to pick you up and you're hurrying to finish slapping on your war paint, remember that less is actually more.
It's becoming increasingly clear that bold and daring makeup trends — last year's purple, this year's oxblood and black — are more for the benefit of bar-hopping with your girlfriends than they are for date night.
A study reported in the Daily Mail says that almost a third of dudes are turned off by "heavy makeup." (Let's face it — if a normally-clueless guy can even see your makeup, that might be a problem.) Same goes for too-dark tans (sorry, Lindsay — not that you've got the option to tan right now). And you shouldn't be getting those anyway!
Guys' outfit preferences are similar as well: 56 percent of them consider clothes important for a girl, but don't like trendy shoes, or anything too haute couture — simple jeans or a little black dress, they said, was generally ideal.
That said, there's an argument on behalf of wearing whatever the hell you want on a first date: Take my go-to outfit, which is a vintage Groucho Marx t-shirt, jeans, and sometimes (gasp) "weird," "high-fashion" wedges.
I'm feeling really crazy, I'll even put on some bright eye shadow For many of us, fashion reflects who we are — and if you're just not the jeans-and-heels type, it's better to get that over with up front so that he can go find someone who is — and you can go find someone who will love you for your crazy Shosh hats or the barrel with suspenders you like to wear around the house.
Perhaps this is the best rebuttal: Lady Gaga once wore a dress made of Kermits, and she's currently engaged to this guy. So I say let your sartorial freak flag fly.
