Dating Style Tips

Personal style is not about designer labels, the latest celebrity trend or must-have accessories; it's simply about having the confidence and self awareness to make the very most of what you've got. So here are a few tips:

STYLE TIPS FOR WOMEN
Men are more receptive to style and image than they are often given credit for:

*Appearance - looking too casual is a bad idea but equally looking too trendy can be a problem too - you don't want to send him running for the hills.If choosing a dress, then it is crucial both the colour and shape are flattering, with a feminine edge...

*Heels - instantly make you look taller and slimmer. Go for as high as you can walk easily in.

*Jewellery - avoid masses of gold, as it's unlikely he will understand the fashion irony of the St Tropez chic look. Instead, carefully choose some pieces that will make you stand out.

*Underwear - create a clean, smooth and toned silhouette with control underwear.

*Scent - finish off your look with a 'light scent' of perfume. Nothing is more off putting than smelling like a perfume department.


STYLE TIPS FOR MEN
Like dressing for work, dating women can be equally competitive:

*Personal grooming - she will notice and don't kid yourself otherwise..Showering and a good scent will take you far, as will polished shoes, fresh breath and clean hair and nails.

*Sexy Shirt - selecting an interesting shirt with some sort of texture or pattern is a good conversation starter. The pattern can be as subtle as a tone-on-tone stripe or go bold with a colorful pinstripe. However, stay on the distinguished side of wild and wacky.

*Jeans - men often select jeans that do not fit them. So pay careful attention to fit around your waist, rear end and legs. Be careful, as jeans can either age you by 10 years or make you look way too young and getting the right pair is an absolute essential - you would be amazed.

*Shoes - invest in at least one cool pair of “going out shoes” that are modern. Avoid rubber soles, square or rounded tip toes - these can make you look out of touch.

*Accessories - finish off your dating look with a quality leather belt, a smart leather wallet, and a sporty chronograph watch.

*Smart occasion - always go for a snappy dark suit with a crumple free shirt. If a more casual occasion go for dark coloured jeans with a jumper and crisp shirt - a winning combination on any modern man.
