What to wear on your first date

We have read all the fashion magazines and we have seen all the TLC style shows and yet even though being a lesbian is more accepted it feels like all fashion and date advice is all about making sure you look hot for men (who even wants to do that… I’m looking at you straight girls.)

Thankfully Dr. Frankie from the channel Little Gay Book on Youtube knows what’s up and is willing to share her lesbian first date clothing advice.

She starts off by telling us what not to wear. The worst offender on her list is flannel (do I even own anything else?) she does admit that it’s super cozy and goes on to call it an eye sore (disagree) but I can understand that it does perpetuate a stereotype and that is something that we should be leaning away from.

The next thing you’re going to want to stay away from is sports jerseys unless of course you’re  hitting up a sports game for your first date. They’re great, representative, expensive and cozy but they are not appropriate for a first date.

Stay away from mom jeans. These are not dead and you don’t want to wear them. Stay casual and good looking in a nice dark wash flare or a skinny jean.

You’re also going to want to stay away from baseball caps, flip flops and sneakers (yes even your nice high top Adidas sneakers.)

Do not wear a fanny pack. I don’t know anyone who wears fanny packs but it seems like Dr. Frankie does and she’s smart and sexy we we’re going to follow her advice.

First impressions are very important you don’t want to dress up to the point where you don’t feel like you’re being yourself but putting effort in makes you look good and shows that you respect the importance of the date.

Now Dr. Frankie breaks it down for us on what we should be wearing. If you are more feminine, find a sexy top that you still feel comfortable in to show up to your first date in. You might want to pair it with skinny jeans and sexy high boots or opt for some streamlined flats if it’s warmer.

If you’re more masculine trade your flannel for a nice simple button down shirt, straight leg slacks and then find some nice boots to top it all off.

With these guidelines the possibilities are endless. Watch the Ask Dr. Frankie video with below to get a full understanding and happy dating!
