One of my favourite parts — and sometimes most stressful! — parts about going on first dates is putting together your outfit. Every first date is different, which contributes to what makes them so exciting; and you’ve got to dress for the occasion.
IDK about you, but what I wear on a first date has almost everything to do with my mood. Whether I’m feeling confident and sexy, bloated and tired, hungover but hot… I want to feel good about what I’m wearing. I also want to dress accordingly, depending on where we’re going for a date and the vibe that my date has already given.
First impressions matter, especially on a first date. So, you want to get it right! We’re here to help.
Here are four dresses that will slay the first date game, depending on what your mood is.
Alamour the Label
Will You Accept This Rose (Me)?
You could go for something bold and dressy, like the Monica dress ($320) by Alamour the Label.

THE ICONIC
Effortlessly Sexy
This BWLDR Renzo Midi Dress ($149.95) is effortlessly sexy, with its spaghetti straps and figure-hugging silhouette — not to mention its leg slit.
But still, somehow, it’s not over-the-top. This is the dress to wear if you want to be effortlessly sexy. Maybe wear your hair down, natural and messy, with minimal make up and your favourite timeless jewellery.
THE ICONIC
The Day Date Dress
This Savel Ria Gathered Dress ($99.95) is the definitely of cute, pretty, wholesome vibes.
This is a gorge dress for a daytime date, like a picnic or a walk around the park.
It’s also perfect for babes on their period or an extra hot day, because it’s not fitted, but it’s still a little sexy, with the ruching around the bust.
THE ICONIC
Badass Babe Energy
Go full badass sexy in this Insight Marella Corset Denim Tube Dress ($119.95) and leave all your cards on the table.
If you need that extra confidence boost, or just want to feel your badass self on this first date, you can’t go wrong with a strapless denim mini. Pair it with some cowboy boots to go the extra edge.
