Dating Attire Tip: Wear Prints
We get it, it’s easier to wear solids — less thought, less hassle, and you’re cutting your chances of looking like a toddler by half. Although we do agree that patterns can be tricky when over thought, it gives us the opportunity to add a little light-heartedness to our dressing, which we all know is a big positive when out on a date. The key takeaway is to let the shirt do the talking and keep everything else simple. Below, we’ve laid out a few more pointers to make our patterned shirts as accessible as possible
Keep It Casual
The geometric print shirt is a smart option that can transition easily from work attire to date night with the addition of our classic casual jacket. It’s the perfect halfway point between a bomber or a more formal tailored jacket. The shirt also leaves ample room for experimentation, pairing easily with chinos, or a distressed denim as demonstrated above. Finish the look with low-key sneakers and you’re set for the night.
Try Print as an Accent Color
Our dragonfly printed shirt is more suited for dressing up, but can also work nicely as part of a casual date outfit that needs a bit of verve. Generally speaking, the shirt works best and is particularly effective when used as an accent color against lighter neutrals such as grey. We’ve toughened up the look by adding our engineered constructed 3-D pant, and it never hurts to add accessories. Swap the sweater for a navy blazer, and you can wear this outfit to a creative office.
Confidence is Everything
Night green is the color of the season, and it never fails to give an outfit a chic, military feel. Our camouflaged leopard print shirt, as seen here, is a great way to turn up the style dial on the look. It’s important to point out that an all over leopard printed shirt isn’t the easiest to pull off, but style is at least nine-tenths confidence. You simply won’t look good in something you don’t feel comfortable wearing. Avoid looking dated by keeping the rest of your outfit contemporary and wear this with confidence. We promise you’ll turn heads for all the right reasons.
