Got yourself a date and wondering what to wear? Unless you are the richest Man in the world and planning to sweep the girl off her feet on the first date by taking her to Paris, your best bet is going casual.
What To Wear On A First Date : Shirts
Casual shirts selections : Don’t go too bold. Lightweight and neutral colors that would go nicely underneath a blazer as well as stand on it’s own if you ever feel the need to take off your blazer at certain point in your date. Like inside a movie theater. Get your head out of the gutter please, 
. Or if you decide not to wear a blazer over it.

Jeans: Straight Leg cut and most preferably, a dark wash would be the perfect choice. Don’t go baggy and start showing off your underwear. I mean, c’mon now. How about the skinny jeans? If that’s your jeans of preference, I’m guessing you have the body frame to actually pull it off.
