The idea of a date can be exciting for some, but terrifying for others. But, there are some things you can do to ensure that you feel confident on your date, like wearing your favourite bag or piece of jewellery.
What should I wear on a date?
Date-wear can be a tricky one. The main thing to think about is the location you’re going to. Think about what other people may be wearing, and what you would usually wear when visiting that location. The goal is to achieve a look that looks effortlessly chic and looks like you’ve just thrown on an outfit and pulled it off, however far that is from the truth. Before a date, you can spend ages overthinking this, so if you’re really struggling, jeans and a nice top often works well in most settings. If it’s more formal, add an oversized blazer and strappy heels. It could be a more casual setting, in this case, add a puffer coat or hoodie. It’s all about what you feel comfortable wearing.
What do I need to bring in a bag with me?
There are some handbag essentials that you should probably carry when going out to date night. For example, remember to take your purse, lipstick or lipgloss, your phone, and a face mask. These are probably a few essential things. You don’t need to overpack, so make sure that you’re being quite ruthless with your ‘essentials’ when going on a date. Nobody wants their date to turn up with a huge tote bag full of unnecessary items. Think about what you’ll need, and only bring these items.
Brands that are guaranteed to stand out on a date
When you walk into the restaurant, bar or cinema, you might want to make a little bit of a statement. So, here are three luxury brands that are guaranteed to make your date double take.
Chanel
Any bag of Chanel’s is guaranteed to make a statement, thanks to their worldwide reputation of elegance and quality. The Chanel classic flap bag may make for the perfect accessory on your date as the different sizes mean that if you want to overpack, you can. Chanel has a long history of creating suits and making them acceptable and fashionable for women to wear them too. The creation of the iconic Chanel suit allowed for women to remain both practical and comfortable when walking around. This is exactly what the look you want to achieve on your own date.
Louis Vuitton
The Louis Vuitton monogram canvas is among one of the most recognisable prints in the entire world. The second you walk into your date, the bag will be noticed almost instantly. Not only this but Louis Vuitton bags are extremely practical, especially if you’ve got the Speedy or Alma bags. Louis Vuitton bags have been spotted on the arms of many celebrities too, from Kim Kardashian to Audrey Hepburn. If an LV is good enough for Kim Kardashian, then it’s probably good enough for you to take on your date.
Cartier
We’ve spoken about the best brands for bags, now let’s not forget about jewellery too. The great thing about Cartier is that most of their jewellery remains pretty understated. So, if you’re wanting to wear a luxury brand on your date, but don’t want it to be too bold, Cartier is the brand for you. Their Love bracelet or Juste Un Clou ring are two staple picks and can be easily matched with all your other pieces of jewellery as they both come in white, rose and yellow gold.
When you look your best, you feel your best
Going on a first date can be pretty nerve-racking and your mind may be going into overdrive thinking things like, will they fancy me? And will we get on? Take the worry out of the first question by adding one of these statement luxury brands to your outfit. Let’s face it, if you’ve got a Chanel on your arm, the world is your oyster. Even if the date doesn’t go too well, there are plenty of other individuals out there who would probably love to take you (and your Chanel) out on a date.
