    Hey everyone. I've got a first date coming up and was hoping to get some input on an outfit. I'm thinking a blue or red polo, with dark blue jeans and a pair of white or navy flip flops. The date is just a very casual dinner so I don't want to overdress but still look nice. Let me know what you guys think :icon_bigg

    I think that sounds nice, but I'm also criticized as being the worst "gay dresser" in the world... So take my advice with a grain of salt.

    Personally i'd say NO FLIPFLOPS.

    Wear your most flattering stuff, stuff that you see yourself in in the mirror and you actually think "Yes, i do look good in this"

    I think everybody has a t-shirt that makes their torso look good and some jeans that make their butt look good haha.

    I'm hardly a fashion icon though but i go on nights out a lot and i "dress to impress" and get a few compliments :slight_smile:

    But the most important thing is..... BE YOU.

    Sounds good. I'd prefer shorts with the flip flops or sneakers with jeans, but that's just me.

    With my attraction to feet, I have to disagree with both of these. Cute toes showing can look great in the preppy style you described. IDK if it's unpopular with most, but I would love it, especially if you chose the white ones.

    I would suggest a nice pair of trainers instead of flip-flops

    I love flip flops and jeans! I think that'd look great. A polo would be nice or a nice graphic t-shirt.
    You've got the right idea.

    Who would have known the LGBT community is nearly entirely against flip flops with long pants. Never would have guessed. I have never gone on a date like that, but i have most certainly gone other places. Ill have to take note. In the future I cant where flip flops with jeans :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    Forgot to add this:

    I would say the red polo with blue jeans.

    And apparently no flip flops.

    It sounds nice, but please, no sandals/flip-flops/thongs; sometimes it's hard to take someone seriously if they're wearing them. There's a difference between casual and sloppy, and for a date, you almost certainly want to look the former.

    Wear something that suits you, and fits well. Make sure everything is cleaned, freshly ironed, and is a good fit. The fit is really important; better to wear a perfectly-sized T-shirt than an ill-fitting polo.

    I wouldn't wear flip flops if you are eating out... even casual dining.

    I don't understand all the flip flop hate :lol: . If it's only a casual dinner, I see no problem with wearing your flip flops if you want to.

    It was the combo of long pants and flip flops.

    I have ZERO fashion sense so I dont know why.

    Not a big fan of flip flops in general, but flipflops with long jeans make me cry on the inside.

    Don't do it, OP. Don't do it.

    That said: wear whatever you feel comfortable in :slight_smile: Cause if the other person likes you it shouldn't matter too much what you're wearing (yes, I could even get over my flip flop hate if the right guy is wearing them)
