Clothes for a date

Get some smart shirts, can't go wrong. I'd say double collared shirts are more date attire because you don't have to wear a tie with them and they come off as a little more casual. You can wear them with black jeans and some smart shoes and you're good to go.

 

Aberrance's suggestion is pretty solid. If you wanted to go a step farther without becoming formal, a nice cardigan or blazer over a t-shirt and jeans is good too. And everyone needs a good, well-fitted v-neck jumper.

 

I wrote this in the other place you posted this but I'll add it here too: I bought a black velvet smart bomber jacket recently. I find the idea of wearing a suit a bit weird especially at my age, so the bomber element keeps it casual, but it was from the suiting section and is appropriately sleek and smart. And velvet. Which is the fabric of the luxury queer if there ever was one. I plan to buy chelsea boots, which again have the casual nature of the boot but with the most elegant frame of the boot family, making a good crossover into formal, especially in black. That combo with black or dark jeans or trousers and a well chosen shirt or tshirt will make for a good night-time or date night look i think. I've seen men's lace shirts on asos that seem very appealing - lace that still looks somewhat masculine. That was just something that was on my mind tho. Any shirt would do except pastel coloured ones I think - think intense night-time colours or white.

 

nice button down shirt, casual dress pants, loafers.

a little more casual, like an afternoon date, check shirt undone over teeshirt (could be butch girl or casual guy) with jeans and runners.

 

I just realised the link I added for the velvet bomber on the other thread did not transfer https://m.topman.com/en/tmuk/product/black-velvet-bomber-jacket-6174843
It's from Topman's suiting section.

 

It really depends on what you're doing for the date. But a nice button front shirt, jeans, and nice leather shoes works well.
