There are few things as stressful as first dates, and personally, I\u2019d rather sit through three days of back-to-back exams than go on one. But, alas \u2013 go on them you must. Because, you know, not spending the rest of your life alone and all that. As a student, the chances of the spot for this faithful first date having a dress code are minimal \u2013 casualness is key.\u00a0 Can I go in what I\u2019ve been wearing most days, or should I make a bit more of an effort than usual? Or will it just look really weird if I dress up? Is it going to look weirder if I don\u2019t? Am I overthinking things? Yes. So, in an attempt to assuage those first-date outfit panics, here are some casual first date outfit ideas!<\/p>\n

1) Pub Date<\/h2>\n

Chances are if you\u2019re going on a first date in Glasgow, you\u2019ll be going to Inn Deep. And chances are if you\u2019re going to Inn Deep, you\u2019ll be sitting outside. Now, it doesn\u2019t take a genius to figure out that Scotland gets rather cold (I\u2019m looking at you, Beast from the East), so you\u2019ll want something warm to wear. In a sea of puffers, an aviator jacket stands out, and has never gone out of style. It also goes well over most tops, pair it with anything your little heart desires (and you definitely do not need to break the bank on that \u00a32000 Acne one).<\/p>\n

2) Cafe Date<\/h2>\n

Another classic casual first date spot is something along the lines of Artisan Roast. Due to its close proximity to Glasgow University, you might end up coming here straight from the library \u2013 so you\u2019ll need something both uni and date appropriate. A black turtleneck and high-waisted jeans are a classic combination: try a straight leg instead of the mom jean for a modern take. Grab a darker lipstick or fun jewellery with you to jazz the outfit up before your date (if you feel like it). Clean black ankle boots are a sleek change from the ubiquitous trainer, too!<\/p>\n

3) Movie Date<\/h2>\n

Are you planning on catching a flick at the local theatre? Grab a warm and fitted turtleneck that can be worn with any bottom you are feeling for the night.<\/p>\n

4) Walking Date<\/h2>\n

Weather permitting, Kelvin Way is lovely for a casual stroll. Here, as you\u2019ll be doing a lot of walking and talking, a statement coat goes a long way in jazzing up an outfit while still maintaining a casual \u2018oh this? I just threw this on\u2019 air about you.<\/p>\n

5) Gallery Date<\/h2>\n

Glasgow\u2019s host to a great many galleries and exhibitions, all of which are great first date spots for those with an interest in art \u2013 you definitely won\u2019t be running out of things to talk about. This is probably just me, but personally, I quite like to dress up a little when going to art galleries \u2013 the usual, stereotypical, nice-trouser-and-turtleneck combo. (Bonus points if the neck of the turtleneck is high enough for me to fiddle with as I appraise art pensively). Checked trousers have been massive for the past two years, and are a great way of smartening up an outfit \u2013 pair them with trainers for a really casual first date look!<\/p>\n
