An Everyday Outfit Style Inspiration for Men | Outfit of the Day

Yesterday I spent a lot of the day writing an article about why it's time for a life and body detox and in it I touched on being single in London and my relationship history (which is pretty much non existent). Saying that, I have had quite a few dates over the last few years and one thing that I always think way too much about is what to wear. For me a first date should be pretty casual, I wouldn't dress up in a suit, shoes and especially not a tie - that's too restrictive as a date shouldn't be a business meeting. 

Stay relaxed and hopefully she'll feed off of that and the awkward first date nerves will casually dissolve into the evening. This outfit is (in my eyes) perfect for a first date, casual and easy to style. There are not too many colours going on, so you have no chance of looking like your mum just dressed you. As the winter weather kicks in, just layer a jacket or coat over the top as a statement piece. The coat can transform this outfit and give you the wow factor when first meeting. I personally would wear a cream coat, camel coat, a herringbone grey overcoat or even a lightweight bomber jacket. Yeahhh that would look awesome...I'll leave the actual date chat up to you but good luck!

This outfit is more than for a date, I've worn it already out down the pub, to meetings and just chilling around the house. The trainers are from Adidas, jeans from ASOS as is the shirt and finally the watch is from Rotary. If you love it, shop it as it is all new season AW17 collection.
