WHAT TO WEAR ON A FIRST DATE

I’ve been on my fair share of first dates (aye, single women, you feel me!). Aside from matching with or being set up with someone (however you meet your potential s/o), committing to meet up for a first date is typically the hardest part—coordinating schedules, picking the right location, etc. Deciding what to wear should be a breeze.

Instead of putting unnecessary pressure on myself combing through my closet 30 minutes before my date, I always wear the same outfit combination on nearly every date. For me, I feel most confident in leggings (right now, these a.n.a High Waisted from JC Penney), a basic tank or bodysuit, and heels (heeled boots count too). If it’s chilly, I’ll throw a jacket over my shoulders. This combo is what works for me and is appropriate for pretty much any outing (coffee/drinks/dinner). But find what works for you and makes you feel your best. Moral of the story: to ease your wardrobe decisions for your next first date, don’t overcomplicate it, keep it simple, and reach for an outfit combination that always makes you feel fire.

NATURYLBYNBK EDIT

Not to sound melodramatic, but when I mysteriously misplaced my favorite pair NATURYL BY NBK leggings and bodysuit last year, I felt a small piece of myself die. That’s because when you find a pair of comfy, flattering everyday wear that makes you look like you go to one or two Pilates classes a week more than you do, you hold on for dear life.

As an editor, I have strong feelings about which pieces are the most flattering workout leggings on the market: In such a saturated athleisure scene, you can trust that these fashion pieces are mad comfortable, will last year years without stretching out, and (importantly) make you look like you have lower abs, long lean legs, and the ass of an angel.

I have to admit I haven’t shopped from NATURYL BY NBK since 2018 but from what I remember I was a happy gal. The only thing I will say is I do hope more designs come out.

Keep scrolling to discover my faves to wear in the house that is comfortable, stretchy, soft, and stylish.

AMAZING FABRIC! Can’t say enough about it!!! Wearing this 24/7. Will get more but wish there was a black set! Sorry, I prefer everything all black but I’m fine with the DENIM color.

2. NATURYL BASIC ONESIE($49)

Available in sizes XS to L.

THE ULTIMATE BASIC ONE PIECE JUMPSUIT is perfect for layering in the cold months, or wear alone to the gym & yoga. Ultra soft, breathable and form fitting without being constricting.

3. NATURYL PLUS SIZE BASIC LEGGING($37)
