Whether you’re getting ready for the second date or the fiftieth, it’s always important to look and feel your best. As women, we tend to put significantly less effort into our appearance after the first date (and even less by the time we’re in a committed relationship!), but that’s a big mistake. No matter how comfortable you are with your guy, it’s important to show him you care by putting in a little extra effort to look sexy just for him. To get started, keep the following three rules in mind the next time you’re picking out your date night outfits, and you’ll be sure to remind him why he fell for you in the first place!

Rule #1: Always know where you’re going.

Always know exactly where you’re going so you can select the perfectly appropriate date night outfit. For example, if your guy invites you on a hike, aim to look sexy while still being appropriately dressed. In this scenario, I recommend heading to Lululemon to pick up a pair of black spandex pants and a top in a fun color. That way you’re dressed appropriately AND you still look hot. If he makes reservations at a brand new restaurant you’ve never been to, call ahead and inquire about the dress code.

Rule #2: Get all dolled up just for him.

Dressing up for your partner is super important when it comes to keeping your relationship strong, so think about what your guy likes whenever you’re getting ready. For example, if he complimented you on your teal halter top during your first date, surprise him by wearing a necklace in that same color for your movie date this evening. If he’s mentioned before that he loves your hair when it’s curled, curl it again but throw on a headband or hair accessory for a little variety.

Rule #3: Bring your sex appeal no matter where you are!

Whether you’re going dressy, casual, or middle of the road, bring your sex appeal wherever you go! Even if you’re just going to the movies and you don’t want to wear heels, wear a top that reveals a little cleavage, or pull on a pair of form fitting jeans that show off your butt. Highlight your favorite areas of your body and wear clothes that make you feel sexy and feminine. Trust me: your guy will love it!
