So, how much skin is okay to show on a first date? “Judge this one by both the occasion and your own comfort level. A late night party, concert or dancing can be a fun opportunity to wear something a little sexy and revealing,” Emily said.

If you’re still unsure, stick to Emily’s go-to tip: “A good rule of thumb for your classic dinner or drinks date is to pick your favorite body area to “expose,” and keep the rest more demure. Most importantly, if you’re not comfortable showing skin, don’t. Nothing will catch his eye more than discomfort in your own look! Less can be more too, even if it’s just showing off your toned calves in a midi length dress and strappy shoes, or a peek of your arm with a cold-shoulder top.”

The bottom line: you need to feel confident and love how you look, so that should be most important — when you feel great, that confidence will radiate! How much skin are you comfortable with showing on a first date? Let us know below and share your go-to date night outfit, too!
