What We're Wearing

Summer Date

Going on a date—especially a first date—can initiate some nervous sweating when it's not 90 degrees outside. But when the heat and humidity all but promise you'll be sweating mere minutes after walking out your door, you need to dress accordingly. That being said, you probably don't want to show up wearing shorts. You want to look sharp, but relaxed. Cool and confident. Start with a dark T-shirt (harder to see pit stains) and over that, layer a lightweight plaid shirt. It helps further camouflage sweat stains and is handy if you're in an over air-conditioned space. You can always peel this off if it gets too hot. And don't forget to stash a cooling wipe in your pocket. Use it to swipe away grease (or back sweat) just before you meet up or to freshen up mid-date.
