The best advice for a first date is always to be yourself; obviously you’re also interested in being the hottest, most unforgettable version of yourself. A good first date outfit does both: shows your date something about who you are and how you move through the world, and also that you are very hot. Some of the social markers of queer culture can also be a factor – do you want to show off that you’re femme? Hint that you’re ready to top? Somehow express that you aren’t a tenderqueer but are emotionally literate? It’s a lot to process. Here are 7 true-life queer hotties who have helpfully showed you what they like to wear on first dates and why.

This is the only fashion commentary I ever needed
aaaah back in the day I put so much thought into my first date outfits and now I never do and I want to rectify this immediately.
I used to consistently wear a pair of overalls (gay) with some kind of mesh/lace top situation (hot). And always finished off with my Dr Marten boots. Ooh and hoop earrings (gold).
From now until forever, any time Shelli contributes to anything I will mentally add, “It’s so dope that I get to kiss all up on people’s daughters.”

First date, second date, night out…I always pretty much wear Heather’s outfit—maybe trade the ringer tee for an AS tshirt. My favorite part is that my outfit stays the same no matter how dressed up or dressed down my partner gets.
I don’t have a ton of clothes and JUST NOW figured out what sexy is for me and my human body. This means I get to wear my most recent first date outfit whenever I want my partner to ogle me in public and get all bashful, which is often.
Drew’s outfit is my ideal in every single way. Docs, tight pants, and leather jackets = IT.
Ya’ll look so good. Kamala’s sweater game is my north star. I am incredibly anxious just thinking about dating again. Excited to talk to new humans though too.
I mostly wear oversized dad thrift shirts. Is that too casually-cruising-Trader-Joes kind of energy?
