This question became a recent discussion based on an article about NBA player, Gilbert Arenas ranting on twitter about what his Blind Date wore. Please read the article with his tweets, it's rude, hilarious and embarassing all in one.


Yes, I would be upset if the guy I was on a date with tweeted that my shirt reminded him of Simba or better yet the Queen of Zamunda (ROTL). But as a female I wouldn't wear or encourage my friend to wear any wild print anything on a blind date, just keep it simple. In a perfect world you like to placed the attention on who you are not who made your shirt when meeting that blind date.


There are endless outfit possibilities so I will leave you with some tips:
1.) Avoid any trendy looks i.e. color-blocking, boho chic, tribal. These looks might be appreciated by your girlfriends or your favorite gay male friend but to the average straight guy (or Gilbert Arenas) it will probably be distracting.
2.) Stick with basics, basic colors, basic silhouettes, basic details. The "Queen of Zamunda" shirt that Gilbert's date had on was a zebra print with an embellished neckline of beads and shells, le sigh.
3.) Use accessories as your statement. A really great bag, shoes, and even earrings can spark up an outfit without being so brash.
