And is dressy on a date a good thing?

Yes: “Putting in effort to dress for a date is a good thing,” says renowned fashion stylist Anaita Shroff Adajania. “Wear something that flatters your figure the best with a pair of comfy shoes. Get your nails done, blow-dry your hair and wear accessories that tell a story about you.”

Make-up tips to remember…

Anmol Bhatia, blogger: “Go for just mascara, don’t overdo the eyes, avoid red lipstick! Use a highlighter for the evenings and a peach or pink blush for the day.”
