Do you like to wear a skirt or sun dress on first dates or anytime for that matter?
Was doing a corporate flying gig a couple of weeks ago. Ended up sitting outside a coffee shop in Highland Park around 10 AM, at a very upscale shopping area near Chicago. Just relaxing while the boss took care of business and noticed about half the women walking by or window shopping wore sun dresses or skirts that were sexy, flirty and feminine. I noticed their ages ranged from early 20’s-60’s. Here in Texas where I live maybe 1 out of 10 at best women wear skirts or a dress.
While I was sitting there I thought of all my eH dates and realized I’d never had a woman wear a skirt or little sun dress…always jeans or slacks. Is it a regional thing in this country? Do women in bigger cities wear skirts\dresses more often? Is that an age thing?
I did date a woman several years ago that wore sun dresses almost every day. She was so sexy. For some reason it just drove me crazy seeing her in those. The relationship didn’t work out but I still remember her to this day.
Just curious, I guess since it’s spring…

thats really funny. I'm from Chicago and I now live in San Antonio... I notice more girls and women wearing dresses here! If you were in a certain part of Chicago...you may have been noticing an overall, well dressed theme. People there do dress better overall.

I often wear jeans or pants on first dates so as not to send to loud of a signal so to speak...try to keep it somewhat casual and conservative.

But I do like to wear dresses.

Interesting cp30...you could be right.

It was the kind of upscale shopping area with shops I've never heard of like...free people...very trendy. The women all drove up in nice cars, a couple had on tennis skirts...like they were going to play after a bit of shopping. No I didn't talk or flirt with any of them just smiled and they smiled back. Maybe they were just well kept housewives and wear those outfits because that's what their husband wants to see them in and he is paying the bill. That's just conjecture on my part. Saw several women who worked in the shops and they almost all wore skirts or some type of dress.

I was in Boston the day before, same type atmosphere and the majority of women in something other than jeans or slacks. That's why I thought maybe it was a Big City thing...maybe an economic or education thing.

For you women, skirts\sun dresses really do make you look feminine and guys like that.

cp30, not sure what you mean by loud signal or conservative on first dates. You mean to keep the guy from getting to handsy when he walks you to your car after the date or what? I did see a cute college age sorority girl at the Quarry last Saturday on a 1st date with a guy she met online (I could tell by her questions and what they said). Little petite thing and she wore a black above the knee casual loose fitting dress. The guy wasn't all over her. The guy actually looked half asleep while I was sitting next to them.

i wear something bright on a date, especially during winter time. i like to look different, especially if i am meeting someone for the first time. but not too over done. casual is key. a little make up never hurts.
as far as dresses go. i wear something a little conservative. something that shows off my body but not in a slutty way. wearing a sun dress can be great but it can also give the guy a wrong impression. that's why i always wear a thin sweater over my dresses. it says i am fun and flirty but also sharp.

I mostly wear dresses or skirts both summer and winter and always with heels. At home I wear jeans.

For me, it's summer here in Alberta, and I like to wear them during those wonderful 20 + days.

What wrong impression are you talking about? As a guy, if I see a girl in a sundress, it usually makes me think she's more on the cute, fun, and likes the way they look side of life, but definitely still wants to be treated like a lady. Unless you're going somewhere like the movies were you might catch a chill, any sweater or wrap just makes you look more prudish and somewhat defeats the point of wearing a sundress.

Cliff notes : ladies, please wear more sun dresses

I live in dresses and skirts. Cute little flirty ones in the summer and nice long flowy ones in the winter. They just make me feel more feminine and I stand a little straighter and they give me more self confidence.

natka, you peaked my interest and I just looked at the Victoria Secret online catalog for sundresses. Most of them looked what I would not consider slutty or wouldn't give a guy the wrong impression.

It is what it is and if you feel that way...it's just interesting and a perspective women have that I didn't realize. That's why I posted the question to try and understand why women I've met on eH show up in jeans or slacks which I do not consider sexy or feminine. That doesn't mean I haven't developed a relationship with them because I did with several of them.

Once again maybe it's just a touch of spring fever...

Good for you girls! Trust me guys think they are sexy and feminine. I'm not sure when or why women got away from wearing skirts\dresses.

I do see younger women around here wearing them but at some age it's just jeans and slacks. I don't even like shorts so much on a woman compared to a skirt or little sundress.
