Avoid these T-Shirts when going on a Date

Every guy has a go-to date outfit: a nice pressed shirt, a blazer, or a button-down that shows your "adventurous" side. That's fine. But when it's hot out, all of that should be kicked out. The key thing to worry about is just staying cool in the heat. Also, let's face it — you'll probably be pretty nervous. Those two combined can turn into a pretty sweaty time.

So ditch your "typical" outfit and go as simple as possible: a plain, high-quality T-shirt. Think it's too casual and won't make an impression? Think again. Not only will you keep cool, but in the eyes of the opposite sex you'll look cool too. We call that a win-win.

Now, here are a few tips on a few T-shirt you shouldn't wear when going on a date:

Meme or slogan shirts

Slogan shirts or meme shirts, especially those that are telling whoever is reading your shirt to keep calm and ... whatever the rest of the shirt says, makes no one feel anything but calm. Any sartorially savvy man knows that shirts shouldn't have words on them, unless they are promoting a cause. Instead, stick to a plain shirt that says way more than one with words sprawled across the front.

Anything that's oversized or too big for you

If you have any shirts — dress or tee's — that are way too big on you and not tailored to fit your body shape, then don't wear them to a date. One of the most important components to dressing well is having clothes that fit you properly.

The Hawaiian-inspired shirt

Although the style has been around for a while, we still say that  besides beach outings to be taken seriously in any aspect of your life, you need to ditch the Hawaiian-inspired shirt. It's the equivalent of looking like you're constantly on vacation, so we like the idea of the shirt in theory but not so much in real life. You can do so much better with subtle print shirts.

A side-cut T-shirt

If you have a good body people are going to notice. It's not like a T-shirt or a regular tank top leave that much to the imagination. Men don't titillate anyone by showing off their sides, so either cover up or be super obnoxious and go shirtless.
