My wardrobe is mostly filled with shirts and ties. I'm used to either dressing up professionally. Is a shirt and tie fine for a date?

I guess I can wear a dress shirt (tucked in) with some khakis

If that's you then wear that.

If you want help then I would think a tie is too much.

Yes! Lets get on that. Can we combine some 'favorite' words in there for advertising? How about Flatsy Tights for under SLACKS, and binder TUNICS for under TOPs, to match. All in one package, SIDE by EACH hanging up at the check out. The catchy phrase can be: "GALS get rid of those unsightly BUTTOCKS! More uni-boob, less wiggle!"

Wear what makes you comfortable. If she doesn't want to date you based on the style of clothes you wear, then there's a reason why she's single.

I used to rock that look back in the 90s (with jeans and sans the pastels, of course). I called it "LA casual."

I would never wear a tie on a date unless it was a formal event that called for it, like a wedding or funeral date (lol). I would be super uncomfortable like I was on a job interview.
