The Best of the MR Date Outfits

Just because we’re in the thick of Uncuffing Season and running around free of titles like “boyfriend” or “girlfriend” with our proverbial sleeves torn right off does not mean we are totally naked.

For the uninitiated (although considering it’s August you are probably getting your MFA in the matter), Uncuffing Season begins around Memorial Day and extends until the first signs of pumpkin spiced fall. Those who have not yet dropped L-bombs to (or made travel plans with) the people they’re “seeing” rid themselves of romantic responsibilities and become single for the summer.

Then October hits and everyone’s like, Waaaaa I just want someone to watch Netflix with : (

BUT THE POINT IS — you may very well be uncuffed. You could be texting Bumble prospects, hooking up with your neighbor or having staring contests with your wall; you still need clothes to wear. And why not wear clothes that give the appearance of having somewhere fun and mildly momentous to be?

See? Aren’t you already excited?

If that shit looks familiar that’s because it is. I pulled three outfit best-ofs from our past “what to wear” dating stories for you to copy right this very moment. I will copy them too.

Let’s start with that outfit above. You need: a button down, a pencil skirt and mules — the shoe, not the result of a horse mating with a donkey.

Fun fact: mules can’t reproduce!

Outfit number two:

Consider this an updated version of my 2013 suggestion that Leandra did better back in March. You’ll need: a button down (there are no other shirts worthy of our time), flares and a denim jacket. Shoes don’t matter because your pants should cover them, and please stop throwing protein at me: restaurants can be over air-conditioned and you may be chilly, hence the jacket. If you’re too hot, TAKE IT OFF.

Outfit number three:

Free to be you and me, man. Find the biggest skirt you can find, top it with a vest (if it’s not a button down, then let it not be a shirt at all, you know?) and add a pair of sandals that wrap around your ankles.
