The first date is your chance to impress. Pick a restaurant with character, great food and amazing cocktails. Once you’ve got the perfect spot, work out what you’re going to wear. If you look sharp you’ll earn points with your date—and then there’s no reason the evening has to end with just a peck on the cheek.
Polo Club
Give that worn office shirt a rest by donning a classic polo like this one from Kapok’s new individual label Future Classic.
Sweater Weather
Hong Kong’s not yet ready for jackets, but restaurants can get a bit cold so don’t forget to bring a sweater— it’s also the perfect opportunity to break the ice and offer your partner some warmth. This super soft Cashmere Crew Neck sweater from Grana is a great bet.
Belt It Out
The belt is an all-important finishing touch. But stay away from the big, shiny, branded buckles, which suggest insecurity. Grab a nice, classic belt like this one from Zara.
Blue Jean Boy
You don’t need to wear formal trousers but definitely don’t show up in sweatpants! Keep it in the middle ground with a nice (not torn) pair of blue jeans like these from Topman.
