Can You Wear a Wool Overcoat for a First Date?
A wool overcoat over a shirt dress or cashmere sweater sets the right tone for a first date—polished enough to show you made an effort, but not so formal that drinks or dinner feels like a board meeting. Finish with ballet flats and a statement necklace to keep the look approachable and intentional without overdoing it.
