Do you wear jeans on a date?

Back in my single days I would have spent hours fussing over date night clothes. But, now I'm much more relaxxed and confident and rarely get dressed up when my spouse takes me out to dinner. We hardly ever go any place fancy so there's no need to fuss over fancy clothes. Just being with him makes me feel special and beautiful, so any place we go is nice. Sometimes I'll even wear something casual like jeans if the occasion calls for it. Have you ever worn jeans on a date? Do you think you would? Do you dress differently for dates now that you are older than when you were in your early 20's or late teens?

My husband and I never go on dates that don't include our son, so I don't really get dressed up. Before we got married, we went out to fancier places a few times, so of course I dressed up to go there, but for the most part, I didn't really dress up even before we got married. My general guideline for what to wear when going out to dinner is that if I can wear it to church, I can wear it to eat. I don't get overly dressed up for church, but I also don't go in sweats or tshirts!

When I go out on dates, I tend to dress to the venue -- slacks and blouse for a nice restaurant or the theater, jeans and a cute top for burger joints and outdoor dates. I still sweat what to wear, even if it's just whether to wear black jeans or blue jeans. I've been pretty consistent about this over the years.

Yes I wear jeans on dates with my sig. other- I do dress up from time to time also- I dress up every day for work so wearing jeans out is a great feeling- and yes I used to take more effort in getting ready for dates when I was younger- more make-up hair had to be perfect LOL
