Formal Meeting

Shirt: Crisp, white, buttoned-up cotton shirts are usually a safe option; however, something with a pattern or simple colour is also suitable.
Suit: A two-piece or three-piece suit in dark charcoal or navy is an ideal choice of clothing for a board meeting. Ensure it’s of good quality and has a tailored fit
Accessories: A silk tie is a must, as well as subtle cufflinks, a leather belt and a watch.
Shoes: Black or brown oxfords or brogues (don’t forget the matching Socks)

*Casual Date night
Always wear a watch: If there’s one thing you should always wear on a first date, it’s a nice watch. It doesn’t have to be super expensive either — wear one with a metallic strap for a dressy dinner.
Lean toward dark or neutral colors: Understated, muted colors keep your entire look grounded and sophisticated. Think navy, gray, white and black. It puts the focus on you and your conversation and not on what you’re wearing. This applies to your jeans as well. Dark wash, always.
A little spritz of cologne: Smelling good is just as important as dressing right. A simple spray of your favorite scent (one inside your shirt and one outside, near your neck) is all you need to make a subtle impact. You wouldn’t want the smell to overpower the room.
Polish your shoes: Please don’t overlook the importance of clean shoes. If you’re wearing dress shoes, a quick black or brown polish is all it takes to make them look brand new. If you chose to wear sneakers, make sure all scuff marks and signs of wear are gone.
