Despite all the hype around date-night outfits and dressing up for your significant other, it seems men mostly like to see ladies in jeans and tees, i.e., casual and relaxed.
We spoke to ridiculously good-looking male specimen Tyson Beckford in advance of his appearance as Fashion Queen's first-ever guest this Sunday and asked him why the combo has such a pull.
"They don't want to see girls dressed up because it reminds them of work. The weekend has more of a relaxed feeling," he explained. "It's about simplicity now with men."
There's a denim caveat though. "I'm not so much a fan of the boyfriend jeans, but I understand that sometimes you want to be comfortable as a woman. I love the skinny jeans," he said, admitting "there might be a few" guys out there who like the baggier style. "We don't want you to look like a little boy. God gave you guys a figure for a reason."
For occasions that warrant a more upscale approach, Tyson is more old-fashioned. "Guys want to see women dress like women. Miniskirts, pencil skirts, pleated skirts, dresses. I also like what's going on now. It's more of an adult dressing style."
Oh, and while he said he totally understands why ladies love their bags, he has strong opinions about the crazy-high prices of some designer styles. "I can buy a motorcycle for that price. That's an engagement ring. I don't know what's going on."
What do you like to wear on date night? Do you agree with Tyson's take?
