Can I wear trainers on a first date?!

So I’ve got a first date this evening, we’re only meeting for a drink in a local village pub/restaurant, It’s quite a nice one.
I haven’t been on a first date in a long time!
I don’t want to wear heels as I’m already tall at 5ft8,
so I was going to go for a floral mini/summer skirt and my nice trainers that are a similar colour with a long sleeve top to match…too casual??

I know people wear trainers for everything now but I’m starting to panic!!

Sounds perfect!!
If he wants you to dress up in heels he can take you somewhere smart for date 2

Of course. Have a lovely time

Yes definitely wear the trainers, they’re comfy and more in fashion than heels now anyway ( non of my younger colleagues at work ever wear heels on nights out!!) . I wore trainers on my first date with my boyfriend a few years back 😊 good luck with the date!
