Skinny jeans, boots, plain long sleeve T, leather jacket + fur scarf or or faux fur jacket. Nice shiny hair and good make up, possibly biggish hoop or drop earrings.

That's what i'd wear.

If it was a newish date i'd wear my over the knee block heel suede boots or heeled ankle boots, if you've been dating a while or he is very casual then knee high biker boots. (wellys in the boot in case there is a walk sprung on you!)

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 06/02/2015 18:06

I'd wear something along the lines of: skinnies, knee high or ankle boots, fitted jumper, biker jacket and faux fur scarf.

Oh I like a 'snap' with Remus she gives great fashion advice Grin

Hallamoo · 06/02/2015 19:49

Have you met in real life before?

If not, flat shoes.

Trills · 06/02/2015 20:03

Nothing wrong with looking "sloaney" if that's your style.

DarkNavyBlue · 06/02/2015 20:13

Denim knee length skirt, flat black knee high boots, dark grey cashmere sweater, red lipstick.

Linen blazer would be a, 'No' from me, sorry. It's February.

BritabroadinAsia · 07/02/2015 05:25

I like the top half half of DarkNavy's outfit, but if you have good legs then please show them off in jeans as per Remus and Faux's suggestions... and I wouldn't go with loafers or linen either - if you're cold you won't be comfortable/confident. Ok, nothing new to add, clearly!

BlueEyedWonder · 07/02/2015 07:17

Loafers and linen would get a no from me.

Dark rinse jeans, fitted cashmere crew neck /polo neck in navy. Tan ankle or knee high boots. Grey coat or coatigen, scarf, tan bag.

Wellies in car a good idea.

If it was a date-date I would be tempted to wear something that emphasises a good feature ie I have a slim but curvy shape - so would be tempted to wear something fitted (for me skinny jeans, charcoal/navy jumper or tight breton, ankle boots, sleek hair, smokey eye). Big scarf would swamp my niceish boobs and linen always wrinkles on me. You sound tall and slim with good legs - so either skinny jeans like others have said or a mini and tights. Highlight lips or eyes, whatever is better for you.

I would have suggested similar to blueeyed
