The answer is yes.
Men are known to be visual creatures. That would explain why appearance is the first thing they will notice in women.
Dressing to impress is definitely a plus as long as you do not overdo it. By overdo I mean do not dress in an outfit that screams desperation.
If you find heels uncomfortable, opt for flattering sandals or doll shoes.
Remember to pay attention to the hemline of your skirt or dress. Wearing an outfit that needs to be pulled down every ten minutes is just tacky. Wear a length which you are confident in and while at it, ensure that the outfit suits your body frame.
Do not lose your personality in the quest to impress a man. Incorporate your sense of style in the outfit you want to wear. Whether its bohemian, chic, goth or even African. Accessories are a good way to spice up your look.
Dress appropriately for the date. It makes no sense to wear heals to a rugby match or a sports date. If you are going for dinner, find a nice evening dress to wear.
If the date location is unknown try and strike a balance between casual and dressy.
Good luck!
