Depends would she feel underdressed if you were suited and booted?

All depends where really and whether you feel you need to fit with the norm. You can still wear a suit but with just a nice shirt only rather than tie etc. So a bit of demi smart but I am sure the ladies here will probably be best to advise you.

I don’t know. It’s a swanky restaurant so I know she will be smartly dressed

Then I would go for the suit.

If it's a wanky restaurant in Central London and it's a business lunch with a client... a suit would be best. Or smart trousers and a well tailored/fitting shirt.

Where are you having dinner?

If it's a nice but casual play you won't want to be sitting there looking like a trussed up turkey.

A suit doesn't have to look James Bondesque.

Suit’s fine, but be sure to wear a backwards baseball cap so she knows you are also comfortable with ‘casual’.

If it's a business lunch I'd go suited and booted, to me it shows professionalism and that you're serious, even if the client is more casual. Depends what business you're in though, more creative industries have a tendency to be more casual

Agree with suit but how does OP convey the I fancy you bit via his clothing choices. A suit in swanky London restaurant is unlikely to stand out

Good advice. As place quite smart you need to be smart/casual as minimum but yes sometimes a suit with just an appropriate shirt can look very smart, the continentals do it so well so I am sure we can too

Absolutely no tie!

Well cut and fitting trousers, clean and stylish shoes, good quality shirt and jacket.

It’s looking like a Suit but no tie is the general consensus

Client - is it a sub/dom situ or a real life paid job. (sorry, not read the rest of the comments)

If she's a client, shouldn't you be purely professional? And more worried about what she thinks about business/work than what you're wearing?

Oh it will be completely professional and I won’t be flirting with her that’s for sure. Can’t help finding her very attractive though. So want to leave her with a good impression.

A suit is easy to "dress down" on the spot. Lot harder to dress up.

Plus, suits rock. (in principal at least. They suck in 33 degrees).

Langans is quite smart; a suit and tie would be entirely appropriate.
