Wearing Shabbos clothing on a date during the 9 days

Question:

Is one allowed to wear Shabbos Clothing on a date during the 9 days?

Answer:

Yes one may wear shabbos clothes on a date during the nine days. The reason is that a date is considered a tzorech mitzva, and if the boy doesn’t look presentable it can have a negative effect on the outcome.
