FIRST DATE FASHION

The first date was a success, conversation flowed pleasantly and the both of you laughed all night, but you never heard from him again? Well it could have been down to what you wore according to the Daily Mail.

The newspaper claims a recent study has revealed: “Men are most likely to form a relationship with a woman who wears red on the first date.”

Deciding what to wear on a first date is every woman’s dilemma, however it’s just got a lot easier because according to recent survey conducted by vouchercodes.co.uk all you have to wear is red to attract him. The psychology behind the colour red has long been known for its positive connotations such as passion, love and romance, thus possibly evoking these emotions on a first date.

However the survey concluded ladies are to steer clear of particular colours: “men voted yellow (39 per cent) and brown (28 per cent) as the colours most likely to put them off members of the opposite sex.”

It’s not you...it’s your red trousers!



Attention men! Never dress like this for a date.

There’s always that one ‘thing’ – whether it’s his shoes, hair, jeans or moustache that turns you off, it can completely ruin the date before it’s even begun.

For me it was his bright RED trousers.

Groomed and preened he stood at the entrance of the station waiting for me to arrive. As I walked towards him the first thing that caught my attention was his bright RED trousers. Too late to turn around I greeted him with a wide smile. 

“You look lovely,” he said.

“Thank you,” I replied.

Call me vain and materialistic but I couldn't respond "so do you” because it would have been a lie. Admittedly he looked great from the waist up, but a tragedy on the bottom half.

I had met red trouser guy once before. Good looking, charming and very funny, I was ecstatic when he asked me on a date. But I didn’t fancy him the second time around. The red trousers had immediately put me off.

Honestly I consider myself an open-minded and down to earth person, so a pair of trousers should not have stopped me from fancying him. Cliché as it sounds; it’s what’s on the inside that counts, right? Plus the exterior can be changed.

During the date the conversation flowed satisfactorily. The spark wasn’t there and I knew I wasn’t going to see him again. The trousers killed the conversation, if you get what I mean?

During the course of our conversation bizarrely he asked: “What do you think of my outfit, do you like my trousers?” 

Was he psychic? Did he notice my eyes wondering to his legs more often than his face?

Ironically he said: “My sister (who works in fashion) told me not to wear these trousers, but I like them and wanted to wear them tonight.”

“THEY ARE BLOODY HIDEOUS! WHY WOULD YOU IGNORE YOUR FASHIONISTA SISTERS ADVICE?” I wanted to scream.

Unfortunately I’m not a mean person and replied: “It’s very brave of you to go against your sister’s advice, but they’re nice.” 

Sometimes lying is the only option.

The red trousers had completely put me off. What a bitch?

And In case you’re wondering? Indeed that was the last time I saw the red trousers.

I know I’m not alone on the subject of dating and that ‘one thing’. A friend of mine solely looks at guys shoes first before looking at his face. Has anyone else experienced a date like this? What puts you off? I would love to know and it would help confirm that I’m not a total cow!
