First Date Fail: Colors To Avoid For A Chance At A Second Date

Author Kayla Morgan

First impressions are powerful, and when it comes to a first date, they can set the tone for the entire experience. While many factors contribute to a favorable first impression, your choice of outfit plays a significant role. It’s not just about looking stylish but also about wearing something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. The right outfit can showcase your personal style and make a positive impact on your date. However, it’s not only the style that influences your first date. There are experts that shared what colors you should avoid wearing to create a good first impression.

What colors should you avoid if you want a second date?

Best Life Online gathered data from a relationship expert to determine what colors you should avoid if you want a second date. According to Laura Wasser, a relationship expert and chief of divorce evolution at Divorce.com, colors have the power to elicit various emotions and associations. It’s essential to be mindful of the colors you choose, as selecting the wrong one could unintentionally convey a message or create a negative impression.

The research indicates that our minds tend to associate the color brown with elements like the poop emoji, dirt, or an overly ripe banana. Considering this, it might be wise to steer clear of brown when selecting an outfit for a first date. However, it’s worth noting that not all shades of brown should be entirely off-limits. While darker browns may be best avoided, a camel color with a touch of orange can be a more appealing and flirtatious choice.

The data also revealed that black is considered an acceptable color to wear on a first date. In fact, it can give off an air of sophistication and a hint of mystery. Though their findings suggest that an all-black ensemble might make you appear unapproachable or overly somber. To counterbalance this, the website suggests incorporating a pop of color into your outfit to create a more approachable and inviting impression.

The study dives into the effects of vibrant colors like yellow and neutral tones like gray. For a full breakdown of their findings, you can see the complete study here.
