What to wear on my first date??!! Find your Fabulous with Fiona, April 22, 2023April 22, 2023 So you made that match and the texting and initial phone call went well. AND…amazing you have agreed on a place and time to meet – Fabulous! But now it hits you that you have no idea what to wear to make the best first impression that you can. So before you rush off to the closet to rifle through , or worse, think you have to go out and buy some new outfit, let’s take a look at the most basic decision about your clothing. That is, what is the best color to opt for that gives the best impression and makes you feel great? I would say that the top 5 colors to wear on a first date would be black, red, blue white and pink. Black would be my first choice mainly because of its versatility. It really can convey sophistication and elegance without appearing to try too hard. It is suitable for all occasions, so if it’s a coffee date or an elegant dinner out, this is a suitable color. Everyone looks good in black and having the confidence of looking good is a huge boost for a date. If you opt to wear red on your first date you can be sure that you are creating a bold and powerful impression. You are showing that you are not afraid to be who you are and that your date better be able to keep up with you. Conversely blue is a very calming color that can be associated with stability. It is also one of the most popular colors, so you are sure that it will be pleasing and reassuring for your date. White can be more dependent of the weather, but it’s also a very popular first date color because it is associated with purity, simplicity and it can help create a fresh and innocent atmosphere. I choose pink as my fifth option because it’s great but doesn’t suit everyone’s idea of the first impression they want to make. It can be a color that comes across as being very feminine and sweet. A little vulnerable perhaps. Different colors cause a different reaction for people. Nurses wear blue for example because it is seen as calming. There is a lot of science behind the study of how we react to color. However, the brain tends to be drawn to bright colors like red, yellow and green because they stimulate our visual system and capture our attention. There probably isn’t a universally worst color to wear on a first date, as people have different preferences and backgrounds. Having said that, however, bright bold colors like yellow, neons and loud patterns may distract. Ultimately the most important thing to wear is what makes you feel comfortable and confident as that can have a positive effect on your overall demeanor.
