What to wear:
A recent survey has revealed that men are most likely to form relationships with women who wear red on a first date, while colours to avoid are yellow and brown.

The survey aimed to discover which colour of clothing was most likely to catch the eye of both men and women when dating, and just how significant clothing colour can be.

They asked a total of 1,128 female and 1,232 male adults all in relationships if they still remembered the outfit that their partner was wearing when they first met – 92 per cent of respondents did!

Then these individuals were asked what colour it was that stood out the most for them at the time…

Best colour to wear on a first date… Ladies:

1. Red - 27%
2. Blue - 19%
3. Green - 14%
4. Black - 11%
5. Purple - 8%

Gentlemen:

1. Grey - 24%
2. Black - 22%
3. Blue - 16%
4. Green - 8%
5. White - 7%

When asked if the colour had any impact on how much they were attracted to them, 69 per cent of men and 64 per cent of women admitted that it did.

What not to wear:
The survey revealed yellow and brown are most likely to put both sexes off on a first date - and women especially dislike a man in pink. Surprised?

G.Charles who conducted the survey said: “It is human nature to assess someone quickly. Fashion sense and clothing colour choice is one of the first things the brain will notice."

The City University of New York concluded by saying “Heterosexual men are sensitive to red colouration on women. Compared with a range of other colors,women viewed on red backgrounds or wearing red clothing are found more attractive.

Even when women are viewed carrying red objects (i.e.laptop or hand bag), they are found more attractive than when holding comparable objects in different colours”
