Todays post is a different one its about what shirts do women prefer on men. I have never talked about mens fashion on the blog but why not? Specially if its a post on women's liking on men.
When choosing a shirt to impress, a few
questions might cross a man’s mind: does it match with the trousers? Is the
material of a good quality? Is it suitable for the dress code? Something that
men should also be asking is – what does this colour say about me?
Research has shown that the colour of a
man’s shirt can perceive them in a certain way, if you’re looking to come
across as powerful; choose red. If you want to show confidence, always opt for
black. With help from Charles Tyrwhitt, experts in gentlemen’s fashion
and retailers of men’s
formal shirts, lets investigate further and find out which colours women
prefer on men.
Choosing the right colour
When it comes to deciding which coloured
shirt to buy, there are some that are perceived more positively by the opposite
sex. Consider purchasing one of the following coloured shirts on your next
shopping trip if you’re looking to dress to impress…
Red
Associated with Valentine’s Day and all
things romantic, red signifies love and passion. It is thought that the
attraction to red comes from our biological roots – many animals such as
baboons are attracted to the opposite sex if they display bright colours. To
wear this on a first date might be slightly overpowering, however it does give
off some vibes that your date might be interested in.
If you’re looking to demonstrate power and a
strong social status, red is a good colour to go for. Research found that wearing
red can actually boost the wearers own confidence, which will be a good thing
during a first date for women who are looking for a man with some self-assurance.
A red shirt can indicate that you have good health and are financially stable,
two more things a woman may have on their checklist when looking for a new
partner.
In a survey which explored the
attractiveness of men in different coloured shirts, red was found to be more
attractive than blue or green. This perception was a global consensus - so
wherever in the world you go wearing a red shirt, expect to get a similar
reception.
However, although the colour was linked to
romance it was not associated with the wearer being kind or sociable – perhaps
you’ll have to demonstrate these traits through the power of conversation
instead.
Black
Although originally kept in the wardrobe
for mourning, black is now worn for various occasions by many fashion
followers. Similar to red, black can be perceived as the colour of
self-assurance – 56% of women said that it inspired confidence. Other comments
included that the colour black made the wearer appear more intelligent and sexy
– perfect for a first date!
Black is renowned for being worn at classy events. Too much black can be overpowering, so if you opt for a black shirt you
should avoid pairing it with a black jacket, pants and shoes too. It is a
versatile colour and don’t be afraid to mix and match, for example denim jeans
and a black shirt is a good casual outfit for many events.
White
White was another colour that rated high in
terms of clothing. It was perceived to be the least arrogant colour and instead
gave off the impression that the wearer was full of optimism!
A white shirt is a nice and classic look
for when you are trying to impress at a formal event. However, during research,
it was the definitive white t-shirt and jeans combo that caught women’s eyes
and was perceived to be the more attractive look for a man.
Ones to avoid
There are also some colours to avoid when
it comes to choosing a shirt. In many surveys revolving around the
attractiveness of colour, orange and brown consistently performed poorly. They
often are perceived as quite boring, drab colours although a bright orange
shirt could brighten up an outfit nicely on a summer’s day.
Pink didn’t go down very well either. Only
5% of people thought that intelligent people would wear this colour!
Other tips
When choosing a coloured shirt consider the
following tips too:
· . Many men
look great in a colour that matches their eyes, if you have green eyes perhaps
opt for a moss green shirt- a popular colour this season
· . Avoid
wearing dark colours if you have a light complexion, this can really draw your
skin tone out and make you appear paler
· . If you
have dark hair, opt for bright colours as these are likely to complement you
more.
Love it! x

I don't prefer red. I prefer black and white mostly and light blue. It makes men look good. Moreover I prefer formal over casual.
ReplyDeleteI guess everyone has different choices.
This was interesting to read. I never knew which color shirts ranked higher that women preferred on men. If I had to vote I would choose blue. My husband looks amazing in blue.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting read. I do love buying white and black colored shirts for my husband as he look great in that color and it is also his favorites.
ReplyDeleteI quite like dark colours on my partner like dark blues and purples as I think they suit him. But he does also suit and look good in a pink shirt so I sit with the minority there x
ReplyDeleteI have always believed in the psychology of colors and I would have to agree that choosing the appropriate colors is something that we have to consider especially during important events.
ReplyDeleteIt is also very important that we equip our wardrobe with the basics such as black, red and white. :)
I prefer black,white and light shades on men that too formals. It make them look gentleman and classy
ReplyDeleteI like basic colours on a man, black, white, grey. I think it just looks classic and smart!
ReplyDeleteCan't go wrong with neutrals, they almost always look good with anything. Personally though, I love bold colors. Anyway, this is such a fun read dear. Thanks for sharing!

Hahaha! I never thought about intelligence and color. Although I am guessing there are other reasons they perceive a man wearing pink would not be intelligent. But I don't know. I guess I will have to be wearing more reds. I do a lot of blues because it really does make my eyes pop.
ReplyDeleteI always prefer black and white on my love :)
