text: For a first date you don't want to seem too severe (so no black, unless you just love it) and you don't want to be loud either (so no red, unless you just love it).\n\nSo earth tones or jewel tones, whichever works best on you.\n\nYou do want to be yourself, so if you are always wearing black (or red) as your signature color, then wear that.
