Whether we realize it or not, color influences how we view the world.
There is a name for this phenomenon; color psychology.
Simply put, color affects us both physically and mentally.
Likewise, we often associate each color with emotions.
For example, red and pink are tied to love, while black conjures sorrow.
The same can be said about wearing specific colors.
Experts like psychologist Bethany Cook toldReal Simplethat incorporating color psychology into our fashion choices is a positive decision.
Cook suggests taking note of your feelings while you try on different-colored outfits.
From there, choose your outfit according to the colors that represent those feelings."
Real Simple adds that colors can have different meanings for different people based on our experiences.

Yellow is a trending colorthat evokes brightness and positivity.
Unsurprisingly, wearingyellow outfitsis said to have mood-boosting qualities.
Nevertheless, research shows that yellow will backfire if you wear this joyful hue out on dates.

They also concluded that men and women found dates in yellow outfits unappealing.
George Charles from vouchercodespro.co.uk explained to the Daily Mail why yellow might deter dates.
In color psychology, brown has negative associations and is seen as boring and isolating.
The same is true for gray, which lacks emotion.
So what should you wear on a date?
Studies have continually shown that men and women find their dates in red or black outfits the most attractive.
The study states that female baboons and chimpanzees redden to find a potential mate.
However, regardless of science or studies, you should wear what you want.
In the end, colors should express your personality and how you feel.
Whatever color you choose on a date, wear it proudly and with assurance.
