    Did you know that 33% of people would say “no thanks” to a second date based on fashion alone?

    It’s Valentine’s Day, and that means a lot of people will be going out on dates.

    Hinge reports a 35% surge in dates arranged on Valentine’s Day, while Tinder sees a whopping 11.4 million more messages exchanged around the February 14th mark. From securing a date to planning the perfect evening, there’s plenty to think about—and one potential dealbreaker you might not consider is your outfit.

    To help you avoid fashion missteps and maximise your chances of a second date, a global survey by BestBettingSites.com polled 3,000 people to reveal the biggest fashion mistakes to steer clear of on Valentine’s Day.

    Here are some outfits that you should avoid on a date:
