A recent survey conducted by LimeRoad, a style and commerce platform, and dating app Truly Madly revealed how men desired to look on their first dates. “From a sample size of 2,000, about 60 per cent [of] men showed inclination on having a stylist of the opposite sex when getting ready for that special date, whereas, 40 per cent of respondents shared that they would like their female friends to guide them through,” reports The Indian Express.

In fact, men who see the significance in dressing for a romantic night out are open to hiring professional stylists for help, instead of sticking to the basics in their closets.

Suchi Mukherjee, Founder and CEO of LimeRoad, explains that the platform is an outlet for its users to “discover their style and delightful products with the Scrapbook Looks. These looks are basically virtual stylists, one can mix and match products for different moods and creations.”

This explains why digital bulletin boards such as Pinterest have become increasingly popular—users can concentrate their interests in one area. The dating app Truly Madly joined forces with LimeRoad to help gentlemen with the style discovery process. According to The Indian Express, women were asked to create date looks for men using LimeRoad’s new collection and over 6,000 date looks were created in two days.
