Swipe Right: The Clothes That Get Us Hot Under The Collar

The UK’s most swiped-for items are cargo trousers, receiving a whopping 22,456 matches across the UK, and proving to be most popular in London! On TikTok, the ‘workmentrousers’ hashtag has received over 556 thousand views, showing us just how much the popularity of this item has soared across social media.

At boohooMAN, we know not everyone is lucky enough to experience the magnetism of wearing cargo trousers. But if you aren’t a tradie and still want to reap the benefits, check out our very own boohooMAN cargo trouser dupe.

If you want to show that you’re not just all work no play, it might be time to swap your skinny jeans for a baggier fit. Another item with an epic amount of matches was a pair of loose fit jeans, receiving 13,627 in total, most of which came from swipers in Birmingham and Leeds. This proves that it’s time to leave your spray-on jeans in the past to not only give your legs some circulation back, but also to bag yourself a date.

Here at boohooMAN, we love to get suited and booted, and it’s clear to see the rest of the UK are in agreement! Raking up 8,883 matches, suits were the fourth most popular item in this study. From Mr Grey to 007, suits are a sure-fire way to bag yourself a date! If you fancy dressing to impress on your next date, then check out our tailoring range.

The UK’s least swiped for item of clothing, receiving only 1,066 matches, was the vest top, which was least popular in Belfast. It’s clear from our research that if you’re not in the gym working out, or laid by the pool in Ibiza, a vest top is not going to help you land a date. Maybe try something with sleeves?

Another item of clothing with very few matches was the humble beanie. Although we think a beanie gives off a certain edge, clearly the British public don’t agree - this item only received 1,350 matches in total. If you still fancy your chances and are looking to keep your head warm in the winter, shop our collection of beanies.

After the white jeans uproar, it is clear to see the hostility towards this item has not died down. White jeans only received 1,541 matches across the UK! However, the team here at boohooMAN says hang back on throwing your white jeans away, as everyone knows that fashion trends never truly die - what goes around comes around.

Now that lockdown is a distant memory and our date nights no longer have to be over Facetime, it's crucial our outfits are on point.
