Wearing Red

If you’d like to attract the opposite sex – wear some red!

Wearing the color red can have a big effect on the opposite sex. It’s nothing new – in primitive societies sacred things were painted or adorned in red to convey a sense of great importance. In a recent study – men either wearing or surrounded by the color red were perceived as more attractive and of higher status by women. Women in red were perceived as sexy by the guys.

You CAN overdo it with red. Too much of it can actually make you appear intimidating and unapproachable. Smaller accessories like a belt, scarf or red tie are enough to achieve that red impact.
