Bring Out the Love: Wear Red on Valentine’s Day

It’s no coincidence that red is considered the color of love. It’s not just folklore or Hallmark’s doing either. Studies have proven that the color red has an impact on a man’s reaction to a woman.

Yes, red clothing will turn your man on. A sexy red dress, a simple red sweater, or a slick red ladies suit could do more than make you look amazing; these red clothes could make him want you even more.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

According to a 2008 study completed by the University of Rochester, “the color red makes men feel more amorous toward women. And men are unaware of the role the color plays in their attraction.”

In the study, they tested men’s reactions to photos of women wearing five different colors. Researchers concluded that men’s response to red was most likely a biological response and not a socialized response.

In a brief article describing the study (click here if you want to read it in full), the university outwardly claims these findings will impact the fashion industry, and we here at DressMakerInABox.com agree. A powerful red dress or separate piece should be a staple in every woman’s wardrobe.

Now that you know red improves the likelihood of a man finding you attractive, we think you should wear fashionable red clothing in these situations:

First dates, second dates, and the hundredth date (you get the idea)
In the photo you upload to your online dating profile
After a big fight with your sweetheart
Wear red on Valentine’s Day!

We wish all of our readers a fabulous Valentine’s whether you are looking for cupid to strike or not. And enjoy the chocolate candy hearts too – they’re our favorite.
