Men In Red
The color red has been shown to affect the way someone thinks of the person wearing it. Studies were done with undergraduate students in many countries and in sum, here are the findings:
“Eliot found that the impact of the color red made the man seem more powerful, attractive, and sexually desirable. However, the color red did not make the man seem more likable, kind, or sociable. In addition, when the male study participants were asked to view and rate the attractiveness of a pictured male, the color of the clothing or border made no difference in their responses.”
