Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and if you're planning a special date with your significant other, you might be wondering what to wear. While you can never go wrong with a classic little black dress, you might want to consider adding a pop of color to your outfit. According to research, wearing red can have a powerful effect on men.

THE EVIDENCE

In a study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, researchers found that men were more attracted to women wearing red. The researchers conducted several experiments in which men were shown pictures of women wearing various colors, and in every experiment, the men rated the women in red as more attractive.

But it's not just red clothing that can be attractive to men. Another study, published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior, found that men were more attracted to women with red nails. The researchers conducted a series of experiments in which men were shown pictures of women with various nail colors and found that the men consistently rated the women with red nails as more attractive.

BUT WHY IS THIS A THING?

So why does wearing red or having red nails have such a powerful effect? According to the researchers, red is a highly stimulating color that is often associated with passion, love, and desire.

So this Valentine's Day, don't be afraid to bring some heat to your outfit or your nails with a splash of red. It could make all the difference in setting the mood for a romantic and memorable date.
