The Woman in Red

A man once said not to judge a person by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. But does the same thinking apply to the color of your clothing?

According the the University of Rochester, it does.

Scientists wanted to see whether or not the colors you wear have any affect on the way people perceive you. The findings are surprising, especially with the color red.

They found that when the model was wearing red, she was more likely to be thought of negatively, especially by other women. The respondents thought of her as promiscuous and more likely to try to steal a man from another woman.

In contrast, the male respondents were actually more attracted to the woman in red because they thought she would be more interested in sex and easier to get into bed.

Of course, these presumptions are ridiculous, but it just goes to show you, the stigma of the woman in red is still alive and well.
