By Yay Cork February 6, 2018April 29, 2020

Yep; it’s a scientific fact; studies show that both guys and gals tend to rate women wearing red as more sexually attractive.

But whether you’re looking for love or not this Valentine’s Day, there are plenty of other reasons to join in the cheesy fun.

While red is the colour of love and lust, the signature shade of seduction, colour experts also agree it’s the ideal hue to wear if you need a confidence boost or a shot of determination.

Here are ten bold and bright bits and bobs to buy for the week that’s in it…
