Likewise, women may be more drawn to men when they wear red

Following his 2008 study, Elliot and colleagues looked at the effect of the color red on women's attraction to men. In a study from 2010, across seven experiments, female participants rated men as more attractive and sexually desirable when they looked at a photo of them on a red background or wearing red clothing.

Elliot and his colleagues also found that women viewed men in red as higher in status, more likely to make money, and more likely to "climb the social ladder," which they presented as an underlying reason for the so-called "red effect."
