Well guys, it seems a bit dubious to me.

I admit I don't know much about style or fashion, but

First of all,

How do you actually pull off wearing red casually on the street or in business? A polo (eh....) or a red collar shirt with a black jacket over it come to mind. But the former seems a bit too casual and the latter seems flashy. Maybe a red tie.

It seems to me that wearing red implies informal, young, and not a mature look because it is a bright color and it is typically worn by children or teenagers.

And I would never wear this: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--ANpW-QkcjI/T-MdfvMQZeI/AAAAAAAABWo/ftLSGR7cHAU/s1600/AndrewGarfield.jpg

Let's not debate pseudoscience. Let's not talk about biology, cultures, theories, or red jerseys.

Let's talk about skin tone and business casual or higher. How to wear red and look like an adult.

First please tell me about how you would actually pull off wearing red. And still look mature.

I have a red sweater that I'm partial to. A little brighter than my usual garb, but not overly so

(of course, now isn't exactly the best time of year for wearing one)

Red bandanas are worn by frisbee-catching dogs. And fisters. Don't forget the fisters.

Red trousers, m8. Red trousers are full of the win.

I am not sure you are guys are being very serious because that picture of the guy puking looks pretty disgusting and I don't understand what fisting has to do with anything

It sounds like the only way to pull it off would be with a red tie

I didn't read the article, but I don't think it honestly matter what colors you actually wear. I mean you can say its scientifically proven, but really, you just need to look clean and sophisticated.

Also, I read the reverse in another study. It stated that men are more attracted to women wearing red, but women are more attracted to men wearing blue.

I like red color but not more than white. I like to wear white t-shirts and shirts very much, sometimes in the party i wear red jacket. I think Mostly Girls are used to wear red dresses.
