Are you one of the people who like to wear the color red? Red is not my favorite color, but I do wear the color red and do buy clothing that is red. According to a report by the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, men think that women in photos wearing red were more attractive than women wearing other colors. I guess i need to wear red more since I am single.

I like red. But I rarely wear one. I prefer light and pastel-colored shirts. Red seems dark and too hot to wear.

Thank you for your response, radiance27. I too find red too hot to wear in the summer. It is not really my favorite color, but I do wear it sometimes especially around the Christmas holidays. Happy mylotting.

Sure, though I don't wear it all the time. Really? That's funny because I've gotten a few compliments before even when I've worn such colors as yellow or green. But then again maybe these guys didn't read the report so they didn't know any better! LOL Happy mylotting!

Hi, When I am much younger, I like to wear red. I am tan, therefore red makes me striking...lol Moreover, most Chinese ladies wardrobe will have red. This is because during Chinese New Year, we are encouraged to wear red shirt or dresses on the 1st day of Chineses Lunar New Year. It is believe to be very auspicious! If we wear red and visit the elders ie. grandparents, they are very happy and will give 'red packet with money inside' This red packets normally be give by elderly people or those marreid couple to children and those singles! All the best and hope to hear your views on my latest topic ~ Weddings...

I don't like wearing the color red. It can stand as the danger in a sign or anger in a picture. I have seen some lovely red dresses that are really attractive. I did have a red jumper when I was a teenager. For tops I think blue or green both suit me really well. They are the color of nature, the sea, the sky and the grass. Depending on a person's coloring they look great in certain colors.

Thank you for your response, maximax8. My brother used to buy me red things for Christmas, shirts, tops, pajamas and I just don't like to wear that much red. Now, he will say you don't like red do you. I just have to be in the right mood to wear red, because the color red will get you noticed. Have a great day.

Hey sweet! I am not a big fan of the color red myself, but people tell me I look good in it! I think because my hair is dark brown! It just isn't one of my favorite colors! I really don't care what other people think anyway! I like black and blue so I wear them more often and then I go to the other extreme and wear bright pink an green!

I don't like red also because I feel very uneasy when I wear red dresses or blouses. I am very uncomfortable with red, it feels very hot and warm. But I have atleast two red blouses, then I stop buying red colored outfits.

Thank you for your response, jlamela. Red is an uneasy color to wear. It is bright enough to get noticed in a crowd. I like purple and blue and some shades of green. Red is just a bright color. Have a great day.

Just as you, red is not my favorite color, but I do where it. I find the bright reds a bit too flashy for my taste. But then on some occasions I don't mind wearing reds.

Thank you for your response, cbeee3. Red is a feel good color for me. Meaning that if I don' feel well I don't want to wear red. I seems to make people notice me and when I feel bad I don't want to be noticed. Have a great day.

I tooo like wearing red color, as its so hot n catches everyone's eyes. But yep it also depenfds upon, where i 'm going, its day or night, that helps me decide to wear red or not. And see, in indians n chinese, both consider red as aspicious color too...

Thank you for your response, nehaagra. Red is a hot color and you are right, it depends on the occasion. I do wear red on different occasions. It usually depends on where I am going. The color red looks really pretty against dark sun tanned skin. Have a great day. Happy MyLotting.
