Red is the color of fire and blood, and is a very emotionally intense color. This is why it is associated with passion, desire, and love. Studies show that red can have a physical effect, increasing the rate of respiration and raising blood pressure. Wear red when you want to stand out from the crowd and be noticed.
The two dresses shown above, from 1955, are perfect examples of how to get noticed in a sea of black cocktail dresses during the holiday party season. Do you dare?
