It's time to bust out that red dress you've been hiding in the back of your closet -- a 2008 study found wearing red seriously boosts your sex appeal. Researchers discovered this by asking 150 heterosexual males to rate a woman's attractiveness on a scale of one to seven, and found wearing red bumped her sex appeal up by an average of 1.25 points. Don't own anything red? Don't worry -- red nail polish will still send subtle sexiness cues to your man. And no matter what you wear, be sure your outfit emphasizes your curves. Studies show that curvy women are subconsciously perceived to be more fertile, which -- from an evolutionary perspective -- is a very good thing.

Don't wear red lipstick because "a poll run by Cosmo revealed men feel as though red lipstick makes kissing a girl too messy?" Yeah, because Cosmo's content is really worth a lot. "The nine different things you're doing to your vagina that could KILL YOU!" "I stalked my stalker, and then we got married." Oh, and don't forget: "657 sex tips on how to concentrate exclusively on your man's pleasure, so he'll call you again." Am I missing anything?

Wear red lipstick! You'll look hot!

Why is bronzer a "do"? Bronzers often make people look orange, which is unattractive. And frankly, some people look better with their fair skin.
