Whether it's a smudge of lipstick or a bright dress, the colour red has long been associated with power and seduction. But it's apparently not just a cliche - wearing red does actually make women feel sexier, according to a study.

According to research by the University of Rochester, women find men wearing the colour red more sexually attractive than other colours. The colour's charm ultimately lies in its ability to make men appear more powerful.

Feminine colours are usually softer and lighter: pastels and pale colours, muted dove blues and greens, and soft metallics and pearlescents. Match those with florals, lace, damask and chinoiserie, and you have what society would call a feminine room.

Warm colors include red, orange, and yellow, and variations of those three colors. Red and yellow are both primary colors, with orange falling in the middle.
Darker shades of colors like blue, purple and brown can also help to hide flaws and create a slimming illusion. On the other hand, lighter colors, like white and khaki, can add pounds and give the illusion of a larger frame. Don't wear a white blouse if you want to camouflage a large chest.
