1. Sunglasses
In a her impending book, Vanessa Brown, senior lecturer of art and design at Nottingham Trent University, found that sporting shades will make you instantly more attractive to members of the opposite sex. Aside from the fact that it adds a little mystery to the mix and increases your sex drive, sunglasses make your face look more symmetrical — and according to previous studies, we’re all more attracted to people with symmetrical faces than misshapen ones. Plus, who hasn’t seen that photo of Audrey Hepburn and thought, I want to be that girl?
Just do us all a favor, though — keep the shades for outside use only, okay?
2. Perfume
Research from the Monell Chemical Sense Center found that women’s faces are rated as more attracted when those judging her are in the presence of pleasant odors. So, for the sake of doing everything but carrying around a bottle of Lysol disinfectant spray, just consider upping the spray count of your morning routine. The researchers were also quick to point out that wearing perfume won’t make you look any younger, only prettier, and that attractiveness is more of an emotional process, while judging someone for their age stems from a rationally-based place.
