It does not only make women appear more intelligent, but faithful; says a study conducted on women’s dress, presented at the British Psychological Society’s conference in Nottingham.

Two different pictures (a very short skirt, and a jacket; a longer skirt and a better top) of a fashion model who is on her 30 were shown to a group of 64 study participants who were to rank her for intelligence, personality, faithfulness, intention to have sex and morality.
Researchers say there was no difference except for faithfulness and intelligence, according to the ratings done by the participants.
Have attitudes changed so much that people are not making negative judgments based on a woman’s dress? Dr Gaitan said.
