穿純白T恤的男人更有魅力

Men wearing a simple T-shirt look more attractive to women, according to new research.

根據新的研究表明，女性覺得穿簡單T恤的男性更有魅力。

Women find a man in a plain white T-shirt up to 12 per cent more attractive, scientists claim. A plain white T-shirt can create an illusion that broadens the shoulders and slims the waist, producing a more V-shaped body, which is a top sign of masculinity.

科學家表示，高達12%的女性認爲穿純白T恤的男性更有魅力。純白色的T恤會產生一種錯覺，讓肩膀看起來更寬闊腰部更消瘦，產生了更好的V形身體，這是一種很強的陽剛之氣的表現。

The highest increase in good looks were for men who were the most out of the shape, according to researchers at Nottingham Trent University.

根據諾丁漢特倫特大學的研究人員的研究表明，魅力分增加最多的往往是那些體型最不好的男性。

Men who were already well toned only saw a slight increase in their attractiveness rating when they wore the white short-sleeved top with a large black letter T printed on the front.

那些外形本來就很讚的男性，當他們穿着白色短袖且上衣正面印有一個大的黑色字母T恤時，他們外表的吸引力魅力值只增加了一點點。

Nottingham Trent University psychologist Dr Andrew Dunn told the Daily Mail: “The effect was most notable for normal men with a waist as wide as their shoulders.

諾丁漢特倫特大學心理學博士安德魯-鄧恩告訴《每日郵報》：“這種效果對那些腰和肩膀一樣寬的正常人來說最明顯。”

“Whereas with those who are already in good shape, the T was simply amplifying the body shape they already had, so the benefit was less marked.”

"而與那些身材已經很好的人來說，T恤上的圖案只是簡單地突出了他們已經有的好身材而已，所以這樣的效果就較不明顯"。

The team said a waist-to-chest ratio (WCR) of between 0.7 and 0.8 - where the shoulders are around 20 per cent broader than the hips - was seen as the ideal.

這個研究小組說，腰圍和胸圍比在0.7和0.8之間，也就是肩寬大概比突圍寬20%左右，是最理想的身材。

The study involved showing 30 female undergraduates, aged 18 to 25, images of five different male body shapes and asked them to mark their perceived attractiveness and health.

研究邀請了30位18-25歲的女大學生，給她們看了5個不同身材的男性的照片，並且要求她們標註5個男性的吸引力和健康程度。

He added: “Clearly there are individual tastes and preferences, but we can see here how fashion could have an implicit positive or negative effect on perceived attractiveness and health.

他補充說："很明顯這裏有個人品味和偏好的影響，但我們在這裏可以發現，時尚怎樣對吸引力和健康有隱形的積極影響或是負面影響。”

“It suggests that you can use this kind of optical illusion that artists and fashion designers use all the time to tap into our basic sensory psychology.”

“研究表明你可以使用這種視覺上的錯覺，藝術家和時裝設計師一直也正是利用這種錯覺，來研究我們基本的感官心理。”
