A new study published in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior finds that women wearing heels are considered more attractive than women wearing flats by both men and women. Researchers from the University of Portsmouth say heels change how the body moves- including the pelvis, hips, legs, knees, feet and shoulders- in a way that exaggerates femininity. Researchers say the high heel has stood the test of time because of evolution. One researcher says, “If wearing high heels emphasizes some sex-specific aspects of the female form they may make women more attractive, and one motivation….for wearing heels is that it is part of mate selection.”(YourTango)
