Forget boobs, bums, legs or flowing locks – Brits consider eyes the sexiest body part.

More than a third (34%) said someone’s eyes were the biggest turn-on when it came to looks. Hair was a hit for just one in 10, followed by a person’s lips, mouth or legs (7%), a study found.

‌Only 6% said breasts or a muscular chest were top, followed by arms (5%) and shoulders (4%). Most (39%) are attracted to blue eyes, while 17% prefer brown and 13% go for green.

Stephen Hannan, from Optical Express, which did the survey, said: “It’s clear the British public truly believes eyes are the windows to the soul.”

According to a 2017 study by online pharmacy Dr. Felix, 24% of women think a guy’s chest is the hottest area of his body.

Perhaps surprisingly, the second sexiest feature was a great hairstyle (22%).

Coming up next was a sexy pair of arms (19%) followed by his abs.

As superficial as it sounds, guys with big muscles come across more attractive to women because being buff is a subliminal sign of having good genes.

Muscular lads are likely to have more sexual partners than their scrawny mates said researchers at the University of California Los Angeles.

Lead author David Frederick said: “If you’re trying to figure out why men – especially young men – spend so much time at the gym, here’s your answer.

“The stereotype is that men work out to compete with each other, but our research suggests that pumping iron is a way for men to enhance their attractiveness to women.

“A lot of mate-selection research focuses on what men find attractive.

“This shows women are putting a premium on attractiveness. Women care about muscularity when they choose sex partners.”
