In 2021, February 5 is designated to be “Wear Red Day”. Red reads romance, power, and demands attention — that’s why we are drawn to red. But National Wear Red Day is a day in February when many people wear red to show their support for the awareness of heart disease. Yes, it actually has nothing much to do with Valentines Day.

Infact it draws attention towards a very serious issue – heart disease. It started in America and ofcourse continues to be an American tradition.
