We can look to nature for a bit of explanation. “Red is what you wear when you want to make a statement.
“In a lot of ways, red to me is attention-whether that means a negative or positive way of thinking,” Nyjerah Cunningham, a VIP stylist at professional women’s clothing company MM.LaFleur, tells HelloGiggles. But although the meanings of these phrases vary pretty significantly, most of them have one core component: visibility. Just consider the metaphors alone: red carpets, red flags, red herrings, being caught red-handed, scarlet letters, scarlet women, lady in red-the list goes on and on. Perhaps more than any other color, red carries a surprising multitude of meanings. The TL DR: red can impress and make a statement at work, but it very much depends on the context, audience, and message you’re trying to send. We dug through the science and long social history and consulted two stylists who work with professionals on their wardrobes to get to the bottom of the cultural myth about the power of red.
