Instead of displaying that they could afford the buy expensive things, they are relaying that they can spend their social capital. It's like transmitting that they can still feel successful and influential; without conforming to the standards. 

Think of Mark Zuckerberg with his hoodies while talking with all his executives. Another name is the Apple CEO Steve Jobs in his black turtleneck and straight-cut jeans. While they hold the highest positions in their respective companies, they prefer offbeat clothes while in a professional setting.  

The Red Sneaker Test was conducted by recruiting 59 male executives for a public symposium about management, negotiations, and business. A women wearing red sneakers led the seminar. After the convention, the male executives were given a chance to answer questions about the status, prestige, and competence of the women. The result - most of them gave first-rate status, uniqueness, and creativity to the lady speaker.

The conclusion is, people who prefer wearing offbeat clothes in a formal, corporate setting are often distinguished as having superior status and more competent than those who dress up conventionally.

The color red is undeniably one of the colors that can easily draw attention. There are some positive and negative denotations associated with the color red: 

  • Life and Love - The red hue is also linked to romantic and familial love. When we celebrate love, we tend to use red outfits or give red roses. The red stimulates more profound and intimate passion found within us. However, too much of it can turn into revenge and anger.  
  • Ambition and Confidence - The color red is also believed in giving confidence to those lacking willpower, strong leadership traits, such as determination and enthusiasm. 
  • Appetite - Furthermore, red is related to appetite as it increases your craving for food and all other stimuli. Most restaurants use red for this rationale. 
  • Luck - This can be observed in the Asian region, where red is associated with luck. Chinese use mostly red in their businesses, special occasions, and in their churches as it attracts luck and good fortune. 
  • Dominance - Athletes prefer red as it gives them a more aggressive and powerful feel, thus boosts their testosterone level in their blood. There is a study that teams who wore red had more significant chance of winning than those who wore blue. This color echoes strong and powerful masculine energy. 
  • Energy and Aggression - This color is associated with the increase in heart and respiration rate that may lead to irritation and aggression. Red also energizes thus it excites the emotions and serves as motivation too. 
  • Danger - Red has been used in fight or flight response when one feels they are in danger. The respondent will either feel more hostile or stressed out. Too much red will make us feel agitated while too little will tend to make us feel fearful.
