Wow, this is going to be a really random post – but I have a question that has been bugging me for months (if not years!). It’s nothing to do with being a Flight Attendant, I’ve just noticed it on a lot of my flights and would love to know your theories.

Ready? The question is…….

Why do the majority of wealthy men wear outrageous red trousers.

Usually jeans or corduroy trousers no less. Has anyone else noticed this trend? Or am I going mad? Please help me!

I’m not implying that there is anything wrong with red trousers of course – but it seems to be some sort of status symbol that I am blisfully unaware of.

My only guess so far is that red is a regal colour. The definition of regal being;

Characteristic of or suitable for a king or queen, especially in grandeur or magnificence.

So, maybe my theory is correct and it is a status symbol – a status of ‘magnificence’ or wealth. This then leads to another question – is this not a little arrogant?

I am not a big fan of anyone who advertises their wealth, as to me wealth does not make anyone a better person – especially if said person was born into wealth and has never known what it’s like to struggle financially.

Any thoughts? I’m intrigued to hear them……….
