Choosing the right tie color will help you make yourself known, the correspondent says.

When Joshua Blue, the deputy headmaster of the Kennedy School in Hong Kong, holds a general meeting of students, he knits a tie in pastel lavender. This color - “vibrant and muted at the same time,” says Blue, allows him, he thinks, to keep the students from getting bored while they listen to him. On the other hand, he avoids bright shades of magenta and pink when he goes out to students.

“Avoid too many bright colors to keep kids from being distracted,” says 35-year-old Joshua.

This may sound like a magician's trick, but experts say that regardless of the audience you are reaching out to - be it customers, employees, or even children - choosing the right tie color will help you communicate exactly what you want to them.

“Colors send very specific signals,” says David Zaila, New York-based author of Color Your Style. “The same suit looks different with different colored ties, each of which has its own impact on others and has special meaning. "

Wondering what color tie to tie for your next meeting? Then here are some tips for choosing the perfect color for every occasion.

Almighty red

It is no coincidence that many politicians wear red ties with light shirts and dark suits.

"The red tie is a symbol of power," says Mark Woodman, an American clothing trend analyst. "There is something about red that refers to the concepts of strength and passion."

The shade of red also matters. Darker shades such as wine red (aka burgundy) help build trust. Ties in light shades of red and pink are more likely to be perceived as a declaration of their own style and are associated with the wearer's creative inclinations. Nowadays, a pink tie can signal "solidarity with women," Woodman adds.

When you take the lead on a project or want to assert your ambition, think bright red. A matte red (or patterned) tie will signal your strength in a more elegant way.

Royal purple

Ross Znavor, who is a financial services executive in New York City, prefers to wear purple over red to business meetings. Purple, he believes, shows self-confidence and helps to create a lasting first impression of the interlocutor.

A tie of not quite the usual color shows clients that their interlocutor "is confident in himself and that he is the very person with whom you can build a relationship," Znavor explains.

The color magenta, says Yves Roth Lindsay of Hong Kong, a consultant on the use of flowers and creating his own unique image, has traditionally been a sign of royal dignity and wealth. It is becoming more and more acceptable in the workplace.

"Men wear light purple shirts and darker purple ties," says Lindsay. Choose one of these shades if you want to stand out from the crowd with a slightly more catchy appearance, which, at the same time, will not repel you.

Intrigue of black

Even if you don't wear them regularly to business meetings, choosing a black tie for a cocktail or dinner party will highlight your sophisticated taste, says Zaila.

However, keep in mind that the official black color can be provocative and excessive in many situations. “Avoid it if being your boyfriend at work is a prerequisite for moving up the corporate ladder,” warns Zaila.

There is often a smarter choice of shades of gray, Woodman adds. A gray tie will give you a more sophisticated look without unnecessary pretentiousness, Woodman recommends.

“Gray is quite energetic and can look very modern,” he says. To “charge” a gray tie, complement it with a light pastel shirt. Opt for light shades of gray and glossy fabrics to give your look an authentic shine.

Garden shades

Green can have different meanings - from the symbol of rebirth to the color of money in some countries. However, surprisingly, it can be too flashy for everyday wear at work.

“How do you want to be remembered - the color of the tie or your own personality?” Asks Woodman. Choosing the right shade of green is not an easy task. The bright green is very distracting and difficult to match with suits and shirts. However, a light green tie with a subtle pattern can go well with a neutral-colored shirt.

Yellow is a traditional color for ties in some countries, including England. It conveys confidence, cordiality and cheerfulness, says Woodman.

Yellow ties will make you more approachable to your colleagues as this color symbolizes the sun. For many, wearing a yellow tie is "an opportunity to demonstrate optimism and a positive outlook on life," adds Yves Roth Lindsey.

Beware, however, cultural oversight in color choices. For example, in India, a yellow tie can indicate that the wearer is in business, Zaila says. A white tie in China means mourning.

Fifty shades ... blue

Afraid to convey the wrong message with the color of your tie? Then consider choosing blue as a color suitable for all occasions.

Blue ties are a good investment because their color reminds people of the sky and ocean, which have a calming effect, Lindsay says.

"Blue is the most reliable color," she says.

Patterned blue ties are a classic sign of professional belonging. They can be worn anywhere in the business environment without risking sending the wrong message to others. A soft blue will help you look “soft and thoughtful,” while cobalt or royal blue will make you stand out in just measure, she says. "The dark shades of blue are reminiscent of highly respected pilot uniforms. Navy blue is a color that inspires confidence and gives us confidence," says Lindsay. (Termnavyblue or "naval blue" means a very dark blue that was adopted by the British Royal Navy in the middleXVIII century. Originally the color of the uniform of British sailors was calledmarinebluewhich simply means "marine". - Ed.)

Merge with nature

"A looser wardrobe in friendly colors such as beige, earthy brown (salmon and yellow) is best suited for those who have to deal with people on a daily basis, whether they are retail, service workers or teachers," explains Lindsay.

Make sure that your brown tie doesn't look too simple, as it can indicate a boring personality.

A beige tie might sound too loose, she says. Avoid wearing earthy colored ties with matching shirts. And if you want to get promoted or stand out in the workplace, ditch these colors altogether.

Tie - from the German word "Halstuch" - a scarf around the neck, or simply simply - a strip of fabric tied around the neck. Many years ago, with the increase in the popularity of the tie, this accessory began to be given such serious importance that some gentlemen consulted with astrologers what color a tie to wear so that today it would bring good luck or victory in whatever business.

Is it appropriate to wear orange or other bolder colors as part of your business attire? One way is with an orange tie. Sometimes, however, it can be refreshing to have a little contrast and color in your outfit. Orange goes well with different shades of blue.

For casual occasions, it is appropriate to go for, for example, burgundy trousers or a green check sport coat. In small quantities, so it is not the dominant part of your outfit.

If you're looking for an orange tie, look at the material and the shade of orange it is made from. In terms of materials, avoid these shiny, smooth silk options. Instead, go for tussah grenadine or raw silk. Or cashmere for winter and flax for summer. And choose a burnt orange shade.

Modern men know that for any event there should be many different ties and that when choosing a tie, you need to focus on its color.

Our article tells you what kind of tie you need to choose for work or a date, and in general what the color of the tie that your loved one wore today.

When going to work, it is better to give up bright ties and cheerful colors. A tie in dark colors with a small pattern that does not attract much attention is appropriate here, but still most depends on what kind of profession you have and what kind of work you are. You should not experiment putting on a tie with a variegated flower or green polka dots under a plaid suit. It is also obvious that a dark tie will look good under a light shirt.

Yellow and green ties

Avoid bright and vibrant colors. From a costume standpoint, my recommendation again is to go for something pretty simple and subdued. Shades of brown and blue go well with orange. Also medium to dark shades of gray. If you want to try something more daring and summery, take a light blue linen suit and pair it with a white shirt, orange ribbon tie, and dark brown suede loafers.



When choosing colors to combine, there are several different ways to do it. If you haven't read my post yet, take a look. One way, however, is to combine the colors on opposite sides of the color wheel. Blue and orange, as done here, for example, are a good and compatible blend. By combining these tug colors, you can match the warmth and coolness of your outfit.

But the choice of a tie is one thing, but knowing what color means, and even learning more about the owner of a fashion accessory, is the pinnacle of understanding a fashion accessory.

The meaning of the white tie - it is mostly not a simple person who chooses, most likely, selfish or narcissistic. A man often pretends to be inaccessible, too good, clean, tidy. Its quality is pedantry in everything, but not always. It is worth paying attention to the white tie, this is a signal that the man is fixated only on himself. However, at the same time, do not forget that white is the color of innocence and purity.

And, of course, an orange tie is not the same as a bright yellow shirt or purple pants.



The color of the suit can be called silver-blue. It's a little lighter in shade than the classic navy blue, making it the perfect summer suit. The color also balances the tie orange burn. A white shirt with blue or blue stripes is always a reliable choice for business wear. You can bring a bit of variation to your outfit with a shirt like this, but it will in no way grace the attention.

The meaning of the orange tie - very active men choose. They are mobile, energetic and not devoid of a sense of humor. They are open-minded and love to laugh. Orange is a great companion for pleasant conversations. Such men are good workers, because in these people it is as if a stream of new and creative ideas is raging. The men, in orange ties, hope that this color will support them with its seething energy. The owners of orange ties are full of enthusiasm, always ready to defend their point of view, to prove that they are doing the right thing.

Subtle and discreet when you look at the distance, which can still be distinguished when you look closer. The pocket square selected here is made from 70% wool and 30% fabric. Basically, the perfect combination is my opinion. Wool is there for a substantial feel and excellent draw, while silk gives a sleek look and light sheen. It's kind of a mixture that makes the square hold in place throughout the day, but it still doesn't make it too lumpy or bulky in your pocket.

For example, an orange tie is a slightly more casual choice for the workday than, for example, a burgundy grenadine tie, in the same way that twin monks are business-friendly but more casual shoe choices. Especially when it comes to ties and pocket squares, this seems to be a recurring topic that many of you want to read about.

The meaning of the red tie - men choose who are filled with energy, enthusiasm and desire for power, which characterizes his strong qualities: purposefulness, assertiveness, stubbornness. Such men love order in everything. Business acumen of a man “all the best for me, and I'm smarter than everyone else” is about him. However, red can also indicate a desire for ruthless power, stubbornness. Usually red ties are loved by people who are always ready to help, support someone. If you are the owner of a red tie, it can mean that you are a born leader, wanting to express your passion or passion for your business or hobby. Usually those men who love action and hate to admit their mistakes are wearing red ties. Red color also indicates high sexuality. Wearers of bright red ties are often overwhelmed with emotions that get in the way of business. But those who choose the darkest of all shades of red usually have a complex character, love order in everything and do not tolerate objections.

Choosing your men's accessories

So here's a guide to combining tie and pocket square and looks like a boss. Pairing your accessories is not a separate thing to put your entire outfit together, and in the end, everything needs to be similar to the same themes for your look to be consistent. There are obvious mistakes you can make, including the famous match-up where the pocket square and tie are at worst made from the same fabric. Smaller problems can be caused simply by combining some colors that don't really fit together, such as vibrant blues and greens.

The value of a burgundy tie - are preferred by delicate serious people. But if in work the owner of a burgundy tie is demanding, then in love, on the contrary, he will be an unfaithful man. Ardent love is not for him, but rather a stormy and very beautiful romance that real ladies' men can play, even if he is over sixty. The burgundy color is preferred by kind people. The owner of a burgundy tie is outwardly restrained, passionate, hot love is for him, and do not forget that, in fact, burgundy is the same red only darker, which means that the owner of a burgundy tie is very sexy. Moreover, wearing a tie the color of a good red wine indicates that its owner wants to declare his sexuality, openly demonstrate it. Of course, he could have done it by other means, but only his innate delicacy stops him.

Many sources, including myself in many cases, will tell you that mistakes can be avoided by using a simple white canvas. Now, while true, it really won't help you if you want to use more colors sometimes. In this article, we'll go over the basics of combining colors, so read on.

First, you need to choose a tie that suits your outfit. If you're wearing a formal gray or navy suit with a little texture, good ties include a dark-colored grenadine checkmark that's not black. You could, for example, go for a burgundy garza finna grenadine tie. On the other hand, you can opt for a floral print tie that combines multiple colors and has a dark base color. If you're opting for a tie for a casual outfit like a navy track coat and a pair of khaki pants, a more casual option with more texture is often a better choice than a sleek silk tie.

The meaning of a green tie is that a calm, benevolent person is always ready to rush to help, give the right advice, or praise for a good job. Loves peace and quiet. Nature, and a weekend at one with your soul mate, the best vacation for him. The owner of a green tie knows how to quickly create an inviting atmosphere around him, he is open to communication. He is full of harmony, confident in himself, but at the same time he is very demanding of himself. Men who prefer green ties are usually very conservative and respectful of traditions. They are not aggressive, friendly, value friends and partners. Most often, nature and animals are very much appreciated and protected.

This means you opt for a textured wool tie in the winter, or perhaps underwear or cotton tie in the warmer seasons. Again, you need to understand the level of formality of your chosen outfit and then choose your tie accordingly.

Why does tie color matter?

Having all of your pieces of equipment at roughly the same level of formality is the first step to a consistent and stylish look. However, there is still a little more to think about before you start thinking about your accessories. A model suit, jacket, or even pants often requires a simplified selection of accessories. Not only does a patterned suit require a solid white or light blue shirt, it usually forces you to choose subtler accessories that create a soothing effect on the entire look.

The meaning of a blue tie is generally a successful, energetic and highly intelligent man. In people he values \u200b\u200bhonesty, straightforwardness and decency. The preference for blue color can speak of inner calmness, silence and - sometimes - loneliness. Often, office workers make good bosses or directors. Lovers of blue ties are alien to aggression, they value honesty and justice in people, adore children. The recognition of others is important for them, they love to travel. Most often, the owners of blue ties are artistic people, calculation and planning are given to them with work, but not always.

How to choose a pocket square?

So, if your larger components have a lot in common, it's generally a good idea to wear a solid color tie. Once you've chosen your tie, it's time to think about which pocket square will look good with your outfit. In my opinion, your pocket square should add elegance to a complete package without stealing the show. A well-fitting pocket square complements key parts of your outfit or simply provides a fresh look. A somewhat casually folded white square with white linen is excellent at giving your dark suit a little something without drawing any attention to itself.

The meaning of the brown tie - a serious, responsible, reliable man. A competent worker and a loyal friend. His qualities: honesty, seriousness, self-confidence. Men wear brown ties who work hard, take care of their family and friends. These are practical people, they do not like to throw words into the wind. If you have a man in a brown tie in front of you - know: this person is self-confident, it is not easy to convince him of something, especially if you cannot back up your words with facts. He knows how to achieve goals quickly and easily.

Color coordination between your accessories

Don't use a basic white cotton or linen pocket square when you're wearing a blue shirt. Now that's the big thing, the meat of this text. The key word here is actually harmony. If you're brave enough to step outside the safe, one-color linen pocket square world, things tend to get a little more complicated. As before, you need to see that the materials of your tie and pocket square not only look good together, but also in the context of your larger components and even season and day weather.

The meaning of the black tie - are chosen by influential, and very conservative men, with the exception of soldiers, pupils and students who are forced to wear a black tie. The owner of a black tie rarely shows emotions in public, his smile is rare. Amplua is authority and seriousness. It is also the color of closeness and shielding oneself from the surrounding society. In our society, black usually speaks of something sad - pain, death. Sometimes men choose black ties in order to express their protest to society. The wearer of a black tie doesn't want to draw attention to himself. Often, black ties are worn by respected and conservative people, as well as politicians who want to demonstrate their authority and power, and clergy. Traditionally, black is considered the color of secrets, but a black tie also speaks of an addiction to sex and eroticism.

Avoid using bright silk pocket squares and instead opt for a high quality wool or matte silk square that is appropriate for the year. If you're wearing a solid purple tie, choose a pocket square with a base color that complements your suit or jacket and contains small splashes of purple. Think of a gold and beige wool pocket with some pattern in purple to match the shade of your tie. On the other hand, if you are wearing an orange tie with a blue floral print, perhaps look at a pocket square with a neutral base color and a few oranges.

The meaning of a turquoise tie- ties of turquoise color are very elegant; they are preferred by people who are cheerful, optimistic, easy-going, amusement lovers. Men are very sociable, have many friends, they do not mind having an affair with a pretty secretary, they love to give and receive gifts. The turquoise color of the tie is so attractive that others can knock off their feet, just to help the owner of the turquoise tie with something. At the same time, the owners of turquoise ties usually think soberly and do not give in to feelings. A man in a turquoise tie looks younger and makes a good impression on others.

If you are wearing a patterned suit and patterned tie, choose a contrasting border to complement your tie. A good colorful and patterned pocket tends to have a base color and two to three secondary colors. Perhaps the best rule of thumb for an elegant combination of ties and pocket squares is to choose a pocket square with a secondary color or two that match the base color of your tie. Other colors should not clash, otherwise harmony will be lost. have a coordinated palette that doesn't look too forceful.

Tie as a symbol of slavery. Someone sits in an office for 10 hours and does not even have the right to a smoke break, boasts of their fictitious status, social package and their pseudo-significance, proudly calling themselves "Office worker" or, in the common people, office plankton. All this is not in order to annoy someone, but in order for you to think about the true state of affairs and not think “I live much better than a robotic mason”, but in reality, everything is exactly the opposite. It's just that the system is built in such a way that intellectually developed people are often slaves to their own intellectual baggage. The system has already enslaved everyone who is capable of thinking. She just did not get to the hard worker-mason yet. Is a tie the remnants of primitive slavery? Women adorn themselves with stones and tons of colorful makeup, and men wear a tie - in fact, a leash and even with a tightening knot if pulled. Do you realize that the tie is a modern symbol of slavery? One of the versions of the origin of the tie is from the ancient Egyptian "galshtuk". The slaves were put on a collar with a piece of chain around their necks, which could not be removed on their own. This eliminated the need to chain the slave (which would interfere with his physical work). After all, if a slave runs away with a tie, then everyone will see that he is a slave, not a free one. It was only in late Egypt, ancient Rome and China that the necktie turned into a piece of cloth of regular geometric shape, thrown over the shoulders. According to the second version, it is believed that the Jews have a tie as the highest sign of spiritual power. Then from the Jews only one person walked with such a collar, loop, kagan. And do you know how it was done? The one who was supposed to be a kagan, this was a specially prepared person, he strangled him with a stranglehold, put him into a state of clinical death and then, after a while, let go of the noose, the person returned to life. The exit from the body and the entrance of the essence, and he said that when I went out there, I saw what needed to be done, I would rule there for 10 years or 7 years, etc. And after that he walked around his country with this noose and it was a symbol of supreme power. When the term, which he saw himself, ended, the same person would press him. And then the next one. This is the past of the tie. Today's ties are of the same nature. This is parroting, because only the Jews wore it. Someone saw, yeah, I also want to be important, and also put it on myself. And you put on a tie, without realizing it yourself, subconsciously for whom you work? "... Moreover, in the Swedish, Scottish and all American systems, a freemason candidate is introduced with a rope around his neck. Then he is obliged to appear all his life only in a TIE - a symbol of the same eternal noose around his neck, which will immediately tighten if the Mason dares to have his own judgment. All the goyim have already been accustomed to wearing this noose around their necks. As well as being accustomed to another Masonic garment - to a round hat, symbolizing, in the words of the Gedike Masonic dictionary, "freedom before the law." So gradually, imperceptibly, Masonic attributes are introduced into our everyday life. "And when already knowing this, it is already ridiculous to look at these people who, by knowledge or not knowledge, give themselves away and you already understand who they really are. a tie more often than others have bank accounts, more actively use loans, enriching the "owners of money" and giving them power over themselves.A modern slave, as in Ancient Egypt, does not need to be chained - he is quite well controlled by the methods of artificially creating the necessary desires and other methods manipulation, working bypassing consciousness.A modern slave in a tie usually works from morning to night, while he only has enough money for food, housing and monthly payments.Unstable, meager balance of funds allows you to buy all kinds of nonsense, sometimes smoke / alcohol, which aggravates state of slavery and additionally finances slave owners. Especially "successful" slaves pay for expensive useless (or even frankly about harmful) things and services. Some clever slaves themselves hire other slaves and over time buy expensive housing and cars, while maintaining and aggravating their slavery position of dependence and further enriching the "owners of money". The modern slave in a tie does not even realize that he is voluntarily chaining himself, desiring what is imposed on him and beneficial to the slave owners. Of course, not the form is more important, but the essence, but a significant part of the slaves still voluntarily hang the symbols of slavery on themselves. In Rome, slaves were required to walk with a piece of rope around their necks. The noose around his neck showed that the owner could strangle him with one movement. Then they began to paint it. The result is a tie - a symbol of slavery. Virtually every state. the organization wears these straps and without them access to some places is simply closed. A tie is a symbol of slavery, power, alienation. Many people have to wear it, and some even like it and they are proud of it, buying different strings for thousands of dollars. Many feel in him a kind of psychological protection and confidence without realizing it (protection from the authorities) and unity with a blind society. A man with a tie radiates energy not emancipation, not emotionality, severity, authority, in a word, NOT freedom. The only benefit of a tie is that you can come home and take it off and get the feeling that we are free from something, without knowing from what.

Psychologists, after conducting a series of tests, have found a way to classify men according to "tie" preferences.

So, we have created for you "Explanatory Dictionary of Ties":

Color gamut values:

Blue - indicates firm principles and authority.

Yellow, orange - merry people, optimists. Easy to relate to life.

Soft reddish-brown tones - speak of openness and disposition.

Pink is a sign of high emotionality.

Light green - distinguishes men who value themselves highly and place high demands on others.

Light colors - prefer people who are cheerful, optimistic, easy-going, lovers of entertainment and romance. They are not averse to having an affair with a pretty secretary, they will never refuse to sit with friends over a glass of beer, they love to give and receive gifts.

Gray and black - plain ties are most often chosen by "colorless" or "protocol" men. They love order in everything, follow the established rules, are wary of any innovations. They strive to be "correct" in everything, which they often simply enrage their chosen ones. However, in relations with women, such men are also most often "correct" and consistent.

Blue - indicates reliability and sociability, openness and goodwill.

Dark green and olive - chosen by men for whom the most important thing in life is family.

Dark red - preferred by confident men.

Bright red - betrays an ambitious and energetic man, striving for power.

Pattern and texture values:

Polka dots are elegant, authoritative and formal for business situations. The smaller and lighter the peas, the darker the color of the tie, the more authoritative it is. This pattern, along with the solid color, is widely used with the most conservative suits. "Peas" are usually chosen by ambitious and purposeful people. It is interesting that the size of the "pea" is in direct proportion to the level of a person's sociability: the larger, the more sociable the owner of the tie.

Variegated polka dots, dots, specks, pretzels - the tireless man chooses. He is single-minded, ambitious and thriving professionally. True, he can work for a long time in one place only if he has found a job that he likes. In personal relationships, he behaves in a similar way: if he met the woman of his dreams, he will be faithful to her completely and infinitely.

Large scattered peas - are loved by sociable men who want to attract attention to themselves.

Small peas are chosen by conscientious workers, good professionals.

Frequent peas are most likely a closed and taciturn person.

Diagonal, vertical, horizontal stripes (classic) - creates a calm business look. Perfectly used in any setting. This is the attribute of a successful businessman. The strip is like an arrow indicating the path, which in no case can be turned off. Such people are usually reliable, loyal, caring, but too busy with their own affairs, devote little time to the family.

Wide striped - adored by solid, self-confident middle-aged men, pedants, lovers of order in everything.

With ornament. Small figures, a small cell or a discreet elegant pattern - this man is a reliable spouse and an even more reliable business partner, you can safely trust him. He is hospitable, has a subtle sense of humor and considerable imagination (although some of his "innocent" jokes and inventions may not be to everyone's taste). Under no circumstances does he lose control over himself, so hardly anyone has heard a rude word from him. However, this character trait can bring his wife to white heat: you can't get him anything, he is ready to laugh it off from any reproach.

Paisley pattern (pattern that resembles a drop-shaped pearl or "cucumber") - elegant, goes well with a classic suit and jeans. With a large drawing, a special fashionable image is created.

Foulard (drawing with regularly repeating symbols on the background of a plain fabric) - is more often used with a business suit.

Club ornament (a tie is distinguished by small figures or symbols repeating in a certain order, for example: a campaign logo, images of yachts, polo or golfers, etc.) - symbolizes belonging to any organization or club.

The cage is Eaton and Cambridge ties. Usually used in a relaxed, non-business setting, it goes well with flannel suits, sports jackets, cardigans. Sometimes they are part of the branded dress code of campaigns or educational institutions.

Geometry - includes all geometric patterns, creates a more avant-garde and informal image.

In a flower or an exquisite floral ornament - exclusively for romantic natures. Usually, such ties are chosen by people of creative professions, extraordinary personalities with whom it is interesting, but a little unreliable. They are too fond of hovering in the clouds and building castles in the air. This man is a real romantic, he is kind-hearted and guided by feelings rather than a cold mind. He knows how to quickly gain the trust of a woman, first of all, by taking her seriously. A man in this category often has a creative profession or a similar hobby. He strives for harmony, but often looks at the world through rose-colored glasses and tends to turn a blind eye to trouble. It is good if his companion stands firmly on real ground and is able, if necessary, to return her beloved to a sinful earth.

With catchy, flashy drawings with unexpected themes and designs, psychologists believe that their owners are intelligent, confident men with a fair sense of humor or unusual character traits.

Monochrome - chosen by people who love order in everything, follow the established rules. So, what gets sick of their "correctness" and eternal consistency. A light, solid tie in a bold color is likely just a sign of a lack of taste.

Tie type meanings:

Narrow leather ties and silk laces with an expensive clip are chosen by people of a creative mind and profession: artists, actors, designers, writers, organizers and organizers of exhibitions and all kinds of shows.

A tie lowered below the belt speaks of his dominant nature and firm character.

The tie is noticeably higher than the buckle - the wearer has a soft, pliable character. The looser the knot, the “wider”, more relaxed the man.

A tie tied tight - indicates a desire to keep your emotions under tight control.

Choose the color of the tie carefully, knowing all the tricks. We talked to experts and found out what this accessory in clothes can tell about its owner, and how to create the right impression of yourself.

It doesn't matter what situation you are in: communicating with colleagues, attending an important meeting or at a gala event - the right tie color will convey your true motives to the interlocutor. One and the same suit will look different with ties of different colors: each of them carries a certain message and has an impact on others. That is why politicians pay tens of thousands of dollars to image makers to match them with the “right” color.

Blue is the color of business. Soft blue will speak of your kind soul and thoughtfulness. Blue with pearlescent tints is an inner state of victory, zeal, the color of a working person. He also reminds of the ocean and the sky, relaxing the interlocutor. Moreover, blue is the most reliable color. Maybe that's why George Clooney chose a navy blue tie for his wedding in Venice?

Burgundy shades are preferred by politicians. Red is the color of power, but at the same time, aggression and tenacity. The darker shades of these colors help build trust.

Green reflects youth, tenacity, it is also the color of envy and, of course, the color of money. Arnold Schwarzenegger loves to experiment with tie colors.

Black creates intrigue. It emphasizes refined taste and speaks of the presence of style. However, it should be avoided when you need to be “your boyfriend” in a company or among colleagues - other colors are suitable here. With the choice of the color of the tie, you can make a big mistake. For example, if in many countries the color of mourning is black, in China in this case they wear a white tie. Leonardo DiCaprio chose a shade of silver, which is typical for a festive event.

As some experts note, the yellow color of the tie conveys cheerfulness and cordiality, instills optimism. Vladimir Volfovich always has bright colors of ties, and lately he generally uses a bow tie, notes style expert Ilya Miftakhov. This means that the inner mood is always seething, the character is restless, subject to emotional outbursts. Zhirinovsky always dresses in a contrasting manner - for example, red jackets. Even at work in the State Duma, when he uses calmer pastel colors, there will still be something bright in his image: a bright scarf in his jacket pocket, or bright elements in a tie, notes Ilya Miftakhov.

Ilya Miftakhov ESTEL PROFESSIONAL, leading stylist of the Russian Fashion Week in Moscow“Our politicians love dark and solid colors. For example, Vladimir Putin is more of a right-brain person, everything is clear with him, and, accordingly, his tie tones are usually monochromatic. Dmitry Medvedev is more left-brained - he often sits on social networks, uploads photos to Instagram. Accordingly, his ties and shirts are more frivolous: there are stripes and polka dots.

Creative people tend to purple tones, at the same time a purple tie creates the first impression: this person is confident in himself and you can do business with him. The color magenta is becoming more and more popular, stylists say. Choosing a shirt in lighter purples and darker purple ties can help you stand out from the crowd without being off-putting.

All other colors - beige, dark green, narrow non-classical form - are more for fashionistas, and not for business people. The main thing is not to turn into a comic character, stylists say. After all, the purpose of a tie is to make a person more elegant and austere, says Vlad Lisovets.

Vlad Lisovets stylist “First of all, you need to understand the purpose for which the tie is tied. If this is a serious meeting or negotiations, then you should not get carried away with color, but everything should be restrained, if you do not want to distract the interlocutor. Of course, if this event is evening and entertaining, then you can already experiment here. But what I would recommend is nothing comical. No bright colors: light green, green, polka dots. It looks undignified and the tie takes on a clown look. "

Stylists advise avoiding earth colors, especially with shirts of the same shade. At the same time, if you expect to get a raise or raise, you need to urgently throw brown ties out of your wardrobe.
