What The Colour Of Your Tie Means

Aside from simply matching your tie to your overall outfit, you need to put into consideration what the colour of the tie means and says about you. Ties come in many different colours, patterns, and materials, however many do not realize the impact they have not simply on the look but the wearer and how they are perceived simply by the tie they wear. Below you will find the most popular colours and what they mean, both to the wearer as well as anyone that they communicate with.

Black:

Everyone has heard “black tie event” and it is correct, the black tie is usually associated with formal events. A plain black tie should be worn for these events or funerals only unless it is patterned. There are great patterned black ties that are ideal for everyday wear to the office, such as a combination with red or white, which really brings out the colour.

Blue:
The colour itself is very peaceful and tranquil. This is why this coloured tie is ideal for pressured meetings or if you are expecting there to be uneasiness amongst the crowd. Keep in mind though, this does not make the tie or colour weak, it is most certainly everlasting and consistent. A great blue pattern tie would be combined with yellow or white which are power colours.

Red:
The colour of power, good luck, passion, wealth, and strength. This is the perfect tie if you are looking to stand out or lead your team to victory. It’s definitely a power tie and demands attention. You need to be prepared for the attention you will get and make sure you are ready to speak out and take control. There are different tones of red, and the brighter it is the stronger the effect, a ruby red is the ultimate power tie.

Yellow:
It’s a colour to be careful with, as in many languages it means to be cowardly. At the same time however, it represents vitality and radiance. The tie is a difficult one to wear and if you plan to wear it you have to have the personality to match it in order to avoid the negative effect of the colour. You must be forthright and outgoing and be prepared to take on any challenge. If you are not ready to take this risk, wear a patterned yellow tie with blue.

Green:
Money is green, enough said. As a businessman it is important to visualize and attract what you are looking for, and that’s money. The colour also has a meaning of re-growth and rebirth. If you are just starting out in a company or in the process of learning new techniques or processes, wear this tie to show you are ready for the challenge and learn. Like the yellow tie there are some negative responses to this colour, such as “green with envy” so make sure to steer clear of any ways of the tie representing that.

Brown:
The colour of the earth, brown brings a down to earth kind of feel and air to the wearer. It’s a serious tie that gives confidence and shows diligence. It’s not as flashy as the rest, but it shows reliable and serious, and all employers and potential customers seek that. To add some excitement get a brown tie with dots, red is a great choice, or another splash of colour. 

The tie makes the man and every man needs to know what they are looking for when shopping for ties. Have at least one of each colour in your closet, you never know when you will need a certain colour.
