Have you ever heard the expression “ power tie ”?
In the business world, this is a solid red tie . The color red is known as a color of power, associated with authority, strength and passion . Red is often worn to attract attention, make a statement, or talk business. Now that you know the meaning, here's how to wear that red tie with confidence .
Let's start with the most common. For CEOs and others in positions of power, red is a reaffirmation of assertiveness and authority . Even if you're not the boss, you can wear a red tie. (If the solid red tie is the standard for a power tie, you might also consider a patterned red tie). This shows
This shows diligence and focus, and your boss may take note, even if it's unconscious.
You now know that red evokes a feeling of confidence. In sales, when you have confidence in yourself and the products you are selling, you are more likely to close the sale. This trust can also rub off on the buyer.
In person, a red tie can attract attention without being too overbearing. And undivided attention is what you want on a sales call .
A red tie on a server or staff member is a great way to distinguish employees from other customers or guests. If a customer or guest has a question or need, a red tie will make your staff easily identifiable .
This color looks professional all year round, but doesn't blend in as much as a black tie. Solid red is the most common choice for red uniform ties.
Look for red ties 7-8cm wide to suit both men and women.
If you prefer bow ties, choose an easy-to-use, pre-tied red bow tie.
Much like uniform attire, red ties are a great way to add a pop of color to a choir without detracting from the performance itself .
The versatility of red allows it to be used at any time of the year, without the need to purchase additional ties for holidays or patriotic events. As with uniforms, look for pre-tied red bow ties or neckties in a width of 7-8cm which will suit the majority of your choir members.
Red is bold, but that doesn't mean you can't pair it with everyday, casual outfits . To do this, choose a tie that is thinner than the professional standard of 8.5-9 cm wide.
Any tie less than 7.5 cm will give a more casual touch, as will a tie in a more casual material like cotton. Or, tone things down with a red patterned tie, whether it's a cravat or a bow tie.
And there you have it, you now know the best time to wear your magnificent red tie.
