Blue tie or red tie; Liberal or Labour, conservative or assertive. The colour of tie you choose- especially  if you’re a politician seems to say as much about you as what comes out of your mouth. Sowhat does being one of the so-called  “men in blue ties” mean? Colour experts say it conveys trust, calm, peace and dependability, and can be worn to establish trust and credibility. On the downside, it is also sometimes considered to be cold, predictable and you are right-conservative.

Conversely, the red tie brigade are attempting to project power, energy, strength and assertiveness, in a bid to be noticed and appear authoritative. Red may also be construed as threatening, aggressive, stressful and dangerous, however.

Even so, the classic power combo of dark jacket, white shirt and red tie remains the choice of ambitious business leaders and politicians the world over. This is the most powerful colour combination there is as it puts together high contrast with high-energy red, and immediately commands attention.

Furthermore, colour is the first thing that others notice and recall. But although we react to colour, understanding its use and meaning is not instinctive. Men of power do not necessarily know what to reach for in their closets. They are most likely advised

Additionally, colour can be learnt and it is an easy an effective way to convey a message to the world and to create an impression. Powerfulness might not always be the appropriate image even for the powerful. Politicians are great examples of this, when campaigning and out meeting and greeting you often see them wearing a blue shirt with a tie that has yellow in its print or design. This combination says “approachable, trustworthy and friendly.”

The rule of thumb of men is the tie must always feature one of the colours of the shirt in a harmonizing rather contrasting shade. Charcoal to dark grey and dark navy are universal colours that suit everyone and give good base to create your own  signature look with shirts and ties.
