Purple Power Ties

Style with Purple Power Ties

Typically men think of a bright red tie as the ultimate attention-grabbing power tie. Then, a few years back, business Tycoon Donald Trump made the solid pink tie popular in business, replacing the bright red necktie from the #1 spot of "ultimate power ties". After bright red and pink it is now the bright purple tie that takes over the top spot. Below are some tips and tricks on how to best wear purple ties in business.

The Meaning of Purple
Purple is a color that sparks creativity in people. Psychologists have studied the effects of purple on people's emotions and found that it is a color that often times has a calming effect on people. In addition some consider purple to be a divine and spiritual color that is often times associated with Catholicism. How all this supports the purple tie as a power tie is not clear to us. Fact is that politicians, businessmen, and actors have been choosing bright purple ties over pink and red.

Matching the Purple Tie
The purple tie looks excellent with navy as well as any gray suit. The best dress shirt colors are plain white - this helps emphasize the purple color, sets a stronger contrast, and will draw more attention to the ensemble. Purple looks nice with both brown and black accessories - such as dress shoes and belts.
