What exactly is a "power tie"?

[naturalmwa]

The gays are supposed to have extra-special insight into men's fashion. It's your super power.

That’s just one of our normal powers. Our super power is controlling weather disasters. But the solid red tie is the traditional power tie. It needs to be paired with a dark suit and white shirt. Trump has the correct uniform, he just appears too cheap to hire a stylist. He probably can’t get a gay to work for him.

I’m convinced the gays dressed Hillary funny as payback for don’t ask don’t tell too.

To pull off the power tie thing you need to be comfortable wearing it. Are you?

If not then go with loafers and a golf shirt. Trust me on this that is much more of a power statement. Make sure you tell him you have a few things to discuss but can't miss your tee time.

I always wear a tie when visiting locations, but I didn't know if I had a power tie in my closet or not.

It looks something like this.

It also helps if your not too attractive. If you’re handsome and wear the power uniform, you will be too intimidating.

Do you own a red tie? Burgundy doesn’t count.

Yes, but it has a tiny blue dots pattern.

 

[SoProudNole]

It doesn't matter what OP is trying to achieve. He's going to look ridiculous.

 

[naturalmwa]

It’s compromised. So not as dominant as solid red.

And don't even think about bring up Trump.....

JFC, it took two-and-a-half hours to get a straight answer on this.

You could have googled it in that time.

The point is that he is simply something you are taking care of on your way to something more important. Like golfing.

Wear the tie. Adopt the attitude. If power is what you are going for.

 

[IamHawkeye]

Seriously.

Is there a particular color?

Solids or stripes?

Polka dots or patterns?

Blends with shirt color or opposite shirt color?

WHERE THE HELL ARE THE HROT GAYS WHEN WE NEED THEM?

What does Wiki say?

Get you a BOLO.

No, can't do the Trump look for this visit.

Don’t wear a jacket one size too big, don’t have the tie hang halfway down your crotch, and don’t look like an orange raccoon, and you will not bear any resemblance to Trump.

 

[blackbones]

About as powerful as it gets..

 

[BelemNole]

JFC, if there was ever a thread for "if you have to ask", this is it.

 

[Run&Blade]

Is the meeting over yet?

 

[SalAunese]

Do you have any hermes ties? Maybe an Armani?

He can borrow my Hermès tie. I’m not a fan

 

[lucas80]

Well, considering Trad was up until after midnight trying to get help on his tie, and has already posted this morning I can only assume he made all of this up, or he got dominated by the Regional VP of Sales.

 

[SalAunese]

Go with a nice fall plaid tie and plain white herringbone dress shirt.

 

[SalAunese]

What did you need from me? Trump has the power tie color right, he just wears them at a ridiculous length that makes more of a clownish impression.

For awhile, the super long tie was the trend.

If you’re trying to project power, I’d recommend classic over trendy.

It was a board room trend to wear the XL necktie. Still is somewhat. Yea, I’m a big fan of the classic styles. Go to Gieves & Hawkes and you’ll find great examples of classical Savile Row styles

 

[UKGrad93]

I thought everyone knew that power ties are red. Some can have a subtle print or stripe. Red signals that you are bold and aggressive.

No update from Trad??? He must be tied up.

He's probably still blowing the guy who knows what kind of tie to wear to a meeting.

 

[Brok85]

Would suggest combining 2 powerful colors. Like black and gold.

 

[The Tradition]

Everything went great. The guy was butter in my hands. It's all good.

 

[lucas80]

Everything went great. The guy was a gentleman and blew in my hands. It's all good.

Fixed for accuracy.
