My Style Monday #5

Hi! For this My Style Monday I'm going to be giving you a glimpse into how I wear my ties. It's important to have a variety of ties for different occasions. I have both wide ties, skinny ties, monotone ties, and patterned ties, but more than having them, you need to know when to wear them.

For a more casual look with a sweater or if the rest of the outfit is monotone, I like to wear a patterned tie. It gives the outfit an extra kick of design and spices it up a bit.

For a fancier and more simple look, or if the outfit already has patterned pieces, I wear a monotone tie.

Certain colors also bring out certain emotions in people. For example, red is romantic, but it is also a symbol for power. Coincidence? I think not.

Blue is a great color for a tie. When in doubt, wear a blue tie. Blue ties make the wearer seem peaceful and trustworthy.

Yellow ties make the wearer seem radiant and friendly, but be careful it can clash with some skin tones.

Green ties are a symbol of rebirth and growth, but the can also mean economical growth. Wear a green tie to a business deal.

Brown is a solid reliable color. It shows that you can be trusted to get the job done, but it can be a little boring. Spice up a red tie with hints of red.

I hope that this post has helped you with some of your tie pairing questions. As you see above patterned ties can be paired with patterned shirts, but be careful. A good rule is to pair small patterns with large ones.
