Are red ties acceptable for business attire?

Answer 1

Sure are, in fact, the brighter the better. Go crazy and wear one with patterns on it like ships or Mickey Mouse or Tigger or whatever suits your fancy. It brightens up a dull day for everyone. (Some guys wear the wild stuff and keep a more conservative tie in a drawer in case they have a client meeting.)

Answer 2

Yes. At the CPA firm I used to work for we were all issued blue suits, white shirts and red ties on the first day.

OK I am exaggerating a bit, but we really were given a book on acceptable business attire.

Answer 3

Without knowing more details, I would say yes but wear with caution. Depending on the shade of red and the pattern, the tie could be "loud" or otherwise visually overwelming. Some people also see red as a power color and will interpret it as agressive. But generally, there's nothing wrong with a red tie, especially if it looks good on you!

Answer 4

Yes. A dark suit with a red tie is considered a symbol of power in some circles. Thus it gives the wearer a slight competitive edge.

Answer 5

When entering a crowd of women, all wearing the little black dress except one stunning rebel in a red dress, who do you notice? The red dress! As long as it's paired with the right suit (black is sharp), a red tie shows confidence and a desire to stand above the rest. It's a notice me color (think red lipstick on a woman). Get noticed and move ahead!

Answer 6

Yes,red ties are power ties and they mean the wearer has confidence in himself.But,don't wear a red suit with a red tie to a business meeeting,lol.

If you watch newscasters, anything they wear is suitable (no pun intended) for business attire.
