Fashion Portfolio: How to Choose Ties for a Power Suit
In life we may not become famous, infamous, or blockbusters. We do; however, have the power to become something more than those labels. It is our savvy and confidence that allows us to rise above and experience living life with good taste. Our travels, life experiences, and dreams are snapshots on the runway of our lives. There is no better place than the now to make the best strides down that runway. This is your epic, your life, so choose the label you wear wisely.
Knowing what to wear and how to wear it is a powerful skill. Some readers are at an advanced level and have a personal style. Some will go on to experiment with clothes, trends, and brands. While others may be too intrepid to wear anything besides t-shirts and shorts. Once you conquer the clothing world and develop a lifelong interest in dressing right, you will feel more inspired to shop and enjoy your home, social, and business life.

What we wear is powerful and attitude matters. Remind yourself again: You deserve to live well and be well. Creating a closet of items right for you, along with excellent fitness, health, and life habits, is all an expression of how you respect yourself. Knowing what to wear and executing fashion looks can be a challenge. The guidelines, inspirations, and ideas in this article will spark your interest and get you wearing more than the same three items over-and-over. As the notable custom tailor Alan Flusser observed, “A necktie’s motif, or pattern, expresses the poetry, the sense of whimsy, the psychology of the individual wearer.”
Models. The images we see in ads, movies, and media can influence our goals and perceptions. Keep in mind the people in those professions spend a lot of time and have a lot of time to look their best. Or computer graphics best. Rather than focusing on images in media, focus on what is the right fit, look, and use of clothes for you. As I learned from fashion designer Oscar de la Renta, fashion is about what is trending in stores and style is more about your own personality. Take a moment to reflect upon good fashion sense, your life, needs, and goals. That will be the center of what gets you fashion fit. Structure your closet and drawers with options for your various activities, career, the climate you live in, and seasons.
The Wardrobe Essentials. It is key to make clothing selections with a long-term frame of mind. Quality construction and timeless pieces are sharp and financially smart choices. Know your measurements and proportions. Take a look in the mirror to see what cuts, colors, shapes, and lengths are best for you. There is a learning curve for going from being dressed by mom to dressing yourself, for your current physique, current life, and adventures. Calvin Klein, business mogul and designer, once explained to me at a fashion show that what people wear should be modern, clean, and make them look their best. Personal responsibility is at the heart of dressing well. Study magazines, people in the streets, in school, models, and actors in your age range. Also, seek out knowledgeable salespeople in stores and vintage shops.
Fashion Portfolio: How to Choose Ties for a Power Suit
Suits have a long tradition in male and female wardrobes dating back to the 1700s. The power suit came of age in the 1980s with sharper lines, blocks of color, and classic styling. A power suit is one that conveys leadership and authority in the work environment. Think Pierce Brosnan, Remington Steele.
The best of power suits is focused, thoroughly developed, smooth, and the look can be mastered within a few detailed steps. Context is key. Begin with personal style, body type, complexion, and then consider environment. The setting, office, or event must be understood to know if a power suit is most appropriate to be worn.
Taste is also key in creating a well focused and smooth power suit. A power suit goes from classic and conveying authority to ostentatious with the addition of a brash watch or off the rails with sporty sneakers.
The best ties for a power suit are the ones that bring together the look and provide focus. A skinny tie is best for fashionable events or parties, not in boardrooms. A wide tie is best for a power suit, finished off with a Windsor knot. Clean, measured, and tailored are the characteristics of the power suit. The right tie pulls together this wardrobe staple.
