What the colour of your tie says about you
領(lǐng)帶顏色暴露了你什么？
Wondering what colour tie to wear to your next meeting? Here’s how to choose the perfect tie colour for every occasion:
在想下一次開會(huì)要系什么顏色的領(lǐng)帶？下面的小貼士能幫你選出匹配每個(gè)場合的最佳領(lǐng)帶。
All powerful reds
萬能的紅色
It’s not a coincidence that many politicians wear red-coloured ties with light shirts and darker suits.
很多政治家都熱衷系紅色領(lǐng)帶，穿淺色襯衫和深色西裝，這并不是巧合。
“Red is the power tie, ” said Mark Woodman, a trend analyst who studies colour in Laurel, Maryland, in the US. “There’s something about red that always comes back to strength and passion.”
“紅色領(lǐng)帶象征權(quán)力，”美國馬里蘭州勞雷爾市（Laurel）研究色彩的潮流分析師馬克·伍德曼（Mark Woodman）說，“談及紅色，總繞不開力量和激情?！?/p>
But the tone of your reds matters, too. Darker reds, such as a burgundy, can help build trust, while lighter red and pink ties can be more of a statement about your personal style and be associated with creativity. In the last decade, a pink tie can sometimes signal “solidarity with women, ” added Woodman.
但紅色的色調(diào)也很重要。深紅色，比如酒紅，能幫你樹立威信，而淺紅和粉紅色領(lǐng)帶則更多彰顯的是你的個(gè)人風(fēng)格，與創(chuàng)造力掛鉤。近十年，粉色領(lǐng)帶有時(shí)也表示“團(tuán)結(jié)女性”，伍德曼補(bǔ)充道。
When you are taking the lead on a project or want to convey a sense of ambition, consider a bold shiny red. A matte or printed red tie can be a more subtle way to convey power.
如果你在帶一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，或想彰顯你的雄心，可以考慮一下大膽的鮮紅色。麻面或印花紅領(lǐng)帶能低調(diào)地展現(xiàn)權(quán)力。
Royal purples
貴族紫
Ross Znavor, an executive in financial services in New York, wears purple ties rather than red to business meetings because the colour shows a bit of self-confidence and helps him create lasting first impressions.
在紐約一家金融公司工作的高管羅斯·基納爾（Ross Znavor）參加商務(wù)會(huì)議時(shí)，系紫色而不是紅色的領(lǐng)帶，因?yàn)樗X得紫色能顯示自信，幫他留下持久的第一印象。
Wearing a tie in a hue that’s less traditional shows clients, he is “comfortable in my own skin and someone with whom you want to build a relationship”, he said.
見客戶時(shí)，系一條不那么常見顏色的領(lǐng)帶，說明這個(gè)人“大方自信，也讓你想和他建立聯(lián)系”，他說。
Lindsay said purple, traditionally a sign of royalty and wealth, is becoming more acceptable in the workplace.
琳賽（Linsay）說，傳統(tǒng)意義上，紫色是貴族和財(cái)富的象征，現(xiàn)如今越來越為辦公室所接受。
“Men are wearing shades of lighter purple shirts and darker purple ties, ” she said. Wear one of these shades if you want to stand out from the crowd with a slightly bolder look that’s not distracting.
“眼下男士開始穿淺紫襯衫，系深紫領(lǐng)帶，”她說。如果你想脫穎而出，用一點(diǎn)大膽色調(diào)搭配這些領(lǐng)帶也無妨。
Black affair
高貴冷艷的黑色
While you might not wear them to executive meetings on a regular basis, wearing black ties to a cocktail party or even an upscale dinner gives off a sophisticated vibe, said Zyla.
茲拉說，你可能平時(shí)不會(huì)系黑領(lǐng)帶去參加高管會(huì)議，但它絕對是雞尾酒會(huì)和高級晚宴的好伴侶，系上它，一種高大上的感覺油然而生。
But beware: the formal black colour can feel arrogant or overdressed in many situations. “Avoid it if being one of the ‘boys’ at work is necessary as you climb up the ladder, ” Zyla said.
但注意了：在很多場合，黑色會(huì)給人一種傲慢囂張或過度裝扮的感覺。茲拉說：“如果你還只是辦公室‘小弟’，那你在往上爬的過程中要小心避免這一點(diǎn)?！?/p>
It’s often smarter to stick to grey shades, added Woodman. A grey tie can help give you a more sophisticated look without seeming pretentious, said Woodman.
伍德曼補(bǔ)充說，灰色是更為明智的選擇?；疑I(lǐng)帶能讓你看上去老練卻不做作。
“Grey is kind of edgy and it can look very modern, ” he said. To pull it off, pair it with a lighter, pastel-coluored shirt. Look for lighter grey shades and shiny finish for a more polished look.
他說：“灰色看上去略顯精明又不失時(shí)尚感，”要想穿出范兒，一件淡色襯衫絕對少不了。如果想要看上去更加光彩熠熠，除了一條淺灰色領(lǐng)帶，亮色處理必不可少。
Shades of the garden
花園色
Green can signal several things, from rebirth to the colour of money in some countries. But, surprisingly, it can be too loud for the workplace.
綠色會(huì)傳遞一些訊息，從再生到一些國家的鈔票顏色。但，小心了，綠色在辦公室可是很扎眼的。
“Do you want to be remembered for the tie or who you are as an individual?, ” Woodman asked. Choosing the right green can be tough. A bright green is often too distracting, and it can also be difficult to find matching suits or shirts, he added. Still, a light green tie with a subtle print can pair well with a neutral-coloured shirt.
伍德曼問道：“你是想因?yàn)轭I(lǐng)帶而被人記住，還是想因?yàn)樽约罕旧矶蝗擞涀?？”他還表示，選個(gè)合適的綠色還真不容易。亮綠色通常太扎眼，想找個(gè)西服或者襯衫搭配也困難。但是，一條淺印花的淡綠領(lǐng)帶和一件素色襯衫堪稱是完美組合。
Yellow is a traditional tie colour in countries, including England, which can signal assuredness, along with radiance and vitality, he said.
他說，在很多國家，包括在英國，黃色是傳統(tǒng)的領(lǐng)帶色。它給人一種自信、活力的躍動(dòng)感。
Yellow ties can make you more approachable to colleagues because it’s a vibrant colour that’s symbolic of the sun. For many, wearing a yellow tie, “can show optimism and a positive outlook on life, ” added Eve Roth Lindsay, an image consultant in Hong Kong.
黃色會(huì)讓你在同事中更具親和力，因?yàn)樗砹嘶盍Γ翘柕南笳?。對很多人來說，系黃色領(lǐng)帶“顯示了對積極向上的生活觀”，香港的形象顧問伊芙·羅斯琳賽（Eve Roth Lindsay）補(bǔ)充道。
Be careful of committing cultural faux pas when it comes to colour. For example, a yellow tie in India can signal that someone is a merchant, said Zyla. Wearing a white tie in China signals a period of mourning.
茲拉說，在顏色選擇上，要注意避免文化失誤。比如，在印度，黃色領(lǐng)帶可以說明這個(gè)人是個(gè)商人。在中國，白領(lǐng)帶是悼念的時(shí)候系的。
Fifty shades of… blue
一半的……藍(lán)色
Afraid of sending the wrong message with your tie colour? Consider blue as the all-purpose tie hue.
擔(dān)心領(lǐng)帶顏色讓人誤解？考慮一下最保險(xiǎn)的藍(lán)色吧。
Blue ties are a good investment because the colour reminds people of the sky and ocean, which has a calming effect, said Lindsay.
琳賽說，藍(lán)色領(lǐng)帶值得購買，因?yàn)樗屓讼氲剿{(lán)天大海，有心平氣和之效。
“Blue is the safest colour to wear, ” she said.
“藍(lán)色是最保險(xiǎn)的顏色，”她說。
Patterned blue ties tend to give off a classic professional feel and can be worn in a global business environment without sending the wrong message. A subtle blue can be “soft and introspective” while a cobalt or royal blue can help you stand out just the right amount, she said. “Dark blues are often reminiscent of well-respected pilot uniforms. Navy blue is a trusted colour and gives us confidence, ” Lindsay said.
她說，印花藍(lán)領(lǐng)帶釋放一種經(jīng)典又不失專業(yè)的感覺，系上它出席國際商業(yè)會(huì)晤，也無須擔(dān)心傳遞錯(cuò)誤訊息。淺藍(lán)會(huì)給人一種“柔和內(nèi)斂”之感，而鈷藍(lán)色和寶藍(lán)色在助你成為焦點(diǎn)的同時(shí)，又不會(huì)給人過分張揚(yáng)的錯(cuò)覺。琳賽表示：“深藍(lán)常與讓人肅然起敬的飛行員制服掛鉤。藏青色可以放心使用，它能給人自信?！?/p>
Be one with nature
自然色
“A more relaxed wardrobe of friendlier colours such as tan, brown, earthy colours, salmon and yellow works for people dealing with other people such as sales, teachers and the service industry, ” said Lindsay.
琳賽說：“那些和銷售、老師、服務(wù)業(yè)人員打交道的人，可以選擇一些更為輕松的色調(diào)，比如棕褐色。棕色、大地色、橙紅色和黃色?！?/p>
Make sure the brown tie does not look too plain, because it can signal a dull personality. A beige tie can sometimes come across as too relaxed, she said. Avoid pairing earth tone hues with similarly coloured shirts. And if you are eager for a promotion and want to stand out in the workplace, skip these colours altogether.
她說，確保你的棕色領(lǐng)帶看上去不會(huì)太普通，不然這會(huì)讓人覺得你很無趣。米黃色領(lǐng)帶有時(shí)會(huì)讓人覺得過于隨意。系了大地色領(lǐng)帶就不要再穿顏色一樣的襯衫了，如果你很想升職，想在辦公室脫穎而出，那碰都別碰這些顏色了。
