1) Reds are a power color, symbolizing wealth, strength, and passion. Many cultures also find special meaning in the color red, such as good luck.
If you are going into a meeting where you need to lead your business team to a hard-won victory, Red is an excellent choice for a tie color. Try a solid colored, ruby red silk tie for the ultimate power effect.
Oranges also fall into the same category, though they are an even bolder style choice.
2) Blue is a calming, soothing color which radiates peace and tranquility. If you are going into a hostile meeting with tense parties, then Blue is an excellent color choice.
But just because blue is peaceful, does not mean it is a weak color, it is persistent and everlasting, like waves upon the shore.
Try mixing blue with red or yellow to add a power dynamic to the tie color scheme.
3) yellow is a complex color. In the English language it has connotations of cowardice, indicated by terms like "yellow-bellied coward".
But yellow is also the color of the sun, representing its radiance and vitality. If you are going to wear a Yellow Tie, make sure you have the personality to carry it off by being outgoing and forthright.
Yellow also mixes very well with blues and creates a striking effect in patterns and Stripes.
4) The Black Tie is closely associated with very formal events. In fact, very fancy gatherings or parties are often known as "black tie" events. You should truly save your black ties for these special events.
But black can be used very effectively as a color in Patterned Ties, especially when combined with white. Don't discount black as a tie color, just save the solids for special occasions.
5) As any businessman knows, the color of money is green! What better way to attract money to you than by wearing a Green Tie?
The color green is also seen as a symbol of rebirth and growth, and is a good way to project yourself as a team player who is growing in knowledge and skills.
Be careful to avoid the negative connotations of green as a tie color however; you wouldn't want people to see you as "green with jealousy". Save that kind of energy for improving yourself instead.
6) A brown tie projects the image of a very down-to-earth, practical man. This is a color that says "I can get the job done". It may be a bit boring, and without excitement, but it is a solid and reliable color. What employer wouldn't want a reliable employee?
You can spice up a Brown Tie with more powerful colors like red, which makes an excellent contrast to the earthy color.

Color for the Weekdays
Monday – Tuesday – Wednesday – Thursday - Friday - Saturday – Sunday
Monday: Lord Shiva rules on Mondays. White is the colour for Mondays and therefore wearing white dresses and keeping white flowers at home are recommended on Mondays. It is a good day for men seeking favours from women and for making new friends. Taking honey and cucumber on Mondays is likely to yield good results.
Tuesday: Red being the most suitable colour for Tuesdays, wearing red clothes and keeping red flowers at home on the day may prove to be good. Men shall be courageous on the day and Tuesdays are the most suitable days to settle long-standing issues with the police and army. Administrative and hard laborious work should be undertaken on Tuesdays.
Wednesday: Ruled by Mercury, the day is most suitable for activities involving cerebral faculties, banking, finance, crop and grain trading and the acquisition of wealth. Wednesday is ideal for romance. All activities requiring cerebral input and intellectual faculties are recommended on Wednesdays. (…) The day is ideal for planting trees, as green is the colour of the day. Keeping green plants at home, wearing green clothes and eating beans and gota mungdal on Wednesday would ensure good effects.
Thursday: Though travelling is virtually a taboo on Thursdays, efforts to retrieve lost wealth and articles are expected to succeed if undertaken on Thursdays. Thursday is an excellent day to join any educational institute or to begin any academic pursuits; such activities should, however, be undertaken in the first half of the day. (…) Wearing yellow or off-white clothes, keeping yellow or off-white flowers at home and eating arhar dal, papaya and rice with ghee on Thursdays may bring in good results.
Friday: Shukra (Venus) and Bhubaneshwari Devi rule Friday and promise success, especially to women. Happiness permeates the day. Friendship blossoms and effortless gains are natural events of the day. Most suitable for the purchase of new vehicles, Friday is also a good day for medical treatments of serious illness, as the healing energies are most active on the day. It is a day for purchasing jewellery, precious stones, ornaments and new houses. (…) Very light blue or white are the colours of the day.
Saturday: If you are besieged by nagging interminable legal problems, launch an all out effort to resolve the problem on Saturdays. Any work initiated in the first half on Saturday carries a high possibility of success. anyone leading a pious lifestyle on the day, bereft of luxuries, eating sesame seed paste and grilled black brinjal, keeping purple flowers at home and wearing black clothes, is likely to receive success and blessings of Shani or Saturn.
Sunday: An excellent day to undertake journeys, Sunday is also an extremely conducive day on which to resolve old disputes. Sunday, being a day for celebration, is the most suitable day to feed and entertain friends and family. (…) If one wears pink or maroon clothes on Sundays one can make friends easily and will enhance one’s personality. It is the day which is most suitable to initiate discussions and negotiations about new projects with government officials.

General Rules for Men's Shoes
Footwear is one of the important part of Men's Wardrobe
Followings are some general rules of Shoes
* Try to pick a shoe that matches, or is darker than your pants.
* Although it is a safe bet, socks do not need to match your shoes. Instead, think of your socks as you would a tie - an item that can bring bring the whole outfit together.
* If wearing a belt, try to match your shoes to it, unless of course, your belt is some multi-colored striped thing.
Men's Shoes for Jeans
You can wear almost any color or style of shoe with jeans, but avoid very shiny shoes that were obviously intended for more dressier outfits.
Boots, lug soles, sneakers, loafers and sandals all work great with jeans, so you may find it helpful to let the style of your shirt guide you.
For example, a sporty, polo shirt might work with a loafer; t-shirts go well with sneakers or retro-style shoes; long, artsy button-downs work well with sandals or contemporary styles.
Men's Shoes for Casual Pants
Whether you call them Dockers, chinos, or khakis, there are a variety of loafers, oxford and other men's shoes that work well with casual pants.
With dress pants, shoot for the same type of shoe that you might wear with a suit. Shinier materials usually indicate a dressier shoe, as do less bulky heels and soles. Choose a shoe that is the same color or darker than your pants, and if wearing a belt, match your shoes to it.
Color Matching for Men's Shoes
* Black shoes work well with navy, grey or black pants.
* Brown shoes are best suited to tan, brown, beige, greens, other darker earth tones.
* Burgundy shoes work well with khaki, lighter browns, blue and grey.
* Tan shoes look great with lighter earth tones, blue, beige, lighter tan or white.
