One of the many things I enjoyed as I watched Clay Aiken on Celebrity Apprentice was the fabulous ties that he wore.  Each week he would wear another beautiful tie as part of an amazing ensemble.

While thinking about ties, I found a few interesting facts from a site called DQT:

Tie Colors

1. Black indicates elegance and class.
2. Red signifies leadership, passion, strength, and power.
3. If you wear a blue you are probably a calm person.
4. Green ties indicate wealth, money, and growth.
5. A yellow tie symbolizes cowardice or radiance and vitality.
6. If you are boring, wear a brown tie!

Stripes

The stripes on British men’s ties basically run from top left to bottom right which is exactly the opposite of the stripes on American ties. Stripes are powerful and you have to give it a try to prove it.

Silk Ties

Silk is one of the most preferred materials in making ties. As a matter of fact, it takes around 110 silkworm cocoons just to produce a good quality silk tie.

SO…….the following pictures show some of the wonderful ties wore on the show.  Do you have a favorite?
