President Obama’s Power Tie

Sandy Dumont, The Image Architect gives advice to President Obama

Now that's a presidential look on the left. White shirts are the most formal, so they are the most powerful; however, you need a power tie to match, and one that is also dynamic. The darker the color, the higher the authority, but the tie in the center photo isn't appropriate for a dark suit …

Barack Obama – Tie Lesson

President Obama watched by Sandy Dumont, The Image Architect

Dear Mr. President, A reminder that grey is a very passive color and needs to be made positive by the addition of a power tie in a bold color. The tie on the left is just plain wimpy. Pale colors come across as passive and powerless. A man's tie is the only place where he …

President Obama’s Ties

Sandy Dumont, The Image Architect watches President Obama

Dear Mr. President, Please don't wear any more pastel blue ties. I know former President Bush wore them all the time; and I assume it's because  he had John Molloy's "Dress for Success" book, which had a dark power suit teamed with a light blue tie on the cover. Mr. Molloy did lots of research …

President Obama, grey is wishy washy

Sandy Dumont, The Image Architect watches President Obama's Image & Style

Dear President Obama, Grey is not a color for a president. It's a color for many politicians, because it is so wishy washy - neither good nor bad,  black nor white, but somewhere vaguely in between. I think you'll agree that a Grey Lie and a Grey Area do not have positive connotations. Please ditch …

President Obama Take Note

Our President

Most men forget that when you wear a tie, you must have contrast with your suit and/or shirt. Grey Suit + Grey Tie = Boring, and it doesn't make a statement. Love the red striped power tie with your dark navy blue suit and white shirt. Now that's presidential. Grey is a color that was …

Obama- Down With the Blue Tie!

Dear President Obama, Please stop wearing those blue “Bush” ties. They are too washed out to be power ties and are best saved for trips to Palm Beach and other places in the Deep South. You look ever so handsome in your red ties – let’s see more of them. What do you think? Do …

Obama in DADDY JEANS? No Way!

A lot of so called fashion experts accused that were too loose, they were not slim cut enough, in other words they were not sexy enough. I'm sure if he wore designer jeans that were skin tight and sexy, he would get complaints from the average American saying “it’s not fitting for the president to …

President Obama, Role Model Please!

Dear President Obama, You’ve taken a bit of flack for going to the theater in New York City without wearing a tie. The office of President of the United States is such a venerable one, that I think it demands a tie even at the theater in Podunk. You look so much more handsome when …

Michelle Obama exquisite in “Royal Purple”

Glad to see Michelle following her own instincts again and wearing purple. It’s a color that suits her, because it makes her face light up – and, of course, also because it’s a regal color! Ms. Obama is a source of inspiration for women throughout the country.

President Obama- Image of a True Leader

Yes! That is Presidential, Mr. Obama. Those red ties say action, courage, strength. Keep it up. Nancy Pelosi, incidentally, is not in one of her usual jewel tones and needs to ditch the army fatigues colors.
