Donald Trump President of the United States

What does Donald Trump's tie style reveal about his personality and leadership style?

Donald Trump, President of the United States, is known for his striking tie choices,

which are often a trademark of his style. He usually wears long, wide-cut ties in bold colours, especially in red or blue. Particularly noticeable is that he often ties his ties so long that they extend beyond his belt – a break from classic fashion rules.

Another detail: Many of his ties come from his own production, as Trump had his own tie line with his brand 'Donald J. Trump Signature Collection'. Ironically, some of these ties were made in China, which caused controversy as Trump has always advocated for 'Made in America'.

Trump Tie Style

His tie style fits his image: dominant, eye-catching, and often against traditional norms. While his red ties are often interpreted as a symbol of power and assertiveness, his blue ties (which he wears less frequently) are more associated with seriousness and trust.

Whether consciously or unconsciously – Donald Trump's choice of ties is part of his brand identity and contributes to the strong visual recognisability of his persona.

In addition to his striking ties, there are some other characteristic features of Mr Trump's clothing style:

1. Tailored suits (mostly in dark colours)

Donald Trump prefers classic, often loosely fitting suits in black, navy blue, or dark grey. His jackets are often cut a bit too wide, which is sometimes perceived as old-fashioned.

2. Overly long ties

As already mentioned, he wears his ties unusually long – often below the belt line. Sometimes he sticks the tie to the back with tape instead of using a tie clip.

3. White shirts with wide collars

Donald Trump almost always pairs his suits with white shirts that have a wide collar. This gives him a distinctive, formal appearance and goes well with his wide tie knots.

4. No accessories other than flag pin

Trump largely forgoes jewellery or flashy accessories. The only constant detail is the small American flag pin that he almost always wears on his lapel – a symbol of his patriotic brand.

5. Hairstyle and tan as trademarks

His clothing style is closely linked to his hairstyle and his striking orange-bronze tan. The blonde, carefully styled hair and his tanned face contribute to his unique and instantly recognisable appearance.

6. No casual look – except for MAGA caps

In public, he is almost never seen in casual clothing. An exception is his appearances in 'Make America Great Again' caps, which he often combines with a polo shirt or a dark bomber jacket – especially at golf events.
