Urban dictionary says: [link]

principally red or blue tie with conservative patterning tied in a double windsor. The most common pattern is a simple stripe but anything conservative works. The style is easier to recognize than to describe. Often accompanied by an overly aggressive handshake, gaudy rolex, and ample cologne.

I think a power tie could be a simple stripe, but yeah, generally red.

I would say that it is a rep tie (striped).

Yellow tie with little blue diamonds. Probably very old-fashioned, but that's what I picture for a power tie.

-t, that was almost what I said. Very Gordon Gecko

That's about right for when I picked it up.

The red tie thing is from the Reagan era, right? Because Nancy liked red, so the reporters who wore red ties would get called on more at press conferences. Or so goes the lore as I heard it.

I think so. Completely unpatterned ties are very Regis Philbin to me, even red.

Reeg was the same color shirt and tie set, remember that?? It's kind of nice to remember that there are weird trends for men as well, sometimes.
