When I was in prep school (1971-75) and had to wear a coat and tie to class,
the red diagonal striped tie was ubiquitous. Look at

That's too early for yellow. In the mid/late 80's the power tie was red,
either a solid red or the striped one, occasionally a tiny print. I went

Dark (black or dark grey) blazers with little flecks of color in the fabric
immediately come to mind for that period. I wonder why? :-P

A quick Google turns up that the yellow power tie was 1980s, and a 1987 article
alluding to the fact that they were already on the way out--so sounds mid-80s
to me.? (Sorry I don't remember from personal experience--my husband was in the
military in those years so had no choice of tie color!)

Yes! That was it! Even when it was everywhere, yellow was not the power tie.

Oh, I definitely remember the yellow ties being called power ties, too,
though--I just didn't remember quite when that was.
Right now on Turner Classic Movies is the 1938 film Pygmalion. It is the same
story as My Fair Lady with the same characters. The ladies' gowns are designed
by Schiaparelli and Worth. This is the first time TCM has shown the film.

Yes! That was it! Even when it was everywhere, yellow was not the power

If I tell you that to me, TCM is the abbreviation for Traditional Chinese

It appears that he is wearing a tshirt under the tunic instead of a
shirt/tunic.
I think brais and hosen are associated with the tunic's era, though if you
