The tie is a symbol of attention to detail, and its presence says a lot about the outfit worn. However, choosing a tie can become extremely difficult by the simple fact that a wrong choice can ruin the whole outfit. To determine the best option, take into account the following style tips.
1. Fabric
The shinier a tie (silk), the more it will indicate the business or elegant code. If it is matte (wool/cotton), it will refer to a casual, relaxed outfit.
2. Color
The tie can be the essential stain of color in any suit. Keep in mind the color, depending on the suit and the shirt, but don’t forget to consider the handkerchief.
3. Width
In general, the width of the tie varies between 4 (very slim) and 9.5 cm (wide). To choose the perfect width, consider the width of the jacket’s lapel. It should be directly proportional to it.
4. Tie needle
It is optional but only when you are not wearing a vest! If you wear a vest, give it up.
5. Node type and length
The knot is chosen depending on the kind of shirt collar, but be careful with the tie’s optimal length. As a general rule, the top of the tie is recommended to reach the pants’ waistband.
6. With or without a pattern?
If you opt for a striped tie, make sure you don’t have a striped shirt. Otherwise, they will interfere visually in an unpleasant way. It is also valid for those in polka dots or paisley. Visual harmony is essential in combining the tie with the shirt.
