TIE Tips
A tightly-knotted, shabby tie will never enhance any man’s image. A well-designed, warn-coloured tie with a large knot sends out a more positive message. To test whether a tie is well made, hold it up by its smaller end and see whether it twists or hangs straight.
Ties should touch the top of your belt buckle when you stand straight, never above or below. A silk tie should always be properly untied and not simply slipped of without undoing the knot. Hung up overnight, the creases will straighten ut. For work, always use a silk tie and not a polyester one.
Combining colours with shirts or suits
- Your shirt should be lighter-coloured than your suit.
- The tie must repeat the color of the suit , shirt or both.
- Wear only two-colour families. If you wear a navy blue suit and pink shirt with a red tie for instance, you have three colours on you.
- Wearing a plain shirt with plain trousers and a patterned tie is the most common combination, but you can also combine two patterns with one solid colour (e.g. a striped shirt and a patterned tie with a plain jacket).
