Tips About Picking The Right Neckties

By Lawanda Burch


Neckties constitute very important accessories when it comes to male formal dressing. They are often dubbed as the souls of suits since they tend to bring out the actual appeal of such clothing. They are also seen as fashion ornaments. Nonetheless, the kind of tie worn is dependent on the event to which an individual is headed.

These days most suit colors are black, blue, brown, gray or dark gray. This fact forces designers to come up with ties whose colors can match with the prevailing suit colors. Therefore the most common tie colors that you can find in the market today include purple, dark red, coffee brown and several other colors which are preferably warm.

It is usually very embarrassing when an individual shows up to an official function without having properly matched his necktie and his suit. Neckties which have medium light tone colors are often suitable for people who have dark complexion. Generally, when it comes to matching suits with ties an individual should ensure that the two items have a layer feel. For instance, dark colored suits are known to match with light colored ties and vice verse.

The complexion of an individual is also a factor when it comes to picking a necktie. People who are fairly dark in complexion are usually advised to wear ties which have medium light tones in their coloring. It is not advisable for such individuals to wear dark or very bright ties since they become too conspicuous and end up looking ridiculous.

The principle of matching ties with suits includes not more than three colors. For example, suits which are navy blue in color can be worn with azure ties which have red stripes or any other pattern on them. Often, gray and beige colored suits are matched with brown, red or any other warm colored tie while light colored shirts such as a light gray shirt can be worn with light colored ties.

Necktie colors must also match the skin tone or general complexion of their wearers. Medium light toned colors on neckties are recommended for people who are a bit darker in complexion. On the other hand light skinned individuals are always advised to put on dull ties to reduce the chance that they end up looking like shiny jewels. Therefore, it is significant that individuals know which ties match well with their complexion.

The width of your tie must also fit into the collar of your shirt without being too big or too small. Ties which have bigger widths usually end up showing on the collar sides which is not right. This means that one should know the size of his collar width before purchasing his tie so as to ascertain that the sizes match.

Tying of neckties can prove to be a challenge when you are doing it for the first time. However, there are some tricks that can be very helpful in achieving this task. When tying your necktie, first button your shirt and hang your tie outside the collar then press its wider end below the collar before pulling the other end. At this point your tie would be caught at the center of your collar which is the exact position that it should be in.
