Choosing A Man’s Tie

A tie is one of the mandatory elements of a man’s suit, stipulated by the strict dress code. You cannot hide an unsuccessfully chosen tie because it is always in sight. So that your morning does not start with painful thoughts in front of the mirror with a pair of ties in your hands, we have written a small guide to choosing this accessory.

First, choose a suit for today, then choose a shirt to go with it. Done! Now you can move on to ties. Read our recommendations, choose a couple of suitable options, and apply them to a shirt and a jacket.

Color

Choose a tie lighter than the suit but a couple of shades darker than the shirt.

The tie should match the color of either the shirt or the fabric of the suit. If you are wearing a blue suit and a blue shirt, do not choose a tie in the same color. Play on the contrast – choose a dark blue suit + a blue shirt, and a burgundy tie. It is better to pick the combination of black and white if you are not yet confident in your ability to combine colors.

Pattern

The same pattern on all the costume details is not a good decision.

A checkered tie can be worn only with a plain suit, and vice versa. But a striped tie can be worn with a basic suit or combined with a thin striped costume. The main thing is to choose strips of different widths and a monochromatic tie in the color of the strips. A small print on a tie is combined with a plain suit or a thin stripe.

If you like experiments, try playing with combinations of several different textures and patterns. Remember that this approach requires impeccable taste.

By the way, you can add a pocket square to the image to emphasize the combination of a suit and a tie. But the more details you have in your look, the more carefully you need to select them.

Material

The fabric of a good tie should contain natural fibers.

A tie made of thin silk fabric is unsuitable for woolen or tweed suits. A suit with melange or bouclé texture requires a plain tie – matte silk will be perfect. A thick jacquard tie is not compatible with summer suits.

For an informal look, you can experiment with a narrow knitted tie – they are back in fashion.

Stylists Recommend

A few recommendations from professionals on color combinations:

·       Ties of different colors, patterns, and textures are combined with a white shirt. But in the case of a strict dress code, avoid extravagant ties.

·       A gray shirt is also a versatile option.

·       Beige is combined with shades of brown.

·       A burgundy or black tie looks good with a red shirt, and you can match a purple or striped tie with the burgundy shirt.

·       A blue shirt harmonizes well with gray. You can also try burgundy, yellow, red, and black.

·       Choose bright shades – red, yellow, and green for a blue shirt.

·       If the shirt is green, try dark green shades for a tie.

·       You can wear almost any contrasting color under a black shirt. Focus on the color of your suit.

·       Pink is a somewhat inconsistent color. Match it with purple, red, or blue.

If you are a conservative or don’t want to deal with complex images, take a simple and win-win recipe for always looking perfect. It is enough to have one branded suit made of good fabric in a thin stripe, several stylish plain shirts, and 5-7 ties of different colors. You can combine many fascinating looks from these items.

And a couple more recommendations:

·       Learn how to tie at least one knot;

·       The width of the tie should coincide with the width of the jacket lapels and the height of the shirt collarю The length of the tie should be up to the waist;

·       If you wear a tie clip, it must be entirely hidden by a jacket;

·       Dark shades of suit and tie are preferred for everyday looks. Leave bright colors for evening options;

·       The tie must correspond to the general style – a strict business suit is worn with a strict tie.

We collected magnificent ties of classic colors and patterns in the Pierre Cardin catalog. You will find options for your business image.
