Tips About Picking The Right Neckties

By Lawanda Burch


During formal occasions an individual generally feels that something is off when he is wearing a suit without a tie. This is because a necktie is both an ornament and the soul of a suit. Neckties can be found in many colors and styles but most of them are mainly made out of polyester or silk materials.

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.

In order for an individual to properly match a tie and his suit, he must first know the set of colors that cannot clash. In general, bright suits go well with dark ties while dull suits are often worn with brighter neckties. Also, the material from which your tie is made from must be factored in when matching. Some materials can prove to be very shiny and hence not convenient when worn with certain suits.

Choosing the wrong type of necktie to an event can cause great embarrassment. Therefore, it is important to go the extra mile and ask if you have no idea about such matters. If you are a married man, you can consult your wife on these matters since women mostly have one or two ideas when it comes to dressing. Otherwise, you can search the internet for information about neckties and events.

Another essential thing to look at when choosing a tie for that special occasion is its width. Ties which have small widths must never be worn with shirts made with larger widths and the opposite is also not allowed. In fact, ties which have larger widths cannot fit well in small width collars without coming out on the collar sides.

Whether the colors on shirts, suits and neckties match is also another thing to pay attention on. It is known that the three items must not constitute more than three colors for them to easily match. For example, if your choice for a suit is navy then a blue shirt and an azure tie can come in handy.

In most cases beige colored suits go well with brown, red or any other set of colors that are considered warm. Also, navy blue suits combine well with ties which have cool colors like gray with pink shirts. Essentially, the point is to ensure that not everything is bright or dark at the same time.

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.
