A necktie is the ornament of the suit and also the soul of the suit.
In the formal occasion, you feel losing something if wearing a suit without a tie.
Neckties have many styles in different colors and the necktie materials are mainly in silk or polyester.
The selected ties should be matched with shirts and suits.
At present, the colors of most suits are gray, dark gray, blue, black, and brown so the appropriate colors of neckties should be dark red, purple, coffee brown, or other warm colors.
The medium light tone color neckties are suitable for dark complexion but not the neckties in dark or too light color.
In general, the match between a suit and a necktie should have layer feel.
If light color suits with dark color neckties or dark suits with light color neckties, both ways look good.
The width of neckties should also be coordinated with the width of shirt collar or suit collar.
The large pointed collar shirt with a narrow tie or a wide necktie with a small collar suit is inappropriate.
Whether the colors of neckties, shirts, and suits match is another issue we should pay attention to.
Generally, the principle is no more than three colors.
For example, a navy suit can go with a blue shirt and an azure necktie; of course, the tie can have some red or white stripes or other patterns.
Usually, the beige or gray light colored suits are suitable for the neckties in red, brown, or other warm color and the light colored shirts in beige, or light gray; the blue or navy suits in dark colors are good to go with the neckties in cool colors, such as blue or gray neckties with azure or pink shirts.
In other words, light colored neckties and shirts are suitable for light gray suits; for dark suits, shirts should be in light color and neckties should be in dark color.
In addition, the choice of tie color should also be coordinated with the specific occasion.
For example, bright colorful neckties are preferred in festival and dinner parties; the dark or black ties should be tied in the solemn occasion.
There are certain rules to match ties and suits.
Neckties with stripe patterns are divided into two styles: British and American.
The stripe pattern which is from top right to lower left is British Style and the stripe from top left to lower right is American style.
In general, the suits of British or French style should go with British style neckties and the American or Italian suits must go with American style ties.
Since the necktie is an important male specific accessory, the choice of tie can often reflect a person psychological characteristics.
A short tie with a large knot indicates the strong confidence of a man; A tie with a too tight or too small knot demonstrates the characteristics of self-abased.
Based on that, the necktie should be loosely tied in decency.
There are some tricks on tying neckties.
You have no need to turn over the collar to wear a tie with the following tip.
Button up your shirt first; hang the necktie outside the collar, press the wider end under the collar, pull the other end, and then your tie is caught in the middle of collar.
If your necktie is tied well, both ends should be drooping naturally with the wide end upon the narrow one and the appropriate length is that the tie tip is right on the waist line.
If wearing a suit vest or a V-collar sweater at the same time, the tie should be worn within the vest or sweater.
