How long should a tie be?

How long should a tie be according to the rules of etiquette? When buying this accessory, you can use this method: attach one end of the tie to your neck, if the other end of the tie reaches your knees, then the length of the tie is suitable. Remember: a long tie is better than a short one. After all, the length can be reduced by the node.

The rules of etiquette state that in a tie, the tightened form should reach the waist line of the trousers with the lower end. The length of the tie is from 125 to 147 cm. The wide part of the tie should reach the belt plaque. When choosing this item of clothing will have to take into account the style (figure). For example, a wide tie is suitable for overweight men, narrow, up to 10 cm. - for men of thin and tall. If wearing a narrow tie is not your style, you can always choose the model that suits you. The choice is wide. Today, fashion dictates the width of a tie from 9 to 10.5 cm, but if you still like the classic style, then choose a width of 6-7 cm.

In the world of men's clothing can be seen wearing a tie without a jacket. But here you need to follow the rules, without which you can easily "lose the image":

• a bright tie is distracting; he should not interfere;
• the end of the tie should fall on the belt line of the trousers;
• The shirt should be long sleeved.
• The combination of a tie and a shirt is important. Here fit plain shirts of different shades.

Men's mistake - the choice of a tie. It can be beautiful or fashionable, but not at all combined with your wardrobe. Therefore, you need to pick up a tie to the clothes you have, and not vice versa. An important choice is the choice of a tie according to the color type: fair-haired and with white skin, men should choose monochrome combinations, men with dark hair will suit bright-colored ties with clear lines. If you choose a tie with a pattern, remember that all other elements of your toilet should be without a pattern.

Another men's mistake - a tie, a shirt with short sleeves. We must not forget that a short sleeve is a free item of clothing, but a tie is not. Combining these two elements, we show different styles of clothing.

• Care. Although a tie is a small item of clothing, it requires close attention to itself: it is not washed by hand, otherwise the type of product will be “lost”. Use dry cleaning, but if there is no such possibility, you can “save” the tie yourself: remove alcohol stains with salt, using water and soap - stains from tea, coffee, chocolate, but only a stain remover will help you from lipstick and ink. When you decide to remove the tie, then carefully untie the knot, without stretching. Keep in limbo. If possible, use special covers for this.

• The cloth. Use natural materials. Silk is the most preferred: it always looks good and maintains various knots.Cashmere and wool make neckties in the style of smart casual (elegantly - casual) or casual (casual), knitted ties. Cotton, tweed, felt - also a common material for the manufacture of ties.

For a business suit, choose a classic tie (medium-sized pattern, polka-dotted, striped, of the same type), playful patterns or a butterfly tie will be out of place here. Clothing free, informal style means checkered, bright shades tie. Good tone rules require: a shirt should not be darker than a tie. If you follow the color shades by type: shirt, suit, tie, you get the following - light, dark, even darker. If you choose this option, you will always be in a winning position. If you choose a shirt and a dark suit, then choose a tie of the opposite, gray shade. The principle of choice is the following (we remember by the previous criteria “shirt, suit, tie” of the GSC):

A tie of good quality, "real", has a stitched loop, it can have a piece of fabric from which it is sewn. The purpose of a piece of fabric is to hold the narrow end of the tie so that it does not “peek out”, “not go out” because of the wide end. If there is both on the tie, it is both a quality product.

• Use clamps. In order that the tie does not interfere, does not get dirty, does not fall on the arm - one of the methods of wearing this accessory correctly. The clips are pinned through the label, from the inside, so that there are no puffs on the fabric. It is usually fixed at the level of the 3rd button, and with a buttoned jacket it will not be visible. But it is used not only for fixation: the clip can give the appearance individuality and originality. Remember: the harder the drawing, the easier the clamp.

A tie with a pattern speaks about the calm, balanced character of its owner, the polka-dot pattern is about a purposeful person. People of the creative profession choose a floral pattern, and conservatives, caring and kind men - a striped pattern. But to argue that these findings are suitable for all men on the planet, it is impossible. They only emphasize the individuality of personal clothing for each of us.

The knot affects the location, length, style of a tie. It does not need to do much tight, and the shirt collar - close it. Practice in front of a mirror or ask a knowledgeable person to help.
