Today, Jessica tells us about men's neckties.

Ties can be called a common accessory in life, but this does not mean that you can pick a tie and tie it around your neck, remember that it is a tie, not a cord. There are some minor rules in this, you should pay attention to.

Tie size

Tie size diagram:

Total length of tie: refers to the total distance between the two tips of the tie, generally between 130-150cm.

When the tie is properly fastened, the tip of the wider end should just reach the top edge of the waistband.

Tie width: refers to the width of the widest position of the entire tie, and the suitable width is constantly changing with the age.

The current mainstream necktie style is between 8-9cm, which is in line with the dress image of men.

In addition, the width of the tie should be proportional to the width of our shoulders, which will make your whole person look more coordinated. Men with wider shoulders can consider a tie with a larger width to make it in proportion to their figure.

6-8cm wide ties belong to the casual style, generally used for informal occasions. But the tie width is best not less than 6cm, will give people feel too frivolous, in the workplace, we need to keep this in mind.

The width of the tie with the suit, usually a single row of two-button suit collar will form a V-shaped area, if you master the following skills, you will find that there are a lot of golden section ratio. As shown in the picture:


Perfect ratio: A:B=1:3, a=b

A stands for tie knot width

B represents the maximum width at which the shirt collar meets the inside of the suit

a stands for the maximum width where the tie meets the suit

b represents the maximum width of the vertical lapel fold where the shirt collar meets the suit.

Necktie pattern selection

The color and pattern of the tie often reflect a person's personality and image, and many men with power tend to wear ties with dark simple patterns to represent his authority.

Generally according to the use of the scene, the tie pattern has such a few choices to pay attention to:

The tie with the color is more striking, which can add a little vitality and elegance to the solid color suit, especially the dark suit. According to the occasion, age to choose the right color and pattern, can make the overall shape more colorful.

Tie matching

Many men are aware of the importance of ties, but do not know what color tie to wear with shirts and suits.

In the tie color, there is a uniform rule:

your tie should always be a darker shade than your shirt, without exception.

Here we talk about the color rules of several ties for your reference:

  1. Match colors

The method of matching suits, shirts and ties with the same color is easier to master. This collocation is also very professional characteristics, can make our overall look more harmonious.

For example: light blue shirt + blue suit + blue tie

However, the brightness and purity of the three should be changed, avoid being too stiff, the tie pattern should be contrasted with the clothing pattern, can not be mixed into a piece, it is not clear, the following is a wrong demonstration:

  1. Contrast colors

The most contrasting color is black and white. If you already have a black suit and a black tie, it is best not to match a black shirt, first of all, the color level is not obvious enough to distinguish, followed by a black shirt is not formal enough, so it is better to choose a white shirt with a strong contrast.

For example: white shirt + black suit + black tie

If you want to stand out more, you can contrast the tie with the suit and shirt color, such as: white shirt + blue suit + red tie

At this time, the color of the tie as long as it echoes one of the shirts or suits, it can be coordinated and beautiful.

In addition, you can also use pocket towels as an echo, such a combination can make you more stylish.

Simple summary: Novice collocation try to match with the same color system, you can appropriately choose some colors to echo, so it is not easy to make mistakes. The color of the tie should at least echo one of the colors of the shirt, suit or pocket towel, and disorder is a big taboo.

Jessica thinks the material used to make a tie is the soul of the whole tie. In comparison, the silk material is more worthy of a delicate tie. Mulberry silk is a natural fiber. It is a continuous long fiber formed by solidifying the silk liquid secreted by mature silkworm when it cocoons. It is known as the "queen of fibers".

Tie clip

Your tie flutters in the air when the wind blows? The tip of your tie stuck in your plate while toasting someone at a wine table?

These behaviors are very unelegant, easy to make you lose a gentleman, with a small tie clip can easily help you solve these problems.

Tie clips can help your tie sit straight in the middle of your upper body, keeping your overall look formal and neat.

How to use a tie clip correctly?

Placement: Shirt buttons from top to bottom count between the third and fourth buttons, the two ends together with the shirt clip;

Tie clip length: the length of the tie clip should be three-quarters of the width, and the Angle should be horizontal and straight;

Color selection: The general choice is silver or gold, you can also add some decorative colors, so that it looks more elegant, and try to echo other metal colors on your body, such as: watches, cufflinks, etc.
