How To Wear Ties


 
Wear Ties That Fit Your Personality
     
How to wear ties may seem a little silly to address, but there are quite a few people who dress as if they don't know how to wear a tie. First off, ties are designed to make a statement. You can easily get away with wearing a suit or shirt with no tie at all. Many people do it. There are many fashions that allow for the absence of a tie, but if you're going to wear ties, you need to at least know the basics. The best neck ties are worn correctly. Whether you like it or not, it forms an impression of you

Remember, a tie is a neck tie, not a neck noose. There have been people who have actually passed out from tying a tie too tight. You should be able to easily stick your finger between your neck and shirt collar and move it around the circumference of you neck. Skinny ties work best with long button down shirts or slacks and sports coat. Never wear a skinny tie with a vest or vest jacket.

Short sleeve shirts are the worst for any type of tie, unless you keep your jacket on and no one will know. It makes you look geeky, unless that's the image you want to portray. The days of sticking the end of your tie inside your space between your buttons are over. And unless you're around machines with fast moving parts, don't tuck your tie into your waist band...ever.

Unlike a cravat or ascot, there is a limited environment for ties being worn for casual wear. Dress casual, but not casual. Solid color ties go well with any outfit as long as you coordinate your colors. It's been done, but you really don't want to wear a tie with Polo type shirts nor shirts with little or no collar. You have just been schooled on "How To Wear Ties".

This silk printed ascot by boxed-gifts looks smart and snazzy with my fancier clothes when I dress up for a party or even a somewhat less formal occasion. The way it puffs out makes it appear very classy and that's excellent. This ascot gives a formal and sophisticated look to a man's appearance so I wouldn't advise wearing this with a T-shirt and jeans! Whatever you decide, don't be fooled--this may not be the most popular necktie for gents, but wow, how it looks GREAT when I wear it to a holiday office party in a hotel or if I am going out to dinner in a fancy restaurant.

It's not tied exactly the same way as you would tie a regular tie; but then again it's not that different, either. You'll learn how to tie it without much difficulty.

Although this ascot comes in brown and red, the more conservative choices are blue and black; blue and black will probably go with the widest variety of outfits you could wear. Of course, you might want brown or red depending on the colors of the outfit you want to wear it with.

Give this ascot serious consideration when choosing a necktie, guys! It's very classy, not that hard to tie, and it looks extremely sophisticated without a doubt. It's an excellent alternative to a regular gentleman's tie

I bought this about two months ago. I bought the light blue one, it is a few feet long and at first complicated to tie. But then I stopped being an idiot and go the right method. I wear it with gray and white, tucked in. The reactions are mostly mixed. At my school the more conservative guys will call it gay, almost all women will like it, and the more normal guys will appreciate the class. I wear it tucked in and I think it looks awesome. The material is pretty light, perfect for summer or spring. To be honest, the first I wore it, i was embarrassed, but don't be. You'll stand out to others and really make an impression! I am right about to buy my second as well.

I love this look, the women love it and men hate on you. If you don't mind standing out and looking good this is for you, if not stick with a tie. Great quality and gets a lot of attention.
