What is the correct length of a tie?
After tying the knot, the tip of the tie should reach the height of the belt buckle, or at most half of the buckle. The final length will depend on the type of knot (there are knots that require several passes, such as the Windsor knot) and the height of the person.
What is the correct width of the tie?
At their widest point, ties typically range from 5 to 9 centimeters. A 3-inch tie is a pretty classic middle ground and you generally can't go wrong.
Narrower ties are considered more casual.
Can I wear a white tie?
By convention, white (or ivory, or silver) ties are considered reserved for weddings.
Can I wear any tie with any shirt?
There are some combinations that are more difficult than others to get right.
Probably the most complex is the "striped shirt and striped tie ". Unless the stripes are very different in size, the resulting optical effect can be unpleasant.
How to choose the "right" tie color and style?
In general, the tie is one of the few elements of men's fashion where men can dare to make original and imaginative choices: a tie may or may not be liked, but in general it is not "wrong".
If you don't know what to choose, choose the simplest and safest option - a solid-coloured tie (without any patterns) with a white or blue shirt. The most common choice for colour is a dark blue (navy) or red tie .
