Picking The Right Tie
Monday, January 25, 2010


It’s a New Year, which means plenty of resolutions to go around! Often this includes upgrading one’s wardrobe to reflect the “new you” for the upcoming year.

So let’s start with an often overlooked fashion accessory that is making a comeback – the necktie! Yes there is more to it than just picking a color that matches your suit and tying it properly. Believe it or not, your tie can say a lot about you, and can often make or break how people look at you.

Here are three tips to keep you from getting tied up!

• A proper tie should hit the top of your belt buckle, and be between 3 and 4 inches wide. If you wear a tie that’s too short, you can come across as clueless. Too long, and you look like a little kid trying on daddy’s clothes. Use different knots to get the proper length, and make sure to use the tie’s keeper to hold the skinny end in place.

• In business, whether or not you need a tie is all about your role versus where the money is. The closer you are to the money, the more you need to wear that tie, especially if you have to sell your services or convince someone else to give you the money. If you are on the opposite end of the spectrum, you can probably get away with not wearing it.

• Match your jacket, suit, and tie to your natural complexion. If you are a high contrast person (dark hair and light skin or vice versa), your outfit should be the same way. If your hair-skin contrast is much softer, then go for lower-constrasting colors as well.
