How to match a tie with a classic suit and shirt?

How to recognize the quality of a tie and choose a tie for your silhouette?

Today’s market offers a variety of fabrics and shapes from which men's ties are made. The most noble include cashmere and silk. How to recognize a top-quality tie? Ties made of natural fibers will be distinguished primarily by two features: the lining will not stand out from the outer part of the tie, and a better quality tie will not have a sewn-in label, which can lead the narrower part of the tie, especially a made-up loop.

When it comes to the shape of the tie - men of a stronger and heavier silhouette should avoid a "herring" type tie. An ideal solution for them will be a tie with a width of about 8cm.

Patterns and colors of ties - follow the decorum rule

When it comes to the colors and patterns of the outfit, it is important that you learn two rules. First, the classic and most universal combination is choosing a dark suit, light shirt, and dark tie, i.e., the so-called classic contrast.

Secondly, when betting on patterns, remember the 2 out of 3 rule, so only two elements of the suit-shirt-tie triad should be patterned. They don't have to be uniform designs, but it's important that they are homogeneous, e.g., match a wide check tie with a suit with wide stripes.

How to choose a type of tie for the occasion?

It is precisely the types and color schemes of accessories that reveal the true character of the occasion we are preparing for. Remember that a uniform color combination of a shirt, suit, and tie will not work well in very formal situations. Although monochromatic combinations are the hit of the AW 2016/2017 season, they may remind us of the style of a uniform or uniform. If you are going to a formal meeting and depend on attracting the attention of your fellow meeting participants, choose a strongly reflective red tie - vivid colors will help you be remembered better.
