Neckties, bowties

A tie is a simple, understated, and yet so elegant piece of clothing. Its colors and way of tying have become a symbol of individuality and expression around the world. Find out below how to choose the right tie, what knots there are and which ties you should have in your wardrobe.

How to choose the right tie?
The first thing you should consider when choosing a tie is the color of the suit and shirt. Neutral colors are universal, but with a contrasting color you can add liveliness to the outfit. Silk is the most common material for this garment as it provides an elegant sheen and softness, but both wool and cotton can be great choices for casual or business combinations. The width of the tie can vary, but it usually adjusts to the width of the jacket lapel. The standard width is around 8-9 centimeters, while the more modern variants are narrower (6-7 centimeters).

Tying a Tie
Tying a tie can seem like an art, but with a few steps and a little practice, anyone can learn how to tie a tie properly.
• Classic Windsor Knot: This knot is larger and more elegant. It is performed by putting the tie over the neck; place the end of the narrow part under the wider one, then wrap the wider one around it and pull it through the loop.
• Half-Windsor Knot: Similar to the Windsor, but slightly smaller. It fits perfectly with less wide ties.
• Four-in-hand knot: If the previous two gave you trouble, you will tie this knot without a doubt. It's simple and great for everyday wear.

Which ties should every man have in his wardrobe?
Just as every woman's wardrobe should contain a pair of black shoes and a little black dress, so every man should contain an elegant suit, shirt and a pair of ties.
• A classic solid color silk tie, perfect for business occasions or formal events.
• A black tie is an ideal choice for evening occasions or formal events.
• And finally, one designed or patterned, which will add liveliness and style to different outfits on special occasions.
