Men?s ties ? neckties and men?s shopping

Posted by Tiesnsuch12 on April 12th, 2013

Shopping for neckties doesn’t appear to be a big deal.  You go to the store and you grab a tie that isn’t too ugly, right?  Let’s face it, most of the standard patterns don’t speak to every generation.  It can be a lot harder than you think to find a tie to fit your style.

Men’s shopping can be a feat because most men don’t know how to properly accessorize their outfits.  They have a hard time combining fabrics and styles.  It’s ok to take a friend with you when you shop.  It’s even better if you can visit a department store that offers personal shoppers to help choose the correct look for you.

Men’s ties don’t have a huge variation in style.  They are skinny and super skinny ties to accompany the standard tie now.  Some are solid colors, some are solid colors with a texture pattern to the fabric, and some are made from a colorful patterned fabric.  This is where you will need to decide what color or pattern to chose.

When having a men’s shopping for ties adventure, give yourself a little extra time.  Don’t just run into the store and grab the first one that doesn’t make you dizzy to look at it.  Think about where you’re going and the shirt you will be wearing it with.  Believe it or not, the tie is what will make your outfit stand out.  It is the first thing people will notice.

The color or pattern of the necktie isn’t all that’s important.  Choosing the right fabric for the season is important, too.  Wearing wool should be done in the winter, where lighter fabrics like linen or cotton are better for summer.  Some fabrics like silk and synthetic silk alternatives can be worn any time of the year.

Now that we’ve covered the basics of choosing men’s ties, let’s talk about actually wearing them.  Properly tying the tie is crucial to the look.  The tip of the wide side of the tie should touch the top of your belt.  No exceptions.  Windsor, half Windsor, four in hand, and Pratt are the four common knot styles. Choose the knot style that you like best.

If you are all thumbs and you can’t seem to tie your necktie yourself, ask a friend to help.  Spouses, parents, and friends are usually happy to lend a hand.  If nobody is around to help, enlist the help of the internet for instructions.  Many sites even have videos to show you how to do it. 

Putting the look together properly is important.  The right tie can make or break your look.  Men’s ties are synonymous with a rocking pair of high heals for ladies.  It draws positive attention and gives a look of confidence.
