Information About Selecting Proper Neckties

By Lawanda Burch


Apart from being an ornament, neckties are also the soul of a suit. They are mainly worn in formal events where the dress code is often suits and shirts. However, the type of tie to be worn depends on the actual event since different occasions dictate different modes of dressing. It would be very awkward if you turn up to an event with a clashing suit and tie.

These days most suit colors are black, blue, brown, gray or dark gray. This fact forces designers to come up with ties whose colors can match with the prevailing suit colors. Therefore the most common tie colors that you can find in the market today include purple, dark red, coffee brown and several other colors which are preferably warm.

In order for an individual to properly match a tie and his suit, he must first know the set of colors that cannot clash. In general, bright suits go well with dark ties while dull suits are often worn with brighter neckties. Also, the material from which your tie is made from must be factored in when matching. Some materials can prove to be very shiny and hence not convenient when worn with certain suits.

The complexion of an individual is also a factor when it comes to picking a necktie. People who are fairly dark in complexion are usually advised to wear ties which have medium light tones in their coloring. It is not advisable for such individuals to wear dark or very bright ties since they become too conspicuous and end up looking ridiculous.

The principle of matching ties with suits includes not more than three colors. For example, suits which are navy blue in color can be worn with azure ties which have red stripes or any other pattern on them. Often, gray and beige colored suits are matched with brown, red or any other warm colored tie while light colored shirts such as a light gray shirt can be worn with light colored ties.

Necktie colors must also match the skin tone or general complexion of their wearers. Medium light toned colors on neckties are recommended for people who are a bit darker in complexion. On the other hand light skinned individuals are always advised to put on dull ties to reduce the chance that they end up looking like shiny jewels. Therefore, it is significant that individuals know which ties match well with their complexion.

In most cases beige colored suits go well with brown, red or any other set of colors that are considered warm. Also, navy blue suits combine well with ties which have cool colors like gray with pink shirts. Essentially, the point is to ensure that not everything is bright or dark at the same time.

Tying of neckties can prove to be a challenge when you are doing it for the first time. However, there are some tricks that can be very helpful in achieving this task. When tying your necktie, first button your shirt and hang your tie outside the collar then press its wider end below the collar before pulling the other end. At this point your tie would be caught at the center of your collar which is the exact position that it should be in.
