Belts and ties are essential accessories in any man’s wardrobe. In fact you can easily end up spending more on ties than any other part of your wardrobe. The main reason behind this is that quality ties are expensive, and you often wind up buying them on whim. It is essential that you become skilled at how to choose perfect ties. This will not only help you to curb your expenditure but also facilitate you in buying ties that will make you look great.

The best and perfect ties convey your personality and professionalism at the same time. As such, they should balance between style and expression. Here are a few rules to be kept in mind while looking for that perfect tie for your wardrobe.

Rule 1: When choosing a tie, it is recommended that you either wear something that is characteristic of your wardrobe or, if feasible, the precise outfit you plan to wear your new tie with. This will help you to zero on to the perfect tie that you are looking for.

Rule 2: The other general rule when selecting a perfect tie is to stick to solid colors especially when you are planning to wear a solid colour suit or when you want to portray an image of attitude and confidence. ‘Power ties’ includes colours like red and blue. Also stripes and tasteful patterns are a safe bet. “Tasteful” means a smaller pattern, that doesn’t draw attention to itself. Paisley is an elegant and striking pattern which will never be taken as loud. But remember if you are planning to wear a patterned tie then go with a very finely patterned or non-patterned shirt.

Rule 3: If you are looking for the best-quality tie be sure to go for silk. Your tie must be made of 100% silk and verify that it was hand-made from a single piece of silk. However, don’t be put out if there is a lining to that perfect tie of yours. It is essential to provide weight so that a tie hangs correctly around your neck.

Lastly, there’s no point choosing a suitable tie if you tie it badly. The two most common mistakes that can ruin the look of a perfect tie are making the knot too big, or tying the tie too short. It should be long enough to just go over the top of your belt, and if you’re in hurry, longer is better than shorter.
