Get business ties. Get 1 tie in navy, and one in a signature color. Then get 1 in plain black.
1. A tie is used to ascertain clues as to your level of taste, employment, responsibility, personality, and sophistication; “Men in ties are winners.”
2. In business, wear a tie that has a pattern: (old school:) regimental stripes, club, Ivy League, paisley, or a plaid print. Spend enough time in a good tie shop to learn the look of each. (New School:) look around your office setting. In some businesses, you can pick and wear a tie to reflect your personality. Follow the lead of senior people in your environment. Welcome to a new day.
3. Practice looking at labels and feeling ties. Learn to distinguish characteristics in each with your fingertips. Ensure that your tie has a bar tac. That is a stitch behind the large end used to keep the small one in place.
4. Ties are to have a separate lining. Each tie can have a string that runs from tip to tip. Check by pulling this string and seeing it draw up.
5. A regular tie is to be 57” long - American. It can be 58” long - European. A custom tie may have up to an additional 5 inches, but why?
Each tie can be 3-4 inches wide at the widest part. Each may be no wider than the lapels of the jacket to be worn with it.
Know how many folds are in each tie, and where each can be cleaned, altered or custom made, without being creased: Tiecrafters, in New York City.
6. When buying a tie take or buy the jacket that will be worn with it. The tie is to have highlights or some hidden color evident in each of the jackets to be worn with it. Each tie is to be darker than, and complement, the shirts to be worn with it. Avoid matching a shirt to a tie too closely.
7. You can pick several shirts out at the time you select each tie. Place a tie on each – step back fifteen feet; take a look, each is to be a happy match or put back.
In social life, you may wear any tie your special someone picked. Share things your partner is to know about a tie. It is to be made of silk, a featherweight foulard silk, a heavier regular weave silk, or a silk and polyester blend. It can be made of wool: lightweight Challis wool, coarser woven wool, or a blend.
A tie can be bought off the peg or be custom made.
Notes on Tie Care
1. Center your tie knot and dimple with the "V" in the collar of your shirt.
2. Pull down the back of your shirt collar. Cover any exposed part of the tie. Check in the mirror, look at the back.
3. Angle the bottom of the knot upward towards the chin.
4. When a tie is long enough, and is tied correctly, the edges of the angles at the side are to be even. Both ends are to come just to the top of your belt.
A tie which is too short may still be used. Start with the smaller end of the tie a little higher up on your shirt. Then you can raise the end of the tie in 1/2-inch increments. Tie your tie up high in the corridor of your collar. Cinch each wrap high up on your tie.
Tie a different knot. A tie is to be the right length. Find the length that correctly fits you. Share this information with your special someone.
Test tying the tie in the store. Practice using the knot that you will use most frequently with the tie being considered. Most ties will fit differently depending on the tie knot. Do this before the tie becomes your property. You can wear a tie clip. Avoid wearing a tie tack except when wearing an ascot with formal morning clothing.
In public, avoid wearing a long tie that has been loosened. It is better to open and remove it completely. Pull it apart from the opposite side in which it was tied.
Remove the knot from your tie right after you remove it from your neck. Store each on rack, peg, or over a towel-covered hanger. If you’re wearing a tie, avoid throwing the tips over your shoulder.
A tie is to be steamed and or hand pressed and hung so as to never know or show a crease.
