Rules For Wearing Neckties

Are there certain rules you need to follow when it comes to choosing the right Necktie? Yes! The only rule that applies is you should feel comfortable when wearing a necktie. Imagine if you will, you put on a khaki pair of pants and blazer with a white shirt underneath and between them, a necktie printed with smiley face patterns. Would you be comfortable wearing this? You might, if you are wearing sneakers and a baseball cap, but if you are wearing one of your best suits and some Italian Loafers and you are on your way to a business meeting, you would probably fill tremendously uncomfortable, right? This is why you always have to check your comfort level when putting on that Perfect looking NeckTie. For business, it is always best to have some conservative neck ties consisting of neutral colors with neat patterns. Neckties should compliment your shirts and suits but they do not have to be the same color as your suit. At the same time, they should always be suitable for the event you are attending. If you follow this one simple rule you will be confident in your wardrobe.

Rules for looking your best!

There are some basic rules that men ignore, but must be aware of when dressing up for work or that special occasion.

The first rule is always be well groomed. Make sure you are clean shaven, or if you have a beard/mustache that it is trimmed properly, and always have your hair neatly combed with gel or mousse so it stays all day.

The next important rule is never wear jeans and sneakers to work. You are not going to a ball game so do not dress like you are. Make sure your wardrobe consists of kakis, chinos and dress slacks. Instead of sneakers get a comfy pair of loafers. When choosing the right shirt stick to subtle colors and prints that don’t stand out. The most popular shirt is the small pinstriped fitted shirt.

For more formal outings don’t be afraid to wear a suit. Power dressing is one way you can look your best. When choosing the proper suit keep in mind that during the winter months you wear darker colors and spring and summer you wear lighter shades.

One of the most common mistakes men do is to wear white socks. Never ever wear white socks unless you are in shorts and sneakers. Always choose dark colors that match the outfit you are wearing.

Finally choose wisely when it comes to your Belts and Ties. If we are talking about work then go with a conservative belt or Necktie, but if you are going out on the town then it is ok to be daring so bust out a Snakeskin belt or something retro.

Remember dressing properly does not have to be a chore and when you find the right look you will look good and feel confident in who you are.

How to combine a Pattern shirt with a Printed tie.

The most important thing is to make sure you do not look overwhelming. “Just remember that a small print next to a larger one will quickly create an elegant ensemble”. (Farah Averill) If your Neck Tie or Pocket Square has a small print, for instance, your shirt should have a larger one.

Also make sure you wear your colors wisely. You need to understand what colors are right for your style and skin tone.
