How to Choose the Right Necktie? - By: Jeff A Hardy

1. Choose a necktie made of quality fabric. The best fabric for ties is silk or satin that is labeled 100%. The shine of these fabrics go to make your entire attire attractive.


2. Choose a necktie with just the right length according to your height. Tall guys should choose a long tie and the shorter ones should choose short ties. The triangular edge of the tie should meet your bucket when tied properly around your neck. Try to tie the necktie in such a way that it extends i/2 inch past your belt line.


3. Match the color of your necktie with your shirt\'s or suit\'s color in order to achieve balance and harmony.


4. The easiest selection of tie comes when you wear a white shirt. It goes with any tie having whatsoever color under the sun. When wearing a colored shirt, try to contrast it with the tie color. If wearing a dark color shirt, go for a light colored tie. If wearing a light color shirt, then choose a dark colored tie. You can even select shirt and tie of similar color but the tie should be somewhat lighter or darker than the color of the shirt.


5. If you wear a shirt having stripes or checks then choose a tie having color that matches the dominant color of the stripes or checks.


6. Ties with patterns can also be selected for stripped or checkered shirts but you\'ll have to be ultra cautious about selecting the patterns. A tie having box pattern, pin or polka dots can match a stripped shirt and the tie that has diagonal stripes can go with checkered shirts. However, ensure that the color of the tie complements well with the dominant color of the shirt otherwise you can end up looking funny.
