Time for ties

The wrong tie worn at the wrong time or place, or knotted incorrectly, may be as disastrous to your ensemble as an ill-fitting jacket.

Not all ties – or knots – were created equally; when the occasion calls for you to smarten up, whether for work or play, use this guide to help you style your tie the right way.

 

Length matters

Long or short, the tip of your tie should rest neatly at your natural waistline. The exception to this rule is if you’re rocking a short suit, then, by all means, loosen the knot and let the tie hang just above your belly button.
