How To Buy A Tie

By Victor Santerino

There have been so many articles written on how to properly buy a suit, but not many have been written on the tie. However, this does not mean the tie should not be bought and worn properly.

You will learn tips throughout this piece on all important aspect of tie purchasing.Buying a tie will never be the same after reading this article.

Silk should be the only fabric you ever buy. The polyester tie will always look poorly made and just simply will not do. Although it should be apparent just by the way the tie looks, check each tie to make sure it is made of silk.

Always remember that you need to choose a tie which can reach the top of your belt when tied. Also keep in mind that the front needs to extend further than the back of the tie.

The width needs to be considered carefully before making your purchase as well. Make sure you buy a tie within the 3.5 to 4 inch range. Anything thinner or wider will look out of date and awkward.

The elasticity of a tie needs to be considered wisely when choosing a tie. Make sure the tie can bounce back to shape after you have wrinkled it some.

Lastly, make sure you choose a pattern and color that will match well with the suits and shirts you plan on wearing. Although a tie might look great, it might not look great with the rest of your attire.
