Tips on choosing a tie

30 June 2016

There exist different types of ties and not all are suited to everybody. Depending on your body type, complexion and personal taste, it is necessary to choose a good tie that will show off your worth. Here are a few tips that will certainly be useful to you when having to choose a tie.

Keep in mind that every person has a body type and that choosing the size of your tie depends on your body type. This rule is easy to understand; the slimmer and more slender you are, the straighter your tie needs to be. In contrast, more portly men should opt for larger ties.

CHOOSING YOUR TIE

 

The Nines offers three sizes of ties: slim (5 to 5.5cm), straight (6 to 6.5cm), and standard (7 to 8cm).

If you have light-coloured hair and a lighter complexion, choose patterned or striped ties to create some contrast.

If you have dark hair and a darker complexion, there are a lot of possibilities out there. Solid-coloured ties and those with more subtle motifs are perfect for you.

If you have a lighter complexion and dark hair, opt for a tie in warm, lively colours.
