1. The tie knot should be tight
The knot is a crucial passage, although it is the last. You have to pull it tight because “the worst mistake you can make is wearing a badly tied tie,” explains Paolo, a Milanese tie maker for three generations. Node type is not important, as long as it is executed well. To help you tie your tie properly, follow this video tutorial and you can’t go wrong.
2. Never too long or too short
Length and width are closely related to the knot. The length is largely determined by how you tie the tie and it is essential that you never extend beyond the waistband.
3. Sober and well-matched colors
The color combination between tie and shirt should be harmonious. Having fun with the tones yes, but always with moderation. It is therefore good to take into account the color combinations: for example burgundy can go with blue or gray, blue on the other hand works well with a gray suit, while the brown version must be used with the blue dress. Basic rules that are always true, regardless of the trend and fashion of the moment!

4. What ties do you need?
You cannot fail to have a blue and a black tie in your wardrobe, they are classics useful for all occasions. To put on your thirty-one for a very big occasion, the best option is the silk gauze tie. It is a very special fabric, made by very few looms in the world and only in Italy. Below, the 5 essential ties to have in your wardrobe!
5. Be careful, not too fancy
When we talk about formal situations and you want to wear a patterned tie, choose microdisegni or false united. It is indeed better to choose a classic design, a printed English pattern that allows you to maintain a low profile. In the more “relaxed” and informal situations, you can choose patterns like lines or knit and cashmere ties for winter.
