The Biggest Mistakes Men Make When Wearing a Tie
Tying and wearing a tie does require some thought. Below are the top 3 fashion mistakes men make when dressing up with a necktie.
#1: Too Long – Too Short
Tying a tie incorrectly is the #1 worst tie fashion mistake! A tie should be tied so that it ends at your belt buckle. Ties that are tied too shirt will look goofy and will actually make you look chubbier. Too long tied neckties also look out of place. They might make you like thinner but it will still look awkward.
#2: Novelty Ties
Novelty ties (ties with big pictures and motifs) are also considered a fashion Faux Pas. No matter how much you like star wars, do not go to the office displaying Darth Vader – unless you are a video game software developer. The only time novelty ties are acceptable in business are certain holidays. Wearing a stars and stripe necktie for 4th of July is a classic example.
#3: Wrong Tie Width
Most ties are 3.25 – 3.75 inches in width. Skinny ties are popular among younger men. If you choose to wear a trendy skinny tie then make sure that it matches your body type and suit jacket. Skinny ties look best with narrow suit lapels and are best suited for thin and tall men. If you are of bigger built then stick to the traditional tie width.
