When in doubt, choose a tie

Like their counterparts, suits, ties are often the most essential items in a man’s closet. Even if your job doesn’t require you to wear a suit and tie to work every day, there will be many moments where not wearing a tie is an immediate indicator that you’re underdressed (and no one likes to be underdressed). A nice dinner party, a first date, or going to see a play could all be events where a tie isn’t expected, but if you showed up in one, you would look like you put in just that little extra effort to look great. A casual tie can signify that you’re put together, but not trying too hard, while an eye catching silk tie can let everyone know that today is a special day.

 


Tie 101

Now, the idea of a tie is that it catches your eye as a perfect outfit focal point, so make it count. Ensure that your tie is clean and pressed before you put it on and take the extra few moments to tie it properly so that the bottom reaches your belt line. Don’t make your knot too big and remember that if you’re wearing a tie clip, it shouldn’t quite reach across your entire tie.


Tie Care

Speaking of being front and center, a tie tends to be the target of any and every spill. Anything from toothpaste to tapas could fall on your tie by the end of the night, so having a few extras is a good idea and so is scheduling a regular dry cleaning service so you know you’ll always have clean ties. Parkers Custom Clothing Care offers dry cleaning pick up and delivery at no extra charge and considering that most ties are dry clean only, this is crucial.

So, the next time you’re wondering whether to tie or not to tie, you know that we’ll always vote for a tie – especially if you can look as awesome as this throwback look from Adam Gallagher at I am Galla.
