Every man will one day have to put on the dreaded tie. However, mens neckties really don't have to be dreaded at all. These little pieces of silk can really compliment your wardrobe.
The tie isn't hard to pick out but you should follow a few rules.
1. When tied, the tip of the tie should hang down to the top of your pants.
2. Take a look in the mirror when your done.
3. Always buy silk ties - anything else will look cheap.
4. When in doubt buy the more conservative looking tie.
5. Get a color that goes with both the shirt and the suit.
6. If you have an expensive suit on you will look better with a completely solid tie.
7. Don't buy a tie without a particular shirt and suit in mind. Not all good ties will look nice with just anything.
