I have always been and will always be a tie fan. I think a Tie can take you from formal to casual in a matter of seconds. In my opinion it's one of the most versatile pieces a man can own. So obviously this begs the questions "How do I tie one?" & "What do I wear one with?" This post will tackle that very subject as well as others. There are several ways to tie a tie and several ways to wear one. With the chambray shirt becoming ever so popular take a minute and camp here, you won't regret it.
As the young professional becomes more and more looked to, business casual demands respect. A tartan with the right tie can work wonders for any situation. It says silently "i care how I look and keep that up". I'm telling ya, the mindset on ties is innacurate and many young men can utilize a nice tie in order to stand out and make a statement.
I enjoy a tie with just about anything, particularly mixing and matching. As referenced above the chambray shirt is a perfect go to for any color of tie, blue, black, red etc.... The university stripe tie is an awesome statement for a lunch with a client or for a drink and a smoke with the guys. I scooped one from Tommy Hilfiger (vintage slim) for about $35.00. The Hillside is a nice place to start for tie research.
Some tie recommendations from Rob:
Keep it simple, like shirting, blue, grey, black are your best bet.
When going university stripe utilize these key points as well.
Keep your tie thin, (emulating deon sanders and shannon sharpe is not recommended). The thinner the better, it will keep you looking lean and trim.
Don't be afraid to be square, square ties are back.
Invest in a sterling silver tie bar (clip). This particularly looks sharp with a matching plaque belt. See Jcrew for a nice one.
Wear it big, wear it proud. Own it. Confidence is key here.
