Neck tie is a very useful fashion apparel. Most of the men love to have a perfect match of neck tie along with their dress outfit when they want to look serious, stylish or successful at formal functions. If a man wears a neck tie since a long time doesn't means that he is doing all correct. Many men make fashion mistakes while they tie or adjust a neck tie such as a wrong kind of knot or not tying the proper length.
There are few simple ethics or rules of thumb that could help you out in getting the proper necktie etiquette:
Length of the neck tie
The most often made mistake that men make is when they adjust their neck tie in a way that lets it hang too short or very long. A properly worn neck tie is one that will graze the top of a man's pants to cover the pants buttons. While tying the neck tie up on the chest or belly is too high and covering the pants zipper is very short.
Label of the neck tie
Many of the men tuck the narrow part of the tie into the label sewn at the back of the wide part which is not the right way. This is because the label is not there to be used as such and ties suppose to have some natural movement.
Knot of the neck tie
A wimpy or narrow knot is a big mistake because it is preferable to tie strong Double Windsor where the wide end of the neck tie is tied over the narrow end. This gives a fuller knot and a much better look.
Dimples on the neck tie
Dimples never look good upon any neck tie but it doesn't matters how many dimples are there as long as these are centered in the middle of the knot.
These are some solutions that will let you and every man wear the neck tie in the best possible manner and look or feel great wherever he goes.
Tips to properly untie your necktie
If you have got into the habit of wearing a neck tie on a regular basis then you shall notice that somehow it seems to “wear off” a little bit. It may be due to improper care or things that are beyond your reach for example, getting food or beverages spilled upon your favorite tie.
Being a beginner when you had learned to tie a neck tie and you have got that first knot done right you may never have thought about untying the tie at the end of the day. You may probably prefer to make the loop large enough to pull your head out and hang the tied tie on a clothes hanger or over the back of the chair.
However, it is the most damaging thing to do with your neck tie. Rather you should properly untie your tie. If you pay a little attention and perform the opposite steps that you followed to tie the tie you shall definitely save your favorite tie and the money to spend on new ties each couple of days.
It also happens that when you untie your tie which is made up of thick and heavy silk shall have wrinkles that look very worn and used. To get rid of such problem you should wrap the tie around your hand and put it into a table or drawer and let it rest for a while. Follow the steps given below:
1. Hold the narrow end of your tie with your thumb while letting the wide end hang down to the floor.
2. Wrap the wide end around your hand several times.
3. Take the wrapped up tie and place it on a flat surface.
In order to treat tie stains that sometimes permanently ruin your tie, applying stain removers shall make things worse. For this, you should take your favorite silk tie to the dry cleaner and ask for help.
