Apart from being an ornament, neckties are also the soul of a suit. They are mainly worn in formal events where the dress code is often suits and shirts. However, the type of tie to be worn depends on the actual event since different occasions dictate different modes of dressing. It would be very awkward if you turn up to an event with a clashing suit and tie.

These days most suit colors are black, blue, brown, gray or dark gray. This fact forces designers to come up with ties whose colors can match with the prevailing suit colors. Therefore the most common tie colors that you can find in the market today include purple, dark red, coffee brown and several other colors which are preferably warm.

In order for an individual to properly match a tie and his suit, he must first know the set of colors that cannot clash. In general, bright suits go well with dark ties while dull suits are often worn with brighter neckties. Also, the material from which your tie is made from must be factored in when matching. Some materials can prove to be very shiny and hence not convenient when worn with certain suits.

One thing that is duly considered when making neckties is the width. The width of all ties should be proportional to the shirt or suit collar. Shirts which have large and pointed collars should not be worn with narrow ties. Also, wide ties must not be worn with small collar suits.

The most basic tip about wearing ties is that you must ensure that their colors do not clash with those of your suit. For instance, if you intend to put on bright colors to an official function, then you must consider putting on a dull tie. Too much bright colors usually attract a lot of attention which is sometimes not necessarily and this is lessened by having a dark tie.

Whether the colors on shirts, suits and neckties match is also another thing to pay attention on. It is known that the three items must not constitute more than three colors for them to easily match. For example, if your choice for a suit is navy then a blue shirt and an azure tie can come in handy.

In most cases beige colored suits go well with brown, red or any other set of colors that are considered warm. Also, navy blue suits combine well with ties which have cool colors like gray with pink shirts. Essentially, the point is to ensure that not everything is bright or dark at the same time.

Tying of neckties can prove to be a challenge when you are doing it for the first time. However, there are some tricks that can be very helpful in achieving this task. When tying your necktie, first button your shirt and hang your tie outside the collar then press its wider end below the collar before pulling the other end. At this point your tie would be caught at the center of your collar which is the exact position that it should be in.
