Ties for Bespoke Suit: How to Choose & Wear Them

A wrong or right kind of tie for your bespoke suit makes a whole lot difference in your appearance. A tie could either make or break your overall aim of getting that elegant and well-polished look. 

First of all, in choosing neckties that would complement your elegant and impeccable custom suits and shirts, there are three main things that you should take into consideration: the quality, the material and the design of the tie. 

One of the classic choices in neck ties and something that greatly could add fashion flair and finesse to a bespoke suit are 100 percent silk ties. Another great but uncommon tie selection is the wool knit tie. This is a wonderful choice because it is something that you do not see often in men. 

Other types of tie fabric materials include the cashmere knit ties, which can be more expensive than silk ties, the polyester tie, the satin tie, and rayon tie. The last one is considered by many as the most durable since it is machine washable. 

If you have to wear a tie, like what every man should so especially in the business world, make sure that you know how to wear it properly. Try not to make the classic mistake of many men of wearing it either too long or too short. 

As a general rule, the tie length in a properly fitted knot (i.e. a Windsor knot) should at least graze your belt buckle, or if you do not have a belt, your waist pants. Usually, tall men should go for longer ties, but to really make sure that you are getting the proper tie for your bespoke suit, there is no other way to know for sure but to tie it on for size.

Not many men have realized this, but the shape of your face should also be taken into account in purchasing a tie. Indeed, there is an art in tie selection, but it is really up to you to subscribe to it or not because, truth to tell, this is not really a hard and fast rule. However, if you just wanted to enhance a physical feature or perhaps play down one physical flaw, you can follow this advice. Stripe ties are great for strong and angular face. Meanwhile, dotted and paisley printed ties look good on round or baby face. Solid colors, on the other hand, can be worn by everyone. 

Indeed a necktie may be just a small piece of cloth that makes up your bespoke suit ensemble; however, it plays a huge factor in determining your overall impeccable appearance. So choose well and wear it properly, you’ll never know when you are being judged by your tie.
