Therefore, it is very important to be able to choose the right tie in color, the type of fabric, and also tie it up properly, so that this accessory becomes not only an addition to the image, but also introduced its zest, charm.

Tying a tie around the neck of a beloved man, a woman inspires him to succeed and win, shows his care and love. The image should be harmonious. Therefore, you should carefully select the type of node, and there are an uncountable number. Each of the different nodes will be allowed at different events - business meeting, anniversary, party, etc.
But, whatever the reason for wearing a tie, whatever fashion was, and whatever the man loved, there is a classic rule of how to wear a tie, and it should not be violated.
This rule includes the following:
1. Ties with a picture are dressed only for monophonic shirts;
2. To the shirts in the cage or stripes are worn monogonal ties, and the color of the strip on the shirt must match the color of the tie;
3. If the suit and shirt are of dark shades, then the tie should be lighter (ideally - one tone);
4. If the costume is dark, and the shirt is light, then the tie is picked up in a dark suit;
5. If a man wears a black suit and a white shirt, then the tie must be light with a fine pattern;
6. A light suit and a dark shirt will best look in combination with a light tie in a suit's tone;

Issues of size.
To date, the width of 9 and 10.5 cm is considered the most fashionable width. But, as we already know from the last point of the rule, how to wear a tie: the width of the tie should be proportional to the width of the lapels and the size of the jacket, so do not talk about it forget.

In the case when a business suit is not necessary, and you can get by with a freer style, then give preference to bright, short ties 5-7 cm wide.
Color policy.
Everyone knows that for the summer clothes should be more light shades, and in winter, on the contrary - more dark and restrained. But the accessories do not fit into such a policy. Very many fashion designers offer in the winter to choose more bright colors of ties, and for the summer - restrained, light, pastel. Although, if in the choice of color democracy is permissible, then in the choice of material a complete monarchy. It is completely inappropriate to wear a tie in wool in the summer, and in the winter wear ties made of lighter fabrics. This rule should be followed.
We select the material and texture.
A very popular fabric for a tie is considered to be natural silk. Of course, in view of the high cost of this fabric, no less popular is its analogue - artificial silk. He is somewhat coarser than his natural counterpart, but at times cheaper. Also often used for ties are wool, cotton, cashmere, and their mixture with silk.
If we talk about the texture of a tie, then there is allowed a flight of fantasy. It can be like a completely straight canvas, without additions, or maybe an entire picture created with the help of a convex figure, or in other words, a jacquard. It is this texture for today at the peak of popularity. These ties are very advantageous with suits made of natural fabrics. Their neutral color emphasizes the basic color of the costume, and the texture with a soft stroke underlines the completeness and refinement of the image.
The tie also requires care.
To tie for many years pleased you and your suit, the following rule - the tie should be cherished, take care of him. The rules of care are extremely simple and will not take much time or effort:
1. When you take off a tie, then unfasten the knot carefully, and do not stretch it, otherwise it will be difficult to wrestle with wrinkles even by means of an iron;
2. Keep ties in suspend. If there is no space in the cupboard for this purpose, then use for this purpose an ordinary polished hanger;
3. If you drive, be very careful and do not allow the tie to come into contact with the seat belt;
4. It is better to wear expensive ties for more important meetings and events. For everyday workdays, choose more reserved neckties, as well as all accessories;
