Skinny ties are a challenge to many men. This is surprising because there is really no special trick to wearing them. Generally speaking, all you need to do is to match the tie with the rest of the outfit. One of the biggest problems many people encounter is that they tend to make the tie stand out too much. It also does not help if you put the tie on with a baggy suit. That said here are three tips to help you wear your skinny tie properly. You need to bear them in mind as you shop for your tie.
Matching the tie and your outfit
Before you can step out with your skinny tie, be sure that it matches with the shirt you are wearing. As a rule of thumb, wear skinny ties with slim-cut suits. It is classier if the suit has a narrow lapel. If you prefer a dress shirt, make sure that it has a slim collar. While at it, be sure to match the scale of the tie and the rest of the shirt and suit.
Matching the tie and your body type
A tie that is flattering to one person can make another look like a clown. As you go shopping, make sure that your picks fit your body type. For example, you can pair a skinny tie with a slim suit and a classic shirt to compliment a thin frame. Someone with a tall height and a build would overwhelm the same tie and suit, worn that way.
Matching the tie and the occasion
A skinny tie is very relaxed and very fashion forward and so it suits a casual event. If you work in a relaxed environment like in a creative advertising agency, this tie may work. Otherwise, do due diligence.
Skinny ties look excellent if you pull them off. They give you an air of adventure and confidence. However, a failed attempt can prove disastrous so make sure you know what you are doing before stepping out.
