Autumn

The Autumn man needs richness in the colours of his ties. Often he has no cheek colour, and he depends upon that tie to brighten his face. Most Autumns look excellent in patterned ties, especially rich paisleys. Checks or plaids are great as well, particularly in combination with Autumn’s tweeds and herringbones. Irregular stripes are also good, though ties with evenly spaced stripes of equal width may be too contrived and controlled for an Autumn man. Polka dots may also be too formal for you. Patterned ties are fine in almost any pattern as long as the scale suits your face and body size. Sporty club ties are good for Autumns.

Spring

Springs, like Winters, depend on clear colours, so their ties should never look dull or washed out. The Spring man wears solids well, usually in ties with a matt (non- shiny) finish. The best prints for Springs are casual, subtle plaids, widish stripes with medium contrast, and almost any foulard pattern. Severe stripes are too sharp for most Spring men, and polka dots are usually too formal. Sporty club motifs are good for Springs. A paisley will work only if it is carefully chosen in your colours. In general, it is not Spring’s best look. Most geometrics are too severe for Springs.

The Basic Knot

The basic knot is a longish knot and is proportioned for the button-down collar or the standard collar of average spread. Because this knot gives a longer finished tie, it is excellent for the tall man who needs a little more length.

Place the wide end of the tie on your right so it hangs about 30 cm (12 in) longer than the narrow end.

Wrap the long end around the short end and then behind, finishing on the right.

1. Continue to cross long end over short end, finishing on the left.
2. Pull long end through loop from the back.
3. Slip point through front of knot and tighten.

While pulling down short end with one hand, use other hand to slide knot up snugly.

The Half Windsor

The half Windsor is more triangular and is also proportioned for the standard collar.

Place the wide end of the tie on your right so it hangs about 30 cm (12 in) longer than the narrow end.

1. Wrap the long end behind the short end, finishing on the right.
2. Thread long end through loop and pull down to the left.

4. Cross long end over knot.

1. Pull long end through loop from the back.

Slip point through front of knot and tighten. While pulling down short end with one hand, use other hand to slide knot up snugly.

The Windsor

The Windsor knot is wide and triangular and is specifically for any shirt collar with a widish spread.

Place the wide end of the tie on your right so it hangs about 30 cm (12 in) longer than the narrow end.

1. Cross the long end over the short end and pull up through loop from the back.
2. Bring long end down and wrap behind short end, finishing on the right.
3. Thread long end through loop, then pull down and wrap across front of knot.
4. Thread through loop again.
5. Slip point through front of knot and tighten. While pulling down short end with one hand, use other hand to slide knot up snugly.

The Bow Tie

Wearing the bow tie is a matter of personal choice. But in all but formal attire, it is less serious or businesslike. The same thought and care should be given to the selection of its colour, pattern, and fabric as for the standard tie. Avoid clip-ons, even with a dinner jacket.

If you are going to wear a bow tie, here’s a simple way of making a neat bow.

1. Pull left end to extend 4 cm (1¹/2 in) below right end.
2. Cross long end over short end and pull up through loop from the back. Pull tight.
3. Fold short end to form front loop of bow.
4. While securing front loop with left hand, pull long end down across loop centre.
5. Loop long end around right forefinger toward chest.
6. Push new loop through knot behind first loop. Pull tight and adjust evenly.

Now read on to find out the best ways to successfully put your coat, shirt, and tie together. Although each is important separately, your overall image depends on how well you combine them.
