Who said that a man's outfit is easy to make, certainly did not try to match his tie to his shirt! This is one of the most difficult aspects of the masculine fashion, but a good choice attracts the success of an impeccable outfit. In this process, it is important to consider some aspects such as: colour, prints, material and, of course, the silhouette of the one who wants a perfectly elegant look.

To make your decision easier, we've prepared for you some good tips to follow when you choose the perfect tie.

Your silhouette requires a special tie!

Body proportions are the basic elements that we need to consider when creating an outfit. So why wouldn’t you take this into account when choosing your tie? If you have an athletic shape, opt for slim ties, while a massive conformation is better looking alongside wide ties. Also, your height should determine the length of the tie! To be sure it is right for you, keen in mind that the tip of the tie needs to touch the belt`s buckle.

"The chromatic challenge"

The first aspect you have to keep in mind is choosing the right colours according to your skin tone. Of course, this applies to any piece of clothing, including the tie that is part of a whole outfit. As for the colour of the complex tie - shirt, you can follow two simple steps to avoid making mistakes: you either choose a tie with a colour that is also found on the shirt or you opt for a light and enjoyable contrast. And do not forget! A white shirt will never put you in a difficult position in choosing the ideal tie.

Streaks, polka dot, check pattern and other prints

As all of these are based on colours, you can opt for the easy way by choosing a single-colour shirt and a tie with different prints. If, however, you want something more courageous and original, mix the prints of these two items. It may seem a real challenge, but "more is more" also applies to elegant male outfit! Play and combine the check pattern of the shirt with the streaks of the tie or, why not, a streaky shirt with a polka dot tie. The trick you have to apply is the chromatic one: make sure to find one common colour in the two elements and respect the colours` matching.

The fabric counts a lot!

A final aspect to keep in mind is the fabric which the tie is made from. Opt for similar items if you want your outfit to be harmonious. For example, a warm wool tie does not look good next to a light cotton shirt, nor does cashmere with silk.
