All about ties
The tie, in the form in which we know it now, appeared only in the middle of the 19th century. Before that, in history there are descriptions of accessories that vaguely resemble a tie, but they were more likely neckerchiefs. In 1827, Honoré de Balzac, in his book The Art of Wearing a Tie, described the necessity of wearing this piece of clothing.
The appearance of the tie was constantly changing, the fashion was now narrow, now wide, now long, now short styles, fashionable fabrics and patterns of the accessory changed.
Tie to business suit does not imply excessive pathos and originality. When choosing, it is better to give preference to traditional colors and ornaments, but pay special attention to quality.
Winter and summer ties differ in material density and colors. The denser and warmer the fabric, the less such a tie is suitable for a light summer suit. And vice versa - a thin silk tie does not look the best with a warm suit made of thick wool. In addition, ties for the autumn-winter period are more restrained in color than summer ones, where the spectrum of light and bright colors is much more diverse.
Red tie
This color symbolizes energy and self-confidence. Therefore, a red tie gives the impression of energy and competence. However, with an authoritarian character, a red tie should be used in dosage, because it can emphasize aggression and a tendency to dominate.
Burgundy tie color
The color of luxury and power. Use this color when you want to create a respectable look.
Pink tie color
Adds softness and hospitality to the image. Bright pink can be associated with frivolity and should therefore be avoided in a business environment.
Tie orange
Symbolizes energy, vitality and optimism. A tie of this color is appropriate in informal situations and suits mainly red-haired men.
Brown tie 
The color is soft, inspiring confidence and goodwill. But, sometimes brown can indicate a tendency to doubt, so if you have to defend your position, you should choose another color, for example, green.
Dark- green tie
Creates the impression of a stubborn person. The color has a calming effect. Use it in situations where heated discussions are coming, it will help defuse the situation.
Yellow tie
Personalizes scientific, thirst for knowledge and perseverance. Use this color when you want to give the impression of an open and friendly person.
Purple tie color
A color that evokes a sense of mystery. Dark purple is the color of individualists and arrogant people. Light purple is the color of melancholy.
Blue tie
This color evokes a sense of calm and serenity. It symbolizes confidence, stability and organization.
A light blue tie creates a dreamer look.
Tie gray 
The value of a gray color varies with its saturation. Light gray can cause feelings of boredom and melancholy. The color of wet asphalt gives solidity to the image, but it should be borne in mind that this shade is sometimes associated with modesty and indecision.
Choose the color of the tie according to your mood, and the shade of color in accordance with your natural color type and the integrity of the overall set of clothes.
The width of the tie is selected in accordance with the width of the lapels of the jacket. In a classic tie, the widest part is approximately 10-11 cm.
A narrow herring tie is worn either simply with a fitted shirt or with a jacket with narrow lapels.
In the classic style, the wide end of the tie should reach up to the belt buckle or cover it by no more than 1 cm. 
But, at the same time, in everyday sets, especially without a jacket, using the length of the tie, you can visually adjust the proportions of the figure. So, for example, if you are short and your legs are much shorter in proportion than your torso, then the tie can be made a little shorter so that it does not slightly reach the belt buckle. If you have very long legs, then the tie can be located just below the buckle, so you visually stretch the torso and the proportions will be more harmonious.
The narrow end of the tie should not hang freely; it must be fixed in a special loop on the back of the tie.
Choose a tie knot in accordance with the width and density of the tie. For example, a "Half Windsor" knot works well with a narrow tie, and a "Windsor" knot is better suited for a wide tie made of dense fabric.
Tie clips periodically come into fashion, then come out of it, however, there are rules for wearing them.
The tie clip should be positioned clearly between the third and fourth shirt buttons.
The clip should hold the tie to the shirt, not the front and back of the tie.
Do not wear a narrow clip with a wide tie.
A light solid color tie is best worn with a lighter shirt.
A tie of bright and rich colors made of light silk fabric is worn under a summer light suit.
A tie made of thick silk or woolen fabric will go well with a warm winter suit.
A solid-colored tie looks more interesting with a striped or checked shirt, while the color of the stripes (or checkers) should match the color of the tie.
A checkered tie can be combined with a checked shirt, but in this case, either on a tie or on a shirt, the cage should dominate (this rule also applies to striped patterns).
A fancy or floral tie is worn with plain shirts.
Dark colors and small patterns are perfect for everyday wear.

Choosing the right tie is a whole art that every man should master perfectly! If for some reason you do not know this art yet, then I am going to you this article especially for you!
So, today we are talking about how to choose a tie for a shirt.
Color combinations.
In the article I wrote about color combinations, today I will remind you about them, tk. matching a tie by color is a win-win option.
The color wheel is a visual aid to what colors can be combined and what not. It's very easy to use, just choose one of the principles below.
1) Opposite shades in a circle that are contrasting with each other. For example, red and green.
The image doesn't look boring;
- there is a risk of turning into a parrot.
2) "Adjacent" colors that complement each other. For example, blue and purple.
Safe and versatile combination;
- the tie can merge with the shirt, which does not look very nice.
However, matching colors is still half the battle. It is necessary to look in practice which combinations of shades will be the most successful. And remember that the tie should always be darker than the shirt.
Next, I'll show you how to choose a tie for a specific shirt color. Although in this manual I did not take into account the color of the jacket / suit, however, I want to say that if the suit is in neutral shades (dark gray, blue, etc.), there will be no special changes in the recommendations.
White shirts
White shirt is a versatile and basic wardrobe item that every man should have in his wardrobe. A white shirt is a very good match, no matter if it is a textured (knitted), checkered or striped tie. A white shirt will look good with any tie.
Light blue shirts
Suitable for blue shirts:
1) Dark ties with patterns (polka dots, stripes).
2) A tie of the opposite shade (orange, yellow, red), which in this case will be a color accent.
3) Additional (adjacent) color, for blue it is green. This combination will add sophistication to your look.
Pink shirts.
The same principle applies here, for a tie are suitable:
1) Similar colors. For pink, it's lilac and violet. Go for darker shades and you can't go wrong.
2) Contrasting colors. In this case, it's green. Also, blue can be used as an opposite, contrasting color.
Striped shirts.
Choosing a tie for a striped shirt is a little more difficult. There are a few rules here:
1) The strip works well with the strip, however they do not have to be the same size. If the shirt is in small stripes, then the tie should be large and vice versa.
2) The color of the tie (or one of its stripes) must match or be opposite to one of the stripes of the shirt. It may be difficult to imagine, but below, with examples, you will understand everything. For example, under a blue shirt with a pink stripe, the following tie shades are suitable: blue, red, dark green ties.
3) The stripe goes well with other geometric prints: polka dots, rhombuses, etc.
Checked shirts.
For plaid shirts, there are also certain subtleties of choosing a tie:
1) The tie should be either solid color or with a large pattern. The small print of the tie will simply be lost against the background of the shirt.
2) A cage can be combined with a cage, but as mentioned above, it should be larger on a tie than on a shirt.
3) Striped ties work well with a checked shirt. Choose a tie with large stripes that match the color of the shirt's check.

Good luck with your tie!
Some men pair shirts with ties badly. To be sure of this, look around, and you will find one or two proofs.
Very often, corporate suits have a rather boring and unremarkable look, so it is very important to be able to choose the right shirt and tie in order to somehow stand out from the crowd.
Getting creative with these combinations is one of the best ways to showcase your love of fashion and style in a formal setting, but you also need to be smart about it. After all, the colors and patterns on their own may look great, but when you start combining them, all the appeal may simply fade away.
With all that in mind, today we're bringing you a guide to pairing shirts and ties.
Color wheel
Even the most stylish men can be confused by the concept of color matching. Therefore, if you have problems with combining a shirt and tie, if you want to stand out in your suit from the crowd, then you will have to familiarize yourself with this concept once - and remember forever.
The color wheel shown above offers a visual representation of each shade and, more importantly, shows similar, complementary and contrasting colors to each one.
For example, red is opposite green, which means that these are complementary colors; purple and orange are located on either side of red, making the three colors similar; yellow and blue are located three sections from red, making these three colors contrasting. However, even armed with this knowledge, the right color combination is not an easy thing to do.
When it comes to shirt and tie, it's often easier to combine contrasting color pairs than complementary ones. For example, a blue shirt, burgundy (red is a contrasting color tone in relation to blue) tie and navy blue suit are one of those combinations that any man can make.
It is more difficult to combine complementary colors, since sometimes the human eye cannot pick up the difference in similar shades. Variations in shades are key here, such as combining a light blue shirt with an orange tie. In this matter, it is worth remembering the only rule - your tie should always be of a darker shade than your shirt.
Of course, the easiest and safest way is to combine ties in bright colors or with a pattern with a snow-white shirt - but this is not so interesting, will you agree? Experiment with color mixing and you can quickly find out what works and what doesn't. In the end, you will find some of the most successful combinations that you can wear every day.
Choosing a tie
Always buy nice ties. Beautiful are not necessarily expensive, the main thing is that they are created with taste. If you have terrible taste (and you know about it), then ask someone else to choose a tie for you.
Not sure which tie width is better - standard or narrower? As a general rule, the tie should be as close to the lapel of your jacket as possible.
Regular shirts
It is very important that in every man's wardrobe there are shirts of three basic colors - white, blue and pink.
Important Note: In this guide, we will be looking at all shirt and tie combinations regardless of the suit you choose. As mentioned earlier, white shirts can offer you the ultimate in versatility. It doesn't matter what color or pattern your tie has, you can pair it with a white shirt with almost no problem.
White shirt: bows
Blue / pink shirt: guidelines
Show off your color matching skills with a blue or pink shirt. Below you will find some of the best combinations for every taste.
Sky blue shirt:
Try pairing it with a darker tie or embossed pattern. Knit options or dark polka dot ties will do just fine.
Orange is a complimentary color, so an orange tie looks especially good with a sky blue shirt.
Yellow and red are contrasting shades, so a tie in burgundy / red leather or mustard / gold would look great on a shirt of that color.
Green, similar to blue. Try pairing a shirt with a dark forest green tie for a sophisticated look.
Pale pink shirt:
Similar colors are lilac and violet. Choose any of these, deep shades, and the look will be simply stunning.
Green is a complementary color, and matte khaki is a bold choice that will really make your bow stand out from the crowd.
Blue is a contrasting color and we argue that nothing looks better than a pink shirt with a navy blue tie, whether solid or patterned.
Blue / Pink Shirt: Bows
Example of combinations
Below you will find three ties that can be paired with a white (left column), blue (center column), and pale pink (right column) shirt:
Striped shirts
Printed shirts are a more interesting option. In this case, the standard rules for dress shirts apply, but since you also added a strip, then you need to approach the choice of a tie more carefully.
Ties in Block colors are always suitable here - no matter if they are contrasting or complementary shades. If you want a patterned tie, there is one key rule to keep in mind: always pay close attention to size / scale compatibility.
For example, pinstriped shirts should be worn with large-patterned ties, while thick-striped shirts are best paired with smaller, more complex ties.
The stripes on the shirts also go well with the stripes on the tie, as long as they are not the same size. For example, why not try a pinstripe shirt with a pinstripe tie? Try to match the stripes on the shirt and tie, and you will see how great they look together.
Another good tip is to combine stripes with different orientations. For example, a vertical striped shirt can be combined with a striped tie that runs horizontally or diagonally. This gives a clear contrast and helps to distinguish each element of the toilet.
Otherwise, you can opt for polka dots or geometric designs, which also go well with stripes. It all comes down to personal preference, so try other combinations and see which works best for your style.
Striped shirts paired with ties: bows
Checkered shirt
You might immediately think that the same rules should be followed when choosing ties for a plaid shirt as for matching ties for a striped shirt. But here you are wrong. While stripes require a larger or smaller pattern or stripe on a tie depending on their width, a plaid shirt always requires a larger pattern on a tie.
The exception to this is the "window panes" cage - it offers a lot more flexibility due to the fact that the dimensions are usually very large.
Gingham shirts are generally the most traditional dress code for the market, but at the same time, office workers may also be able to choose from this style.
If your plaid shirt has a classic base color, then when choosing a tie, follow the appropriate principles outlined above and choose a tie that is similar, contrasting or complementary. This will emphasize the main shade. For example, a navy blue tie looks great against a sky blue or pink plaid shirt.
Stripes also go very well with plaid shirts. Choose a tie with a large, bold stripe so that it can easily compete with the pattern on the shirt. Polka dots can also pair well if you follow the same principles.
Avoid more elaborate structures, as they are more likely to create an optical illusion for those taking a quick glance at your unfortunate shirt and tie combo.
