Types and models
Elastic ties come in a wide variety of shapes, colors and sizes.But still, all of them can be divided into two main groups - wide and narrow. It is very important to consider the size of the lapels of a shirt or jacket (their width) when choosing the width of a tie. Also, when choosing it, one should take into account the complexion of a person - it is better for larger men to choose wide models of a tie, for thinner ones, narrow ties are perfect.
In order for the tie not to be short, it is also necessary to correctly determine its length, it is enough not to forget a simple rule: the end of the tie should cover the buckle of the trousers belt.
If you are choosing a tie for a business style, then it is best to focus on dark shades, and the presence of small stripes or pale peas is quite acceptable as a pattern. There is also just a rule that should be followed when choosing the color of a tie - its shade should be a little darker than the color of the shirt, and a little lighter than the color of the suit. Multi-coloured ties are best paired with plain shirts in neutral colors.
Material selection
For the manufacture of ties, silk, satin, woolen and jacquard materials are often used.
Some models are sewn using synthetic materials. However, it is better to refuse them, especially if you choose a children's school tie for a boy. Although these ties are cheaper, their appearance is significantly inferior to products made from quality materials.

When choosing a tie, you must also consider the season.For example, a tie made of silk or satin will go well with spring or summer suits, while ties made of woolen materials are suitable for warm winter outfits.
