How and When Should You Wear a Tie?

Ties are an essential accessory in a man’s wardrobe. Neckties are decorative fashionable accessories that can add an exceptional level of elegance, formality, and personality to any look, no matter your personal style. However, the rules about style and formality in both workplace and social settings are frequently changing, so it can be difficult to know when you should and shouldn’t wear a tie. 

What should you wear a tie with? 

An important aspect regarding neckties begins with what you should be pairing them with. Dressier looks such as suits, and sport coats are choices that you can, and should be wearing a tie with. For effortless casual look, you can wear your tie with a bomber jacket, improving your look. If you are wearing a tie, it is important to always pair it with a jacket to complete your outfit and enhance your looks.

When should you wear your tie? 

Even as our society becomes more casual, there are many occasions when you should wear a decent tie, including: 

1. To the workplace with a formal dress code: Although many workplaces have forgone the formal shirt and tie expectation, business formal is still a rule in some offices, particularly in fields such as finance, law, or government. Business casual dress codes tend to lead more on the casual side; however, a tie can be appropriate given the right scenario.

2. To a special occasion at workplace: If there is no rule to wear a tie at workplace, consider bringing it out for particular situations, such as meetings with clients, or a presentation to your colleagues. A decent tie offers a subtle sign of respect and professionalism. 

3. To a fine dining restaurant: Going to a fine dining restaurant on a special occasion is a superb opportunity to dress up. Some fine dining establishments require you to wear a tie, so it is best to be prepared rather than getting turned away from the entrance. 

4. To a wedding: Weddings are the perfect time to dress up your designer suit with a tie. Keep your outfit simple and add a decent tie to add some flair to your look. If the dress code is ‘formal’, ‘cocktail outfit’, or ‘black tie’, it often calls for a superior suit and a tie. 

5. To a funeral: To show respect to the deceased and their loved ones, a dark suit, paired with a plain white shirt, and a dark tie is the right choice.
