Okay
I know most men don't like wearing neckties and bows except during desperate times (job interviews
meeting your girlfriend's folks
your wedding). But admit it
neckties and bows add a certain elegant appeal to your get up. Sometimes
you even catch yourself saying
Bond.. James Bond
. Though ties make you think that your girlfriend is a sadist (Hon
you look dashing when you can't breathe..)
you have to admit that she's right. You do look good in ties. Besides
it's not so bad since there are many tie styles to choose from. Aside from making you choke and look good
ties also offer a subtle way to change your look. Though learning how to choose good tie material is important
learning which tie style looks best with a certain shirt or proper occasion is key.

Nowadays
there are four tie styles commonly in use. There is the four-in-hand
half-Windsor
Windsor and Pratt knot. The three mentioned first are the classic knots. They have been choking
I mean adorning men's necks years and decades before. Pratt knot is a recent tie style having been around only since 1989. Of course
talking about tie styles are not complete unless we talk about the disadvantages and advantages of these styles of neckties and bows. The four-in-hand style is the best style for those only starting to wear ties. For one
they are easily mastered and suit almost all occasion. However
they are suited best for shirts with narrow collars since they are asymetric and would look sloppy with wide collars. Half windsor style knot is more difficult to tie. They do suit most occasions and shirt styles because of their symmetry and formal look. Windsor knots are best for formal occasions. This is a wide tie style and is best for shirts with white collars. Conversely
they would look over the top and improper with narrow collars. The more modern Pratt knott is the most versatile tie style. This is not too wide nor narrow and suits every shirt style. It can also be used for occasions. Plus
it also gives you a neat and polished look without sacrificing a relaxed vibe. However
for more formal occasions (weddings
high society affairs) a bow tie is preferred.

Quit whining when presented with neckties and bows. With a variety of styles to choose from
you could always choose the one you're most comfortable with. You'll feel good
fashionable
and most of all distinguished. After all
it is better to feel choked than look and appear sloppy.
