Tie Models: How to use + 60 amazing looks!

Every man should have at least one pair of ties in his wardrobe, as this piece can make all the difference in the look, from formal to casual.

The tie never goes out of style and will always be a trend in any boy's look. So, forget the talk that the accessory is exclusive to executives or for special occasions. You can always use it and look even more beautiful and charming.

Types and Names of Ties

Currently, there are 4 models of ties, each with its characteristics and peculiarities.

Standard

As the name suggests, the standard tie model is the traditional/standard one. It is wider and originally made of silk, ideal for a classic look and for all occasions. Guys of different ages and body types can use the standard without fear, it is very versatile and easy to match.

Where to use? In traditional events: such as weddings, ceremonies, graduation, among others.

 

slim

Slim tie models are in fashion and have fallen in love with young people. The name also says it all about this type: it has a thinner, modern and stripped cut. Indicated for skinny guys, since the chubby and strong ones get an unbalanced look with the slim tie, looking like a risk in the middle of the chest – many stylists do not recommend it.

Where to use? In relaxed situations and not necessarily with a shirt or suit. It can be combined with a plaid shirt, chino pants or jeans, among other alternative and daring looks.

Butterfly

Bow tie is also classic and well known, ideal for gala attire and special occasions. It is versatile and democratic, and as everything in fashion reinvents itself, many young people go further and use this type in their casual look. Some are very original, others with questionable taste, but it all depends on the combination.

Where to use? Chic environments and specific formal events.

straight edge

A lot of people are weird about a straight-edge tie. In fact, it is not popular, so it has been missing from the market for a long time. Currently, however, some stylists have brought this accessory back to the fore. Among its characteristics are the knitted fabric and the thin format, similar to the slim one.

It goes well with plain shirts, plaid shirts and a look that does not require the use of a suit. For the chubby ones, there are wider straight tie models, which match the biotype better.

Where to use? Work meeting, informal occasions.

How to Use and Combine Different Tie Models

A heart is considered the main point of a tie, what draws the most attention – pretty obvious, isn't it? Therefore, it is essential to have common sense when choosing the ideal tie tone for each occasion.

Another golden tip is about the texture, print and format. Overdoing it is never good, no matter how much you love bold looks. In the case of tie models, it is even more evident and leads to more mistakes than success.

Experts reveal that ties with excessive and disproportionate prints leave the look polluted and harm any look.

More tips for using and matching tie designs:

• The shirt should always be in a lighter shade than the tie. There are guys who don't care about that and make their own style, but then it's up to you to break the pattern or not, making your look beautiful.

• Try to leave the combination proportionate considering color, texture and pattern, both in a casual and alternative look as well as in a formal one.

• Plain white and blue shirt are key pieces that go well with virtually all tie models! When in doubt, choose these types.

Now, here are tips for each occasion:

• Marriage: Prefer classic ties with discreet colors. Pay attention to the invitation and, if in doubt, talk to the bride and groom.

• gala attire: The bow tie is always the alternative in these events. Don't try to dare and attract attention with modern types.

• Alternative and casual look: Bow tie in different textures, slim tie and even straight tie, depending on the occasion.

• Day to day and work: Discreet tie models. Dark and traditional colors are no mistake.

• dinners: If it's a business dinner, prefer something conservative and classic. Already with friends or romantic, vary in medium tones and even warm colors.
