Shopping For The Perfect Necktie For Sale

By Rosella Campbell


Locating and selecting clothing accessories doesn't have to be a challenge. Finding the perfect necktie for sale can make your ensemble pop, especially if it is for a special event. The original purpose of these accessories was to cover shirt buttons but now these items have become fashion statements in the male fashion world.

Look for quality fabrics when shopping for this item. Be aware that many of these clothing articles are quickly and poorly constructed. Examining it thoroughly before purchase can ensure a quality buy. Always check the lining to be sure it is of a good fabric. The stitching should also allow the tie to hang correctly. If you are buying a silk tie, run your hand over it to be sure it is smooth to the touch; an inferior product will be rough.

It is always a good idea to try the tie on before purchase to check the length and how it looks on you. Larger and taller men may need a longer tie that can be found at tall and big shops. Tie width is usually about three inches but some suggest that it be approximately the same as the width of the jacket lapel. Larger individuals can easily wear a wider tie while slim gentlemen can wear a narrower tie.

The selection of color and texture is a personal one. A writer in a tweed jacket may prefer a rough, wool tie while a casual groom may prefer a thin, silk style. A blue collar worker may select a plain, dark color that he can use for other occasions such as weddings and funerals. It is important that the individual be comfortable with his accessory choice and that it suits the environment it is to be worn in and his personality.

If possible, be sure to try the accessory with the suit and shirt it is intended to be worn with. At the shop, it may be the perfect choice but once it is places against the fabrics of the clothing, it may not be the best purchase. There are some fashion enthusiasts who say that the best way to match a tie is for it to have the same colors as both the shirt and suit plus one more shade to be effective.

Purchasing ties for special occasions can be a lot of fun. They also make wonderful gifts for the well-dressed men on your list. Choose a tie that suits their personality. For example, a staunch, serious businessman would probably not appreciate a Sponge Bob or Snoopy style but a quality, solid color one would probably suit him well.

Ties can also be purchased for specific schools, events, careers or locations. A restaurant manager would probably love a style with wine or food motifs. Texas Longhorn alumni or fans would appreciate an orange tie with the school logo. A golfer would proudly wear a tie with golf ball or club designs on it. A style from a gift shop in Las Vegas would make a wonderful souvenir.

Whether purchasing this accessory for yourself or as a gift, it can be quite a challenge to select the perfect one. You can always ask store personnel for suggestions or assistance. Sometimes the advice of an objective person can completely change your tie style or final choice.
