How to tie and wear a thin tie: patterns for beginners and those who are looking for complex, beautiful knots

A thin tie is most suitable for young, thin, tall men. If you choose the right knot and shirt, such an accessory will look stylish both for a business suit and for a knitted cardigan. There are female options for wearing. The classic “Quarter” knot, combined with a strict blouse and a narrow skirt, emphasizes the status of a business woman. A “herring”, tied with a bow on the collar of a pleated dress, gives a romantic image.

Features of wearing a "herring"

A perfectly tied narrow tie fits snugly against the collar, but does not pull the fabric. An exception is the loose knots in the casual style, which allow you to weaken the base to the maximum, creating the effect of negligence.

When choosing a narrow tie, keep in mind that:

• the width of the accessory should correspond to the width of the lapels of the jacket;
• "Herring" is often light, and requires mandatory clamping;
• the clip is attached between the third and fourth buttons of the shirt;
• large cufflinks, watches and chains are not worn with a narrow tie;
• the tie will “sparkle” in a new fashion in a company with a matching pocket square;
• ties are stored by opening knots.

The choice of color and complexity of the site

If the accessory is sewn from thin fabric, it is better to choose a straight knot, for example, “Quarter”. Otherwise, folds and dimples may form at the base, which will look untidy. For complex multi-layer designs, choose plain fabrics with a restrained pattern, so as not to distract attention to a large bright print.

Tieing a man’s narrow tie is beautifully not so difficult if you practice. It is important to observe a few more rules. Fix the accessory on the neck so that its long end reaches the level of the trouser belt. Short men are better off choosing complex options for nodes. Moreover, the more intricate the node, the longer the model is desirable to choose, since you have to do two, three or more revolutions.
