Tips To The Groom: Getting Your Knot Right
The Tie although it is a small bit of the groom’s total outfit actually makes the outfit. The groom’s suit is not complete without a tie be it a bowtie, long tie, cravat or an ascot, depending on the suit’s fashion. If all you know is the same old traditional tie, you cant knot a bow tie, or are wondering what the heck an ascot is, this is for you.
On the market are hundreds of stylish colors and designs that fit well with all of today’s weddings. The best way to locate a tie that best meets your needs is to search by the color
If you see a tie that you like, buying it as soon as possible is highly recommended seeing that the more popular colors and styles sell out fast
The English tie
Some prefer to call it a thin tie. English ties are a staple nowadays for every trendy man. It is generally no difference than a regular necktie, except that it is slim
A bowtie
The classic tuxedo is worn with a bowtie, a black one, to be precise.
Cravats and Ascot
These are very similar with very slight difference. Ascots are in fashion and are a great change from the bowties. Ascots look best with vests and positively amazing with long jackets.
Matching your Colors:
Your tie color will likely be dictated by the colors your bride and her bridesmaids will be wearing. If the maids are wearing red dresses, your bride may want you and your groom’s men to wear matching ties
In most cases the tie matches with the shirt first before with anything else. If the tie has more than one color at least one of them should match the shirt
Sometimes the colors are not the same which brings a little bit of contrast but make sure the colors don’t clash.
