What is the width of your ties?Updated 2 months ago
Choosing the perfect tie involves understanding the importance of width, length, and how they fit your proportions.
Tie Widths: Balance and Proportion
- Body Frame: A narrower tie (8 cm) suits slimmer builds or modern styles, while a wider tie (9 cm) works best for broader frames or more traditional looks. Our standard tie width is 8.5cm and our long size tie width is 9.0cm.
- Lapel Width: Match your tie width to your jacket’s lapels. Wider lapels pair well with broader ties, while slim lapels call for narrower ties.
- Occasion: Wider ties are more formal, while narrower ties work well for business-casual or contemporary looks.
Tie Lengths: Getting the Right Fit
- Standard Length (57–58 inches): Ideal for men of average height (5'8" to 6'2"), with the tie ending at the top of the belt buckle.
- Taller Men (Over 6'2"): Opt for a longer tie (60 inches or more) to ensure proper fit.
- Shorter Men (Under 5'8"): Choose ties around 55–56 inches to avoid extra fabric.
Final Tips
- Suit Proportions: Slim-fit suits work with narrow ties, while traditional suits pair well with wider ties.
- Occasion: Formal events call for wider ties, while casual or business settings suit narrower options.
