How to wear it
- The tip of your tie should fall precisely at or just over your belt — neither above nor below.
- Match the width to your lapels: a narrow tie of 6 to 7 cm for narrow lapels, 8 to 9 cm for classic lapels.
- Choose your knot to suit your collar: a small knot for a narrow point collar, a fuller knot for a wide cutaway collar.
- A dimple just below the knot gives your tie depth: press it in with your index finger as you tighten the knot.
Do's
- Always button the top button of your shirt when wearing a tie.
- Choose a tie that is darker than your shirt.
- Combine patterns at different scales: a fine stripe with a large check.
- Untie your tie the same way you tied it after wearing and hang it up: this keeps the fabric looking its best.
Don'ts
- Never wear a tie that sits above your belt or hangs far below it.
- Don't let the narrow end show below the wide end: tuck it through the loop on the back.
- Avoid a glossy silk tie with tweed or flannel; choose wool, knit or grenadine instead.
- Never wear a tie and pocket square in exactly the same fabric and print — let them complement each other, not match.
How to tie it
Four-in-hand knot
Slim and slightly asymmetrical. Works with almost any collar and is the easiest to tie.
- Drape the tie around your neck, wide end on the right and about 30 cm lower than the narrow end.
- Cross the wide end over the narrow end to the left.
- Bring the wide end back underneath to the right.
- Cross it once more over the front to the left.
- Pull the wide end up through the loop at your neck from underneath.
- Thread it down through the front loop and slide the knot up to tighten.
Half Windsor
Fuller and symmetrical. Perfect with a wider collar and for a wedding or business suit.
- Drape the tie around your neck, wide end on the right and about 30 cm lower than the narrow end.
- Cross the wide end over the narrow end to the left.
- Bring the wide end back behind the narrow end to the right.
- Pull it up and through the loop at your neck from above, then down.
- Drape the wide end across the front from right to left.
- Pull it up through the loop at your neck from below again.
- Thread it through the knot at the front and gently tighten everything.

Material

100% Silk
Silk is spun from the cocoons of the silkworm. The fibre is strong, light and has a natural lustre that gives depth to colours. That's why silk is the go-to choice for ties, bow ties and pocket squares.
