4 Reasons You Should Wear a Tie

Over the past century, the necktie has oscillated from being an obligatory career and fashion staple for men to a trendy, but optional style accessory, and today’s athleisure-embracing attitudes seem to favor casualwear over rigid dress codes, even at work. So, you’re probably asking yourself: why wear a tie? While the necktie has yet to make a Mad Men era type renaissance, there are many reasons why the sophisticated gentleman still chooses to wear a tie in an increasingly open-necked culture.

Wearing a tie makes you look sharp and classy

People continue to wear ties at the most formal and photographed events of their lives such as weddings, anniversaries, and office parties. A carefully selected necktie elevates your style, making you look sharp and appear important. In addition, ties, especially those of the skinnier variety, make you look taller by drawing the eye up and down the body, giving the illusion of a more elongated torso.

Bring some class and creativity to your outfit with this one-of-a-kind Piattelli Collection necktie and pocket handkerchief set. Made out of 100% pure woven silk, this elegant set features a unique diamond design, giving it the perfect balance of both exclusiveness and style.

Wearing a tie shows respect and professionalism

Donning a necktie, especially when it’s not mandatory, indicates that you hold yourself to a higher standard, that you don’t strive to meet expectations, but aim to exceed them. For instance, wearing a tie to a job interview when a simple dress shirt and pants would do tells your potential employer that you value looking professional and that you will go the extra mile to show that the job and the company matter to you.

If you’re not sure how to pair your shirt and ties, our expertly coordinated shirt, tie, and handkerchief sets take the guesswork out of the equation and save you time. Some of our sets, such as this Tessori collar shirt, tie, and hanky set even include the cufflinks for free!

Wearing a tie exudes confidence and commands respect

There is nothing more attractive than a confident man, and a tie oozes confidence. When you sport a tie, not only do you look great, but you also feel great. You’re telling the world that you’re not afraid to be bold, and that self-confidence becomes apparent in all aspects of your life.
