Ties are a serious business here at Soren Custom. Whether you are dressing for a special occasion or a business meeting, your tie is what stands out the most and can create an impression.

So here are some DOs and DON’Ts to get you on the right track when choosing your tie:

DOs

  • Choose a tie that is darker than your shirt. No matter the colour. No exceptions.
  • Find colours that contrast your shirt. Matching is boring. You need to show off your style and make getting dressed fun.
  • Add a cool printed tie to a regular plain shirt to make the look more interesting.

DON’Ts

  • Mix patterns, unless the pattern of the tie is bigger and bolder in comparison. Your shirt is like the running back and your tie is the quarterback- it needs to be the centre of attention.
  • Mix the same stripes. The tie should have bigger stripes or stripes going in a different direction.
  • Skimp on quality. You do not have to spend a lot to get a nice tie that will make you look good longer.

With these tips in mind, remember that your style is all about showing off who you are. So be creative, experiment, and find what works for you.
