Considering the various types of ties available in the market as well as the varied designs and rapidly changing fashions, choosing the correct tie from the shop could be a daunting task. If you are fanatical about style, then a silk tie would be the tie for you. This material, while having the most superior aesthetics is also easy to maintain, besides being long lasting. Having a characteristic sheen, silk ties are a ‘must have’ if most of the suits in your closet have shiny lapels. Silk ties come in two varieties - printed and woven. Printed silk ties have a flat and smooth finish, while woven silk ties have relief patterns across them. A cheaper option to silk is satin. The sheen exuded by satin ties is almost similar to silk ties and these ties are just as versatile. Another popular material chosen for ties is polyester. Being easy to clean and coming in an array of designs and colors, polyester ties are applicable for both formal and informal occasions. Cotton ties are extremely comfortable. However, these ties being susceptible to crinkling may require frequent ironing.

Another parameter of consideration is the color and design of the Belisi tie. A safe bet would be to invest in varied types of ties as different occasions demand different ties. You would, of course, not wear for a funeral the tie you normally don for weddings. While a joyous event would require a loud and colorful tie, a relatively more serious occasion would necessitate a sober colored tie. For a day at the office, you would never go wrong with a striped tie. Therefore, buying a judicious mix of plain and solid ties, striped ties and dotted ties would get you ‘ready to go’ for any outing. Also, for formal occasions, a tie could be coupled with a matching pocket square to add a touch of panache.

One of the paramount concerns to be kept in mind when buying a tie, other than the material and the looks is the lining of the tie. It is the lining that is responsible for the way the tie falls across the chest of the user. The lining also renders the tie with a fuller look. Woolen linings are reputed to be the best. A slightly heavier tie ensures that the tie stays in place. However, there should be a judicious balance between weight and bulkiness. A thicker tie generally results in a larger and more unwieldy knot. Yet another addition to the neatness of the tie is the tipping, which should extend till the ‘tip’ of the tie.

It is advisable to examine the slipstitch of the tie prior to buying the tie. The slipstitch is a loose stitching that is seen at the rear of the tie, joining the two flaps of the tie material. This stitch was meant to render the tie with added strength.

Depending on your height and built, a normal length tie would suffice. However, if you happen to be excessively tall, a longer tie would be more apt as a shorter one may look awkward. The length of a normal tie is around 45 inches.
