The Best Men's Ties & How To Wear/Match Them To Your Outfit, Height and Body Type

About this video

Weston teaches men how to select ties that complement their overall outfit by matching tie colors to existing wardrobe pieces, choosing appropriate materials and widths, and tying the correct knot. She covers essential tie colors, patterns, and sizing guidelines based on height and body type to maintain proper proportions.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues that tie color should match at least one other color in your outfit—such as your suit, dress shoes, or jeans—using a simple matching rule that works for any situation
• Weston recommends choosing textured silk ties as the primary material for year-round wear, and advises against smooth satin finishes except for black-tie occasions
• Weston emphasizes that tie width should be selected based on height and body type to maintain balanced proportions: 2 inches for those under 5'8" and thin, 2.5 inches for average builds 5'8"-6'3", and 3 inches for broad builds or those over 6'3"
• Weston recommends the half-Windsor knot over the four-in-hand or full-Windsor, arguing it creates better proportions and a more polished appearance
