Proper Tie Length - Where should the necktie tip fall? Proper Tie Length

About this video

Centeno addresses whether the classic rule from John T. Molloy’s ‘Dress for Success’ about tie length still applies today. He explains that the tie tip should fall at the center of the belt buckle, with a half-inch variance acceptable in either direction, and discusses why proper tie length matters for overall appearance.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues the tie tip should fall at the center of the belt buckle, within a half-inch margin above or below
• Centeno notes that ties worn too short or too long appear sloppy and disrupt the visual line of the shirt
• Centeno recommends retying your tie two to three times if necessary to achieve the proper length, as getting it exact requires practice
