The Cocktail Party For these occasions, staying with the black motif is the best option. Most likely, black suits and white shirts will be the norm. Black suits are traditionally night-time suits and blue or black will set you apart in an unattractive suit. Since black is the typical for men at cocktail parties it is important to stay within the limits of the black suit because a deviation makes you less approachable. However, you can showcase your individuality through your necktie. If you’re more conservative, try our (Black Tie). This tie looks like a solid color from afar, but closer looks reveal a paisley motif, adding interest to your outfit. If you’re into more colorful alternatives, try adding style through stripes and contrast such as found in our (Red Striped). Either the full Windsor (link) or the four in hand (link) are the best knots to wear as the convey originality and fashion.
The job Interview Conservative is key here. Since first impressions are especially important, your interviewer’s style is more important than yours. And since you can’t ever be completely sure about their tastes, conservative decisions are most important. We would recommend a solid color tie that won’t distract or disenchant the interviewer from appreciating your true skills. Try the (Gold Tie) which is easy to look at and definitely fashionable. This tie will compliment most skin complexions and convey competence. The Half Windsor (link to tutorial) is the best option to fasten the tie as it is an elegant but moderate knot.
The Wedding This is an especially important occasion. Whether you’re the groom or just a plus-one trying to impress your girlfriend’s family, you need to look your best. Typically, you should match the color of your necktie to your dates dress for the photography. A common misconception is to match the colors of the wedding, which should only be reserved for the wedding party. If you aren’t in the wedding party, match your date’s dress lest you be confused as the waiter or a piece of furniture. Luckily, loopties offers a variety of colors and patterns to make you look your best. While you may not be able to pick the color, our store offers different designs in different necktie styles such as (link to sevenfolds) and (link to skinny ties) to display your individuality. The sevenfolds are a premium necktie perfect for this occasion.
The First Date Your personality is most important here. While black suits are more fashionable, if you have a favorite blue or brown suite that makes you feel especially good then wear it. Loopties has many ties that would look great with it. Usually, you will want to wear a shirt that is lighter than the suit but a necktie that is darker than the shirt. We have many different styles and patterns sure to fit your personality. We have tutorials for the most popular knots for you to get acquainted with. The Negotiation Because of the delicate nature of negotiations, you need to have a carefully designed image that conveys a put together personality and a no nonsense candor. The traditional power tie is red. Red is a powerful and alarming color that if worn correctly can intimidate and impress your potential business partners. We have a red tie that has a stripe of white (link) for individuality. If you’re in particularly fragile and important negotiations, we offer the necktie in a sevenfold which is sure to give you the confidence you need and even astonish or unsettle your opponent.
