The Right Tie Length

BY KEITH KIRSNER
How many times do you have to tie that knot before you get it to the perfect length? The Italian tie is known to be a few inches longer than the average tie. Giorgio Armani, the Italian fashion designer, makes long ties because many Italians like to wear a big knot, which may involve a few extra loops. Make sure you get it right. Having a tie too short with the back of the tie coming lower than the front will make you look like a clown. And having a tie come way down, past your waistline will make you look nothing less than foolish. Try the full Windsor knot. It takes a few extra steps than the average knot, but it will give you enough room in the fabric to make your tie length perfect for you. Below is an instructional video I found on youtube that explains how to do it yourself. I apologize in advance for the lame music and sound effects. Give yourself enough time to get it just right. Practice makes perfect.
