Tie that suits you!

Angular Face

Ties for angular faces; Men with elongated, oblong faces with U-shaped chin, men with diamond-shaped faces with high cheekbones and pointed chin. Knot. A great knot is one that is not only in style, but also in proportion to your face. So, if you want to reduce the prominence of your long face, wear as wide a knot as you can, such as a Windsor, which is also referred to as a full Windsor or a double Windsor.

Round Face


Men with relatively short necks and full cheeks, men with cheekbones that are about as wide as your face is long. They must wear slimmer and longer tie knots, such as the four-in-hand, Christensen, or Plattsburgh. Occasionally a half Windsor will do, but avoid the full Windsor. It might make your face appear wider than you want it to. Also, avoid small knots such as the simple knot, which is also called a Kent knot or oriental knot, because it can get lost under a fuller face.

Oval Face

Men with faces that are longer than they are wider, men with cheekbones that are wider than the rest of your face.

Knot type- Generally, the broader the better. Use knots such as the Cavendish, the Saint Andrew, the Windsor, or the half Windsor. These will help keep things in proportion.

How long should be a tie?

The general rule of thumb is that your tie should fall at the top of your belt buckle, regardless of tie length, style of the tie, or how tall you are. The key is to look deliberate, like your tie was hand-selected for the outfit it goes with.
