The time has come to finally deal with this issue and fill the gaps in knowledge of etiquette.
Acquisition
The question of how long a tie should be, many still have at the stage of purchase. Typically, in stores, these accessories are divided into children and adults. Border - age 14-15 years. If a young man has stepped over this line, then he should buy an adult tie and train in tying it already. If the seller finds it difficult to answer what length of tie should be most suitable for you, then for reference, you can take the length from the neck, from the location of the tie knot to the knee. If this condition is met, then you can not worry about the fact that its dimensions will suddenly be small. The standard length of this accessory ranges from 132 to 147 cm.

How long should a tie be after tying a knot?
If in the first case everything is quite simple, then there is no way to do without a long process of honing mastery. The general rule is: the length of the tie should be such that it barely touches the belt buckle. In this case, it is allowed that its angle slightly cover it, but no more. In order to tie a tie in accordance with this rule, you first need to decide on the type of knot that you want to tie at the moment. Each of them requires its initial position of the ends. If we add to this that the thickness of the tie affects how it will be pulled together in a knot, it becomes clear that the final length can vary markedly.
In some cases, its deviation can reach 2-5 cm, and therefore can not do without training. In order to make it easier to choose a reference point, a starting point, experts suggest using the following rule: the narrow end of the tie should be about three times shorter than the wide. In this case, it will be easier to guess its length when tying the knot. But first, you still have to spend time acquiring the necessary experience and motor skills. During training, achievement of the result will take up to a quarter of an hour. But if you persevere, it will soon be possible the first time to accurately determine the desired distance to the start of the knot and tie everything quickly and correctly.
