Dress Down the Get-Up

I love wearing ties. It's a clear and simple part of me. A tie may not for every occasion, however, there are a few great ways to make a tie suitable for simply going out for a typical meal, hanging out with friends, or date night. This post is based off of a few posts I've read from either blogs or full websites, and I decided to take these concepts and spin them my own way.

My Personal Preferences:
Oxford Shirts (Worn in Every Photo)

Slim Ties (Knit Included and a Huge Plus)
From Left to Right: Club Room, Countess Mara, J. Crew

Rolled Cuffs (Season and Weather Permitting)

 Unbuttoned Top Button








The Looks:
Traditional: whoopie, though can never be screwed up too bad if proportions are correct.

Monsieur Slop: This one is easy to screw up and end up looking straight-up disorganized. Don't play with fire if you're gonna get burnt.

Tricky Tuck: I like this one, however, most people seem to dispute my opinion, proceed with caution.

Tie-talion Twist: My personal favorite, just twist that knot a little bit and you have yourself a game-breaker.

Service Special: Whether you're a server or a bank teller, this has your name written all over it. Good method to prevent your tip from getting wet.
