Introduction
Why are you here? Well you're here because you want to know what there is to know about Men's Fashion (clothing). But I sadly cannot give all details and information with my limited time and resources, but I will give you the essential knowledge to wearing your best for formal events and informal occasions.Ties and Bow ties
Yes, this may seem abrupt in the guide, but a man should know what tie and bow tie to wear, when to wear it, and how to tie it, prior to putting on his shirt,vest and/or blazer. I will teach you how to tie a regular tie and a bow tie which are the most common ties in today's men fashion. Solid colored ties should be used for formal and anything else such as stripes, polka-dots and etc are generally casual. "Bow ties can be worn on both formal and informal occasions, day or evening, are correct with either single or double breasted jackets" (Flusser 163).
Regular Tie
"With respect to the necktie's ideal length, the general rule of thumb holds that its widest point just above its tip should coincide with the belt's upper edge" (Flusser 166).
Bow Tie
"Learning to knot a bow tie is not the daunting task you might imagine; it requires no more skill than tying your shoes" (Flusser 164).
What did you think of ties before reading this and do you think you can tie one now?

I've always thought ties were nice, or at least a lot nicer than bow ties. Although I don't quite hate bow ties they just don't look appealing to me. I already did knew how to tie one but the tip on the length was certainly helpful as before I wasn't quite sure how low it was supposed to hang so thank you for that.
