How skinny should I go? A "regular tie" is about 3.5 inches wide. Wearing a slimmer tie lends a fashion-forward edge to a classic style. How long should a tie be? 56-58 inch ties will fit 90% of people. Don't overthink it. Varying your knotting technique can easily transform a long/short tie into the perfect length. Fashion Rules for Skinny Neckties : 1. Match the tie with to the suit lapels. Skinny ties look best when worn with narrow lapels 2. Skinny ties look best with 1 or 2 button suit or blazer jackets. 3. Don't wear a dress shirt with a wide spread collar when wearing skinny ties. The best shirts collars have a medium to narrow collar spread. Also, button down collars are less suited for narrow neckties. 4. Match the narrow tie with a smaller, slightly asymmetric tie knot. A perfect tie knot is the so called four in Hand knot. 5. Skinny ties look best on slim men. Stocky and overweight men should stay away from narrow ties as they will add even more pounds to the frame. 6. Keep the patterns and colors simple and modern. Traditional patterns such as Regimental stripes, paisleys, and polka dots are less suited for skinny ties. Best are solid colors, knitted skinny ties, and modern stripes, as well as checks of all sorts. 7. Add a tie clip! A simple tie clip in polished silver or gold will be a perfect accessory for the skinny tie.
