Similar to your suit jacket being too big, it kind of ruins your formal look.

When you’re wearing a tie, you’re probably doing something important like:

• At work in a formal office
• Going to a job interview
• At (or in) a wedding
• Attending a funeral

We wear suits and ties to signify that we understand and respect the formality of a situation, but all too often they detract from a man’s image instead of enhancing it.

Wearing a Suit and Tie

While suits and dress shirts used to be custom made by default, mass manufacturing has led to ill-fitting garments and one-size-fits-all accessories.

That’s why, these days, so many guys look terrible wearing a suit and tie (especially in the U.S.).

This is the exact opposite effect that a formal outfit is supposed to produce, and most guys don’t even know they’re doing it wrong.

Now, if you’re a shorter man and aren’t sure if your suits are working for or against you, read this guide about suits for shorter men, and consider these shorter guy clothing brands.

The rest of this post will focus on one aspect of the formal look – the cherry on top, if you will – the necktie.
