For taller men, longer ties, about 60 inches in length, are better. The knot should be tied in such a way that the tie ends at the belt. Ideally, half an inch of the tie hangs over the belt. It should not end above the belt, nor below it.

To choose the width, one must keep in mind the body type.

A slim individual wearing a broader tie will end up looking even slimmer while a bigger person in a slim tie would look bigger.

"These days slim ties are out of fashion. But in general, a rounder person should go in for a wider tie while a thinner man would look better in a slimmer one," Nazare says.
