How to Buy the Right Tie for a Suit

Video Transcript

"Hello, this is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image & Etiquette Consulting in Coral Gables, Florida. In this clip, I'm going to show you how to buy the right tie for a man's suit. What you need to do, basically, is that you need to make sure that the tie has at least some colors or some family colors that are going to go with the color of the whole suit and, of course, against the actual suit that the man has. In this example right here, he's wearing, of course, a white shirt, which is going to bring out any color that he desires on the tie. And if you see, the tie has very similar colors as the suit. It matches the buttons right here, and it also has, in the dark, the same exact color that the suit has. He is going to spice it a little bit with the lighter colors just to make sure that the tie does not look exactly like the suit. Another example that I can show here is with this white shirt. Can you grab this shirt really fast? Thank you. And a blue tie like this one is going to look great as well with a blue suit. If you see right here, the suit, it's another type of blue, but when you bring a lighter blue on top of it, it's going to make it also bring out the suit and the tie. So once again, what you just need to make sure is that some colors on the tie match the actual suit and the buttons and just have, like, a lighter or a darker shirt so it can actually show the tie.
