Tie

First of all, a tie should be in harmony with the color of the suit and shirt, and, even, with shoes and socks. The length, width, shape of the tie has no restrictions today. These parameters will depend on the style of the chosen costume and the taste of its owner, since etiquette involves a certain type of tie for each type of costume. When choosing a tie, you should remember that it should be lighter than the jacket, but darker than the shirt.
