Wow, I see my fellow gentlemen have taken my advice from my
White Out post. You now have your fresh clean white dress shirt. The next move is critical. The time has come for you to select the appropriate neckwear. Keep in mind that we are striving for a conservative look similiar to that in which Barack Obama has adopted in his political career. You want a look that is both serious and professional. Your selection can make or break your entire outfit. Your tie is the centerpiece that is first noticed in your ensemble. Your tie is on the front line in the "War on First Impressions". You want to keep your look understated, yet elegant. Your choice should be a solid, striped, or small geometric tie in varying shades of blue, red, black, or gray. For knots, the gentleman should employ a four in hand or semi-windsor when knotting their tie. His tie should just meet his belt line. There should be a understated harmony between the dress shirt and tie.
The Burberry tie above is a perfect example of a tone on tone tie in black. There is a subtle check pattern, but the tie performs like a solid due to its tonal nature. Retail $130.00
