'Wears' your tie?

**Thunderbolt** · 27th December 08, 07:16 PM

So, I since the search function won't allow searches with any words less than 4 letters, I couldn't find if this has been covered in the past.

I think I know what the "official" answer is, I just thought I'd poll everyone and see what you thought.

So, where do you wear your tie? Top o' the buckle?, top of the kilt?, covering the buckle, just to the bottom?

If the tie ends in a point, I like the point to touch the top of the belt buckle. I don't like for the tie to cover the buckle.
If I'm wearing a waistcoat, I don't like for the tie to stick out from under the waistcoat.

If it is with a suit or sport jacket, I do just about the same.

That's a good point.....

If I'm wearing a waistcoat, i just tuck it in anyway..

Top of the kilt, more or less. Some ties are longer than others.

What's a tie ?

With a long torso and medium large neck I am lucky to get my ties to extend to the top of the buckle, unless I can find what I am looking for in long length.

Men's Wearhouse has a large selection of longer ties for guys like us. The one in Frederick is behind the Scott Key Mall.

Just wear a bowtie

But when I'm wearing a necktie and a waistcost, whether kilted or trousered, the tie gets tucked in.

You got in first.

On rare occasions when I fish one out from the back of my cupboard, it goes on the way it came off, knot and all.

PS: I can hardly believe how much you guys torture yourselves over how you wear your gear.

Yes, I find it remarkable too. It took a while for me to realise that this forum is actually a sartorial check-in zone generally. I don't think my other half or any friends would think I belong here!
