The problem with fashion is that there are no rules; only opinions usually derived from our experiences of what we believe should look good and fashionable. The ‘opinions’ of our label is what you will find here and whilst fashion changes, so may our ‘opinions’. All this said, the following is a guide to what Distino currently believe makes the perfect modern tie look.Whilst many men are wearing stripe ties with checked shirts and visa versa, Distino believe that this is hard to pull off and get right.

Generally speaking, for shirts and ties to work well together you need to have some of the same colours or shades from the tie in the shirt. This rule does not apply for plain white shirts. You can get away with just about any colour tie with a plain white shirt.Get the length of your tie right. This comes back to tying the knot well – which will come with practice. Aim for the tip of the tie to finish just on your belt line.

Keep your tie in good presentable condition. Yes, Distino silk ties can be dry cleaned and keep well after being dry cleaned.  Store your ties carefully. As mentioned in an earlier tip, if you’re lazy, keep the the knot tied and hang it over the neck of a coat hanger in the wardrobe. Your ties will be stored without creasing and you only need to tie the perfect Windsor knot once!
