How Many Ties Should You Own?

The number of ties you should own for a professional wardrobe will depend on the style and versatility of each tie, and the frequency of wear.

Building Your Tie Collection

• You'll be happier with a smaller selection of high-quality, versatile ties rather than a large number of cheap ties that you don't enjoy wearing.
  
• Start with a few solid color silk ties in basic colors like navy, grey, and burgundy. Then add simple patterns like stripes or dots to establish a foundational tie wardrobe. 
  

Occasion Considerations

• Add at least one black tie to your essential collection for formal events.
  
• As you add ties, consider your lifestyle and work requirements.
  
• Plan for both professional and social occasions when you select ties.
  

Building Over Time

• Establish a solid base of versatile tie options before you expand your collection.
  
• Gradually add more colorful, patterned, or unique ties based on specific needs and style preferences.
  

Additional Flair

• To ensure longevity of your necktie investment, develop a way to organize your tie collection.
  
• Some prefer rolling their ties and keeping them in a drawer or tie box while others like to hang their ties on specialized tie hangars for easy selection.
  
• Before storing a tie that you've just worn, inspect it for stains or marks. Get it dry cleaned right away so it will continue to serve your sartorial needs.
