Learning how to tie a tie is like a rite of passage. But for most men, no matter how often they wear a neck tie, they can never seem to prevent it from looking sloppy.

For starters, the length of your tie is essential to achieving a polished look. Make sure that the tip of the tie hits right above the middle of your pant waistband or belt. Want to achieve a suave tie dimple like Clark Gable or Cary Grant? The key is to get the knot as tight as possible.
