The Rules of Ties has everything you need to know about ties. The book offers you a paradigm shift and tells you what types of ties are proper for business and social activities. The book teaches you how to wear your tie correctly. John T. Molloy considers the ties the most important status symbols. Many men wear fancy ties but wear the ties with a sloppy knot or at a wrong length. Tie experts maintain that a well-tied tie should have a forward arch beneath the knot, but no one knows how to accomplish this goal. Every fashion book teaches its readers how to tie the three most popular tie knots, the four-in-hand, Windsor, and half Windsor. If you use one of these knots, you probably will never have a chance to arch out your tie. The book exclusively teaches you the biggest secret in tie history--how to arch out a tie without using any artificial device, such as a collar pin or a vest.
