People who write rules like this are idiots. I'm kinda short, and if I didn't tuck the narrow end of any standard length tie between my shirt buttons it would hang down to my crotch; I think tucking it in is preferable to that...

As for tucking the wide end into your trousers, I think it can look good in certain circumstances.



Indeed yes.

This is a fashion no no, You may tuck it into your shirt from behind the long end of the tie but not into the pants. your best bet you be to try a diffrent knot that leaves less left over fabric.

so all my life ive been using the four in hand knot while tying ties and it usually leaves alot of excess so that the tie sits well below the belt line. ive gotten into the habit of tucking in the end of my tie into my pants just because it prevents it from flip flopping around while my jacket is unbuttoned. BUT i only seem to do this with a box end knit tie, not so much with a pointed end silk tie. good look, bad look? kinda sorta maybe?
For the fat/proper part this ismega I think!
