Bro, thank you for the article.
I agree with the statement saying that wearing a necktie can make a man look handsome, smart and professional in his appearance.

The choice of the necktie also mu suit the occasion or the person who is wearing it.

Some say the colour of the necktie must or should be matching with the pants,, some say matching with the shirt... WHICH is true or suitable???

Thats my dilemma....
