Recently I have started playing around with wearing ties occasionally as an accessory to outfits and I’ve found them to be a really nice addition. Ties may be falling out of favour with some people but they are a timeless piece that still look great.
I still consider it a MUST to have a tie on. Unless it is really a casual shirt, cant step out the house without a tie on.
That’s right MAGIC MAN 😁
How are you Lazar?

@@AskOkeyInc Its been a couple of hard weeks Okey, how are you? Always glad to see a YT video uploaded.
@@TheDubtFire I am well MAGIC MAN. Just taking some time off the big screen. Please send me a DM on IG regarding Belgrade Tour.

@@AskOkeyInc sent on Saturday sir :)
Totally agree! It just elevates your look
Great content. Never have enough neckties. Just passed the 200 mark and all of them get worn regularly. Each is uniquely beautiful. I must visit the website. I have a suit in mind... Cheers
So smart I would take any man seriously who wears a tie, it’s respect not only for himself, but to others a nice shirt, a fancy tie, a bespoke suit, and creed aftershave, there you have it
I agree totally the tie completes the look and makes you look more put together. I believe people are going tieless because the worlds becoming so casual it’s almost cool to not be well dressed so being tieless creates the casual look some people are looking for for such reasons and I believe ties really bring out the best in a suit and makes a suit look 100% better than it would’ve looked without most suits are a blank canvas without a suit and pocket square but with everything you still have to be well dressed and have a eye for good taste I know a lot of people that wear a suit and tie but the tie looks terrible and doesn’t match the suit at all and completely ruins the look and makes them look rather instead like they’re wearing a suit and tie from a lost and found so another reason could be if you don’t have a eye for taste some people would go without because it doesn’t make the suit look as bad and for some they might be thinking of saving money and it allows people that can’t dress to think less that’s why personally when I hear people say ties shouldn’t be worn as they don’t look good i immediately know they can’t dress but that’s just my take😅
As always, very thoughtful entry Sir Lawful. It is not a coincidence that the old phrase was coined …
The first step in any young man’s life is to learn how to tie a tie properly
You will not believe how many grown men who are unable to make a simple Four in Hand knot.
That’s why we are here TEACHING 😁
Thank you once again Sir Lawful

@@AskOkeyInc because there has been a massive decline since the 60s which brought down respectability not dressing well manners you name it just watch at 1950s tv show and see if you even hear swearing or sex or anything of the kind it became cool to rebel it became cool to cause problems and really it’s Stick from the generations since it not to mention the music most people consume you see there’s two types of people one that listens to gangster rap because it sounds good and the other that listens to and is influenced enough to act on what the person singing/rapping is talking about unfortunately most of the populace has turned into the latter and just about everything Hollywood pumps out they do or at least want to aspire to do so you realise respectability becomes frowned upon. Unfortunately most people I realised especially the black community doesn’t have a lot of role models that’s why we suffer the most I go to all the high end places and you’re lucky if you see a black person.. problem is everything seen as respectable for black people is seen as “acting white” you talk with manners and have a vast vocabulary “you’re trying to act white” you dress well “trying to act white” and I’m always amazed why everything bad is associated with black it’s like half of them don’t even know what they’re really saying.. that’s why it’s amazing to see a black individual like you who’s changing the narrative and giving young people to look up to because just watch a few shaving videos and you will see how much young people are praising the man in the video for teaching something there parents didn’t believe me you have a impact and I’m delighted it’s a good one
@@lawfulbeneficiary1731 WOW! Sir Lawful, I cannot find the words to thank you
You certainly care for your community and it shows in the emotiveness of your writing.
Let’s keep fighting the good fight. One can only change the world one person at a time.
Thank you once again

Loved the video very informative
Okey, I just found you, and I must say your content is EXCELLENT. Blessings to you and your work.
Thank you Dear Reverend 🙏🏾
Welcome to AskOkey. I certainly hope to hear from you often in the comment section 😁

Let’s have your comments ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for watching. PROFF
Thank you for bringing up bow ties!!
Welcome aboard sir
The one and only Prof
I am a new follower of your channel and I love it.
I’m short (169cm) somehow athletic person with short and wide neck. I always have a problem choosing a right shirt to comfort my neck. What type of shirt collars do you recommend me? Thank you.
Akmal
Thank you, Sir.
With Great Pleasure Bo! Good Morning Sir.
PROFF
Always great to see Okey's unique and elegant outfit combinations in the videos. Also great to see the AskOkey products in extended videos to see how they move in real life and to see from different angles. Do you have an approach for choosing a jacket style for one's first purchase? Planning to order this week, at the very least, a pair of classic trousers (probably in white 380gr linen to go with a white and blue herringbone wool-linen DB jacket I own) once I get my measurements taken. That shirt collar looks really excellent on you btw. I might have to add that to my cart to try it.
Good evening Sir Mighty Kam 😁
Regarding Jacket Style, I believe you’ve been in contact with Tim. Tim is a GEM and has a wealth of knowledge. However if you insist on my opinion, I would say a Navy Blazer is a sine-qua-non. Can’t go wrong as your first AskOkey Coat.
Now coming to trousers, a white linen pair would be very limiting unless you intend it for a specific purpose. If your goal is versatility, then it doesn’t get much better than a pair of medium gray fresco trousers.
Please consider Tim’s advice. I hold him in very high regard when it comes to good taste and choice of dress.
PROFF
@@AskOkeyInc Thanks Okey. The navy blazer was what I was already thinking and even considering a full suit in. My question was more about the jacket style, so 3-roll vs SB vs DB. You have very a compelling design in each style so I wondered what you would select for a first style since you wear them all? As for fresco/high-twist trousers I already have those. I have both medium grey (trousers) and light grey (suit) from "Spring 4-PLY" cloth by VBC in 410 g/m. This cloth drapes and performs phenomenally in my experience. I am really enjoying wearing them this summer and am currently so satisfied that I don't know if I would even consider another brand of high-twist. So yes the white linen is a very specific choice but I understand how it will fit well with my existing wardrobe. It is actually a good candidate for bespoke since it is an uncommon thing to find otherwise, especially in the robust linen from Dugdale's Heirloom bunch.
@@ruliadultra Good Morning Mighty Kam. In that case here’s my thinking
1. Coat: If you’re going for a TRUE BLAZER in Navy, there’s nothing more striking and unique out there than our AskOkey DB CUT. Indeed our 3-roll-2 is brilliant and a true CLASSIC. But the DB is more STRIKING. So it depends on what you’re going for. SUBTLE vs. STRIKING. I personally prefer the DB for a STATEMENT Blazer.
NB: If I were you, I’d have this made up as a suit to make it more versatile. However the choice of cloth would have to be a SUITING and not a JACKETING. Think Sturdy Hopsack vs. Mock Leno. Tim can guide you here with choice.
2. Trousers: I now understand where you’re coming from. In fact we just made our customer from Italy 🇮🇹 Simone a pair of Pristine White Linen Trousers from DUGDALE’s Lisburn Linen bunch and he loves them. So if you’re determined on White Linen for your first pair of trousers, can’t go wrong.
PROFF
@@AskOkeyInc Hello Okey. Does Simone have a picture of himself wearing this trouser on some public platform? I should like to see if so.
@@ruliadultra YES Mighty Kam. We just did a Profile on Simone on our Instagram Stories yesterday. Please go to @askokeyig and click on the STORIES
We reviewed Simone’s entire process from start to finish with Slides (Photos and videos). From Test of Fit (ToF) to completed and delivered garment.
PROFF
Hello. Thanks for answering my previous questions. Just a follow up question. Is a fresco suit considered a casual suit, or is it a business suit for warmer weather? What ties would you wear with a fresco suit?
Of course Chris. Fresco while appropriate as a business suit would fall left of plain worsted on the dressy spectrum. So yes, it is more casual than a plain worsted but also a substitute for plain worsted in warmer weather or tropical climates.
I would wear a textured tie for harmony with the textured surface of fresco. A plain silk tie would also be just fine in a pinch.
PROFF👑
Could you show more examples of what you are talking about? Thanks, great content !!
Thank you very much and welcome to AskOkey. Please follow our Instagram Page @askokeyig
Lots of examples (reels and posts) on there.
PROFF
Hello. Just discovered your channel. I am enjoying the content. Where do silk knitted ties fit in? Are they pretty versatile as far as seasonality? Can you wear them with flannel suits in the fall and hopsack jackets or fresco suits in the summer?
Welcome to AskOkey Christopher. Silk knit ties are a sort of “Universal” tie. They can be worn with pretty much any texture of cloth (suits and jackets). However I personally reserve them for more casual suits, and of course sport jacket and odd trouser combinations.

Great video. Where did you get this tie on the thumbnail?
Thanks prof
Of course Nelson 🔥
Hey Proff. Where do you buy your pocket squares?
The tieless trend peaked. Do you advise on having the courage to turn the tide and wear tie again - even when superiors and board of directors go tieless?
Great Video! Thanks Okey. I am thinking of getting my first Shibumi grenadine tie to pair with my navy suit. It's more for a businness/worship setting. I don't like the idea of plain navy tie and navy suit. Do you have any recomendations?
Hi Zhen, Shibumi is a good brand. I own a few ties made by them. EG CAPPELLI is also a good brand of which I own a few ties.

I’m in the South and typically wear bow ties causally (usually cotton or some other summer weight fabric); is that a faux pas?
NO SIR! That is a testament to your confidence and your sense of personal style. 👏
Ohhh he has hit that beautifully and That is a Top Class Shot ❤❤😊
Thank you Sumit. PROFF
I'm always waiting for that beat/bass 🎧 to drop 😅
You mean the AskOkey Soundtrack?
Bow ties are for evening wear.
I've only got one ascot tie.
@@alternateunreleasedshellac505 That’s all you need
Ah but which knots are appropriate?
Hello , could someone tell me how this suit pattern is called ( i don't mean the suit pattern ,i mean the decorative pattern on the suit ) ?
Thank you in advance.
The pattern is called a “GUNCLUB”. A very traditional pattern mainly used for jacketings.
Welcome to AskOkey.
PROFF
@@AskOkeyInc thank you sir .
Sir, I wonder: do you steam your ties? Thank you.
NO Sir
I just roll them up after each wear
Thank you, PROFF@@AskOkeyInc
Do you think it is okay to wear a tie with dress pants but no jacket?
SURE! Better than no jacket
I’m a ascot wearer. If I am not in the office I have on an ascot.
Where is the Link to part 2 can you post please?
Please have a look at our RUclips Channel
I have browsed the channel and couldn't locate part 2 I was expecting a link in the description or as a pinned comment
@@cevansPhotographer We have several videos on ties sir. Whatever isn’t there we haven’t made
Can someone tell me when should you wear suspenders?
Whenever you have on dress trousers sir
Thank I like how you wear yours- so should the pants be worn above the belly button, with the suspenders?
@@513Jimmy At the natural waist. Which equates to the belly button for most
I wear a bow tie almost everyday. The only occasion I would refrain from wearing a bow tie is at a funeral.
That’s is good practice Steven
And now your signature I must imagine 😁
If everyone has on a tie, it's a must. If everyone is casual, then no.
@@anthonyrichmond5586 According to your environment

I'm a tie guy jacket without tie or bow is not for me
Can't you achieve the same thing with a beard? : )
I love man, but you dress like Carey Grant in his generation.
I really appreciate the content, but is it just me - or does he look kind of goofy in his oversized looking suits, augmented by nervous side of side movements. Trousers are way too wide. I am aware this is his stylen and used to be a style, but for me (!) doesn't meet today's aesthetics.
Yes I also noticed his style of suits are a bit bigger than what we usually see. However, he really knows his stuff and because he is larger and more muscular than average men he needs to wear different cuts. I actually think he will be able to pull off a slimmer look very well if he wanted to
Yes, dude definitely knows his stuff. However, I hope once in a while I can see him in a more streamlined look (or more European look, as pointed out in another video).@@armin8768
He is the king of drape. It's definitely different than what is being pushed currently. However, his tailoring is perfect as are his large collared shirts. Very elegant and a welcomed return.
"A picture is worth a 1,000 words". How wonderful it would have been to add pictures or a table layout with all the varities covered here @AskOkey. Take2!😅
Note to self 😅
Thank you for the suggestion 🙌🏾
Tie with jeans looks odd? 🎉
That’s right Alex. Not a fan at all.
