Reply to comment by eat_more_bees_ in LPT: if you wear a suit and tie (or just a tie), and have a belly, get an extra long tie. by hawkinsst7

So he sucks at tying it properly. Add "tying a tie" to the list of things he's not good at.

A tie should come to your belt line. If its too short (because you have a long torso, or a big round gut for it to go around), it doesn't lay right or look good at all.

Yes, you're right, a tie that's too long also looks dumb too.

If you're trying to stretch every inch out of the ties you normally just grab off the rack, just to get it to lay right or not end pointing at your belly button, be aware that there are longer ties out there that may fit better.
