7 common necktie mistakes made by men
- Wrong tie length One of the most frequent mistakes is wearing a tie that’s either too long or too short. The ideal length should see the tie tip just grazing the top of your belt buckle.
Always ensure the tip of your tie reaches the middle of your belt buckle or waistband. This might require adjusting the tie’s skinny end to achieve the perfect balance.
- Clashing patterns and colours Mixing patterns and colours is an art. A common mistake is pairing a tie with a shirt or suit in conflicting patterns or colours that clash rather than complement.
Follow the rule of contrast. Pair a boldly patterned tie with a subtly patterned or solid shirt. When in doubt, a solid navy or burgundy tie works with almost everything.

- Improper knot size The knot size can make or break the look. A knot that’s too small or too large can throw off the balance of your attire.
Choose your knot based on your collar type. For spread collars, use a Windsor knot for its wider shape. For more narrow collars, a Four-in-Hand knot is more appropriate and gives a slimmer look.
Neglecting the tie’s fabric Wearing a tie made of low-quality fabric or one that doesn’t match the season can detract from your outfit’s overall appeal.
Invest in ties made from silk, wool, or linen depending on the season. Silk is versatile for year-round use, while wool is perfect for colder months, and linen suits the summer heat.

- Incorrect tie space Ignoring the tie space (the gap between the collar and the tie knot) is another common error, making the tie appear as if it’s choking you.
Ensure there’s a small gap between the collar and the tie knot for a neat look that also feels comfortable.
- Forgetting the tie dimple A tie without a dimple can look flat and lifeless. The dimple adds character and depth to your look.
When tightening your tie, pinch the fabric just below the knot to create a dimple. Practice makes perfect.
Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) presidential candidate and former Cross River State Governor, Donald Duke, has called on opposition parties to form a united front to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. In an interview with Symfoni TV, Duke cautioned that Tinubu is an exceptional and formidable political opponent who cannot be defeated individually.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Emphasizing that the political framework inherently favors the incumbent All Progressives Congress (APC) because they control state power and law enforcement apparatuses, Duke warned that division and ego among opposition figures effectively work against their own interests. Using a striking analogy, he described taking on the incumbent as trying to fight a lion that has been given horns using only a knife and fork, concluding that the opposition would end up as “dinner” without a cohesive, unified approach.
The Federal Government has issued an urgent flood warning through the National Flood Early Warning Systems Centre, cautioning that 915 communities spread across 19 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) face severe flooding risks from August 27 to September 9, 2026. In addition to these critical-risk zones, the centre flagged 429 communities in seven states as high-risk and 656 communities across 13 states under a moderate flood-risk watch.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
The 19 states categorized under the critical-risk threat are Kogi, Benue, Rivers, Edo, Delta, Cross River, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Ekiti, Lagos, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, and Oyo, encompassing major cities like Lokoja, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Ibadan, and Onitsha. According to Usman Abdullahi Bokani, Director of the Erosion, Flood and Coastal Zone Management Department, this impending threat is driven by factors such as continuous rainfall, saturated soils, rapid surface runoff, strained drainage networks, and swelling river levels. Residents in these vulnerable areas have been strongly advised to ready themselves for potential emergencies and identify secure evacuation routes.
African Action Congress (AAC) 2027 presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore has cautioned citizens against falling for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s stance on reversing the fuel subsidy. Atiku, who is running under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), previously pledged to restore the subsidy if elected, arguing that the current administration’s removal of the policy has brought no advantages to the country.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
In response via an X post, Sowore rejected Atiku’s remarks, asserting that the AAC remains the sole political party that has steadfastly opposed the subsidy removal from the outset. He accused Atiku and other establishment politicians of shifting their stances based on political convenience and foreign capitalist interests, stating that they should not be permitted to rewrite history or masquerade as genuine opposition figures. Sowore further claimed that it was the AAC’s unwavering position at the Nigerian Bar Association Annual General Conference in Port Harcourt that actually rattled the Tinubu government, rather than any actions from Atiku’s camp.
