As a general rule for all tie knots, the widest part of your tie should hang roughly at the same height as the upper edge of your leather belt, with the tieâs tip extending slightly below it. The tip of the narrow end would then hang wherever it may.
This means that different body height (length of upper body) will need different tie length. For most people, tie length can be adjusted by how you tie your tie. But extra long or extra short people may need extra long or extra short ties. See more in our tie length chart below. Other Things That Can Affect Tie Length. We know that body height can affect tie lengt (see tie length chart below).
