In case you’re wondering, Xu WeiZhou is sporting a full Saint Laurent look, the gold standard of festive dressing cool.
For some odd reason, no one can take their eyes off a tie the minute you wear one. You might get a weird glance (really though, when was the last time you saw someone wearing one) or a passing compliment (“Nice tie, bro”) but the two techniques to the tie are simple. According to the picture of Xu WeiZhou above, it needs to hit right at your beltline regardless if you’re a 1.85metres tall actor or the average height of a Singaporean male, 1.72metres.
Secondly, you just need to focus on one knot technique: the four-in-hand. It’s not as fussy as the Eldridge, complicated as the Atlantic or thick as the Windsor because it’s neither too big or too small. And neither, is it so perfectly triangular that you’ll end up looking stuffy instead of spiffy.
To dial it back however to talk about what makes Xu Weizhou’s Saint Laurent fit that damn great would be to reiterate the two points above with a third. Make sure the tip of the tie hits above your belt line, knot it up with a four-in-hand and most importantly, get yourself a plain black one. No prints, no patterns and no embellishments: find one to anchor your outfit the minute you strap it on. We’re sure the sale assistants at the store can help you out.
