Generation Tux<\/a>\u00a0and conducted by Talker Research, the study found that when it comes to neck and bow ties, confidence drops even further.<\/p>\nOne in five men admit they don\u2019t feel confident about knowing how to tie a necktie, with 24% admitting their partner ties a better one than they do.<\/p>\n
One in ten confess they have a \u201cgo-to video\u201d when it comes time to get a necktie tied, with 10% saying they only purchase clip-on ties.<\/p>\n
And while 58% said they have no need to search the internet for assistance, the top, most common search was found to be \u201cHow long should a tie be?\u201d (16%)<\/p>\n
For bowties, it\u2019s even worse, as 61% of respondents report being unconfident when it comes to them. Men average three failed bowtie-tying attempts before getting it right and nearly half (47%) flat out admit they can\u2019t tie one.<\/p>\n
\u201cFollow a few simple rules to make sure you nail the dress code. Black or white tie, go with a tuxedo. Formal, wear a classic black or navy suit. Casual, tropical, or garden weddings, show up in a tan or blue suit (and have fun with the accessory colors),\u201d said Jason Jackson, President and Chief Operating Officer of Generation Tux. \u201cWhen in doubt, just ask. It’s better to swallow your pride and ask than show up in something that isn’t appropriate.\u201d<\/p>\n
With wedding season around the corner, results revealed that the average man may be a bit unprepared when it comes to what\u2019s already in their closet.<\/p>\n
Only 17% said they could successfully nail down a \u201cblack tie\u201d suit with what\u2019s currently in their wardrobe, and just 27% could dress up for \u201ccocktail\u201d attire.<\/p>\n
On average, men own two different suits and wear them outside of professional obligation on just two occasions per year.<\/p>\n
Men Own Two Suits and Wear Them Casually Only Twice a Year<\/h2>\n
Sadly, 44% of men agree that they aren\u2019t fully happy with their current selection of suits, with the average respondent saying they\u2019d be willing to drop over $1,200 on the \u201cperfect suit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe right suit makes all the difference in how you look, and how you feel. Choose a color you’re excited about, and make sure you have the right fit,\u201d said Jackson. \u201cA great-looking suit that doesn’t fit correctly won’t have you feeling like a million bucks. And with options like rental, you don’t have to spend a million bucks to look like it. Design a suit with confidence and have an unforgettable evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
