Hey there! Just wanted to share some info with you that might be helpful for the fellas.

*Tying a bow tie can be a bit tricky at first, but with a bit of practice it can become easy and second nature. Here’s a step-by-step guide to tying a bow tie:
  1.  Put the bow tie around your neck, with the left end shorter than the right end and crossing over it.
  2. Take the longer end and loop it over the shorter end to create a simple knot.
  3. Take the longer end and fold it into a “U” shape.
  4. Take the shorter end and place it over the center of the “U”.
  5. Bring the longer end down and place it over the shorter end.
  6. Tuck the longer end up and behind the loop you have created.
  7. Take the two loops and adjust them until they are symmetrical and the bow tie sits neatly on your neck.
Congratulations, you have successfully tied a bow tie! It may take a few attempts to get it perfect, but with practice it will become a quick and easy process.

Spit shining shoes is a classic way to give your shoes a shiny appearance. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Gather the necessary materials. These include a can of shoe polish, water, a polishing cloth, and a brush.
  2. Clean the shoes. Before beginning the spit shine process, ensure your shoes are free of dirt by cleaning them with a damp cloth and allowing them to dry completely.
  3. Apply the polish. Using a small amount of polish, apply it to the surface of the shoe in small, circular motions.
  4. Add water. Dampen the polishing cloth with water and use it to further spread the polish over the surface of the shoe.
  5. Buff the shoes. Use the brush and circular motions to buff the shoes, removing any excess polish.
  6. Add shine. Continue to apply water to the polishing cloth and repeat the buffing process until your shoes have a shine. You can also use a nylon stocking for the final buffing process to achieve an even higher shine.

Follow these steps to get that perfect, glossy finish on your shoes.

There is no strict rule that your shoes and belt must match, but it is generally considered a good style guideline to do so.


Matching your shoes and belt can pull together your outfit and create a more polished look. However, it is not essential to have an exact match in color or material. Instead, aim for a harmonious pairing that complements your clothing. For example, a brown leather belt may look great with dark brown shoes but can also work with a lighter shade of brown or other earthy tones.


Ultimately, it is up to personal preference and the occasion you are dressing for.


In casual settings, you can opt for a more relaxed approach, while in more formal settings, it’s best to make sure your shoes and belt match to project a put-together look.
