As you may have noticed, a number of the best marketed products in the world employ the crafty advertising technique of card stacking. Card stacking basically involves presenting only the good part and omitting the bad part. Well, this page won't do that. Instead, here you will find out about some things you wish you knew about neckties. Check out the following list.

1. Neckties can get messy.

Yes, say hello to mess multiplied by two. If you are the clumsy type, you will certainly betray your lack of dexterity and finesse all the more when you are sporting a necktie.

Picture a number of situations when this can happen: Before leaving for work, you snip your nasal hair and you shave off your beard, but the hairs cling to your tie instead of landing on to your bathroom sink (yikes). After making a dash for the office, you grab a cup of coffee, but since you're in such a hurry, the coffee splatters on your tie and stays there until you wash your tie (oops). Finally, as you head home, you decide to sip water from the fountain but your tie gets wet even before your mouth does (talk about premature laundry).

You need to be mindful of your moves because if you are buying a necktie to look good and respectable, you must exert a lot of effort to look and play the part well.

2. Neckties can get you into all sorts of trouble.

Oh no, what you are reading is no exaggeration. At times, there could be more at stake than just your finesse: your life (or someone else's). Never give a necktie as a gift for suicidal types of people. A necktie at hand may give them all sorts of wrong ideas. Never wear a necktie in vicinities where even the slightest tangle can lead to a fatal accident. If getting your tie caught in a grinding machine is already morbid enough, try imagining getting your tie caught in the doors of an express train. On the “lighter” side, you won't necessarily die, but a dash of clumsiness here and there might literally get you choking on your own necktie.

3. Neckties can be costly.

Although some neckties won't cause you anything beyond 5 dollars, you may unknowingly be spending more on neckties through frequent buying. Neckties require proper care, not only with the way you make knots (if your tie isn't a clip-on type) but also with the way you clean and carry them. If you can't give any care, chances are you might be changing ties as regularly as you change your undies. Shelling out money on almost a daily basis is not a joke.

These things are not written here to scare you off but to help you make a more complete and balanced decision on purchasing neckties. Take these things in tandem with the positive things you know about neckties. Then, make a decision. A pound of caution never hurts.
