One of the most beautiful elements which I often notice when men wearing a necktie is the dimple how they create on it; then the knot and the length of the blades, before we get into the subject I would like to share with you one of the beautiful quotes by Oscar Wilde. A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.
Apparently, the tie is not just a piece of cloth that you would wear around your neck and put a knot on it; is also a piece of art which would literally elevate your look immediately; if you can't believe it then you must try it once, but it is not what you think, actually, the real essence of tying a tie is only reveal when we adding exuberance to it.
Therefore, the fabric and the proportion of the tie contribute a pivotal role in this case; hence we would explore a little bit of the structural part; however, the chosen fabric has been cut according to a meticulously measured pattern; then sewing the edges afterwards both tips of the tie is covered (stitched) with the same piece of fabric (the lining) then adding an interlining which is a piece of canvas (the exact shape of the tie which allows creating a beautiful tie knot) goes into it then it would fold as a three-part (a classic three-fold tie) then stitched together invisibly; in consequence, its called a tipped/self tipped tie.

Presumably, the classic three-fold tie is also untipped as well, which means both tips of the tie are not covered by any sort of fabric; instead, the edges are rolled and stitched by hand.
On the other hand, we have the excellence of the tie structural part which is called folded ties; the fabric of the tie has been folded multi times to create a nice structure rather than adding a canvas to it and the edges have been folded and stitched by hand; hence there is no lining on the tips of the tie.

Comparatively, it requires quite a large amount of fabric (folding) also it's entirely crafted by hand, although we could obtain it in various categories like five-fold, six-fold, seven-fold, and twelve-fold as well, therefore, the price of the tie is also relatively high, predominantly, these sorts of ties are made of silk, wool, cotton, and linen as well.
As I said earlier if you want to elevate your look and feel the real essence of tying a tie then you must try it once but not just like put it around your neck and then knot it; you should add exuberance to it, therefore, first of all, choose the right tie and then knot or perhaps if you already have an any favourite; put it around your neck gently then begin to knot it,
and eventually when you put the large blade of your tie into the knot (here is you going to give the charismatic touch to your tie) and hold the small blade with your left hand then gently pull out the large blade with your right hand and place your index finger on the middle of the large blade to create a nice dimple on it,
thereafter make sure the large blade of your tie just touches the waistband of your trousers (except for high-waist trousers), and don't put the small blade into the tie loop instead of letting them free whereas it could be a little bit more lengthened than the large blade to add nonchalance (never too long never too short).
