Corporate ties are popular items, but many businesses choose to let some team members wear corporate scarves instead. While scarves can certainly be excellent in some situations, there’s more than one reason why you should opt for ties.

Easier to Get Right

Learning how to tie a necktie is a rite of passage that most of us learn fairly early in life. It’s rare to find an adult who cannot tie a tie, and it’s very easy to teach them how to do it. Once you learn how to tie one, it’s hard to get the look wrong. In contrast, a scarf can be much tougher to put on in the correct way. Team members may wear them too short, too long, or too tight. Ultimately, it’s best to go for the easier option.

Better Branding

Corporate clothing provides an ideal opportunity for branding, and you can make the most of that opportunity by choosing ties instead of scarves. That might sound backwards at first – after all, scarves provide a larger surface area. The problem is that they need to be more bunched up, so any logo or other branding is likely to get lost. With a tie, your logo, company name, or crest will be easy to see and read.

More Professional

It’s hard to argue with the idea that corporate clothing should present a professional appearance, which is just one reason why corporate ties are more popular than corporate scarves. Scarves don’t present a messy or slip-shod look, but they simply aren’t as professional as ties.

Uniform Appearance

Finally, keep in mind that going with both corporate ties and corporate scarves is going to make staff members look different. Any customers or clients may assume that they denote different positions or functions. Even if they don’t, variations in appearance should be avoided if you want to create a strong sense of uniformity.
