Organizing a tie rack

980507_some_ties If you’ve got more ties than fit on your tie rack, here’s a very straightforward way to get that situation under control:

Lay all your ties out.
Look at each one for stains and rips. Toss those suckers right out – you don’t need them and neither does anybody else.
Go through the ones that are left. If they don’t match anything you own or are profoundly out of style, give them away to a charity. Someone can use them, just not you.
If you have ties you haven’t worn in a year, consider giving those away, too. Unless the reason you’re not wearing them is they were lost in the closet for ages.
