Using this tie is a breeze. Just wrap it around your neck and tie your favorite knot. For a more polished look, make sure the V - shaped end is straight and the keeper loop holds the tail in place. When it comes to parties or special events, you can choose to play up its funny side. In a business setting, let it show your professionalism. As for maintenance, it's best to hand - wash it in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the vibrant colors. After washing, gently squeeze out the water and let it air - dry. Don't wring it out, as this can distort the shape of the tie. Store it on a tie rack or hanger to keep it wrinkle - free and in good condition.
