Q: As a recent law-school graduate, I’ve invested in a few top-of-the-line clothing items, thanks to your help. One thing I’m not sure about, though, is how to store my ties. Any ideas?

A: Men need tie racks. They are the best way to store ties, period. Hanging your cravats helps keep them unwrinkled. As long as your closet has room for a rack, there’s no reason to put it elsewhere. Some racks screw into the wall, but I have a few that hang on the closet bar, next to my suits. I find these particularly convenient because I can take the whole rack out and look at it in daylight. There are lots of such gizmos online; try www.stacksandstacks.com.
