Because of the recent drop in temperature, I have been wearing sweaters over my dress shirts/ties. Is there a trick to keeping your tie from creating a bulge in the sweater?... Especially when sitting down.

Have you tried tucking the tie into the shirt at the point below where it is visible? The shirt might be better at holding it in than the sweater. Shouldn't feel too weird if you have an undershirt on, although I have never tried this. Personally it's not something I have ever even thought about. My guess would be nobody else will either.

Let it bulge. What's the problem? Clothes should look like they're lived in, not like you just stepped out of your dressing room. If it's that big of a concern tuck it into your shirt in between buttons. I'd say don't worry about it though. No one worth knowing is actually going to care about your tie bulge.

I side with Albert on this one, people wont be too concerned with your bulge
9unless your in the military and all they want are crisp lines, i think the bulge isnt an issue but if you do, I definately think Sal's point is the correct way to do it. Its the military look. ie this guy

I just wore a tie under my v neck sweater last night; slim navy tie under a khaki BR silk/cashmere v-neck. The bulge was there but not that noticeable (I didn't tuck the tie into my shirt). The only issue I had with that look is that the darker tie showed through under the thin, light-colored sweater (I had on a light shirt).
For me, I'm not trying to look like I just stepped off the runway because chances are I'll miss some detail and it will look "off". Or I will move a bit too far and something will get knocked out of place. My perspective is similar Albert's; as a man I should care about my appearance and be well put together, but not so much so that it becomes my purpose. I know this line is different for everyone. IMO, part of being a well-dressed man is not caring about some things (even breaking some rules) and having the swagger to pull it off.

step 1. get a thin tie.
step 2. tie it short so that the big part ends on your nipple line/a little lower
step 3. tuck the long tail in your shirt
you can still have a tight knot (not too big because of thin tie) but it doesn't go to your stomach, no bulge. Knot is still visible and you have the sweater on so no one knows the tie is tied short.
