First, of course, is to consider why are you buying one and to what occasion are you wearing it? Is it a formal event or an informal occasion? For formal occasions, it is of course best to choose conservative colors, such as mauves, dark blues and even black. If you intend to put a little modishness into your attire, choose a plain tie that is thinner than usual. If you are attending an outdoor and informal event, then choosing thin but colorful plain ties will suit you. It will lend and adventurous and fun personality to your attire.
When shopping for ties, you might want to choose the ones that will last long and are of good quality.

If you are skinny, plain ties that are a little bit wider will suit you well. If you are stockier, then the thinner ones will work well, however, they should not be that thin. The acceptable length should not go below the waist, and a couple of inches above your belt line, but should be long enough to give the formal look even after it is knotted.
The last consideration is color. Black has its many advantages that no other color has. It is classic and versatile, so you can wear it with any kind of shirt, suit and pants. It is also great for formal events, and as they say, with black, you can never go wrong.
