A tie can
be a tricky fashion accessory to pull off, but if worn the right way, it can make
a powerful statement. You can wear it to work, if you want to get
an edge over other employees or at formal
parties to get a dapper look.
With the passage of time,
there has been considerable
change in fashion accessories for
men and ties have greatly influenced
in bringing an extraordinary transformation in the way
they are being worn.
For example, it is
fashionable to wear a
loosely worn tie which does not have the knot
around the neck but a
little lower for a more
casual look.
The
different kind
Seasonal : Just
like you have special
clothes for summer and winter,
you can choose your ties to match the season. For summer, it is best
to opt for a good linen or cotton
tie. Woolen, knitted, velvet and other
warmer material ties are good choices for winter. As for
the color palette, use pastel and
pale shades during
summer and richer jewel tones
for autumn and winter.
Fabrics: Apart from usual materials like, silk, polyester,
wool, cotton, linen and rayon, ties are available in various other unique fabrics today. The latest entrant is the “vegan” tie. If you
cringe at the thought of using
real silk that is spun by silkworms you can opt for synthetic
silk ties which are man-made from vegan fabrics. You can also buy ties made from bamboo. This fabric looks and feels very similar to
cotton, but is more eco-friendly and sustainable.
Prints and weaves: Printed ties are popular because they are
less expensive than woven ties. The aye available
in paisley motifs, cartoon designs, polka dots, animal prints, pin dots,
checkered, stripes, floral and many more.
In woven ties, the weaving adds an element of texture weight and
sophistication. They are heavier, more
substantial, and make bigger knots when tied.
The texture also gives the tie’s design a 3 D effect.
Sizes: A lot of men don’t realize that ties are not
a ‘one size-fits –all’ kind of accessory.
There are ties made for short men, as well as extra long ties that fit
tall men or those with longer torsos.
The must-haves
Classic ties in colors includes black, blues greens,
reds, and gold, while conventional patters are striped, dots, plaid, club,
foulard and paisley that start with simple solids and stripes. When you move past half-a-dozen ties in your
wardrobe, you can start buying brighter and more complex patterned neckwear.
For office:
Pinstripes, pin dots and intricate ones.
For
a party: You can glam it up by experimenting with different
fabrics and texture by catching prints work well.
Make sure the wide end of the tie ends at the midpoint of
your belt
While holding the big end in place, create a dimple, swing the little end over the front of the big end and go around the back. Bring the little end up and over the front of the loop. Bring the little end through the loop and towards the right side (make sure the knot is tight).
Now bring that little end over the center (of the knot) to the other side and bring it towards the back again.
Bring the little end up over the top of the knot (make sure the knot is tight)
This is when it gets a little end behind and through the loop
Pull the little end through and tighten till you get a tight knot, bring the little end behind the loop.
Swing it up in front again. And over the top towards the back and to the opposite end
Go through the loop (keep it loose) in similar fashion to step 5.
Pull through and tighten the knot
Hide the remaining little end of the tie behind your loop.
