The man that owns the art style and knows how to look imposing even in suits of low quality, do not give out charisma or external charm. It gives a tie. An elegant man knows how to choose ties to a particular jacket and shirt — depending on circumstances — while avoiding mistakes.

The origin of the tie is unknown, although there are a number of theories. In the most famous version, the scarves, which were tied around the neck of Croatian soldiers in the seventeenth century, marked the beginning of the history of men's necktie. No doubt that the modern tie is a direct descendant of the white starched neckerchief that Brummell introduced in men's fashion in the early nineteenth century. Since "being at the front meant "to be in the tie."

Choose a really good ties and know which one is combined with a particular jacket and shirt, help a few reliable rules:

Fabric
The best ties are entirely made of silk, as it is more durable and wear resistant than other fabrics. However, wool and cashmere ties are beautifully combined with planulae and tweed in winter, linen, blended fabric (linen and silk) and Irish poplin (silk and wool) suit for summer. All other tissues an invalid.

Folds
As for the folds — only hair gives a good host, and thus returns to its previous state after the outbreak, being, therefore, ready for the next time. Good ties always go and pouring the Ute in manual — these are not rigid and lifeless, like a machine, on the contrary, ties are handmade always elastic and plastic.

Loop

A good tie loop that holds the narrow end of the tie ("blade") made of the same material as that of the wide part of the tie ("language") and enclosing the rear part of the front seam. Such a loop is the only right decision. Most often the narrow end of the tie under seasoned labels of the manufacturer, as a result, they bloom around the edges. Bottom both ends of the tie is stitched with the same material. However, most quality ties are not stitched at the ends, and entirely made from a square piece of silk. Fold it several times and do not supply wool lining, so the tie lends weight to himself.

Width
English traditional width tie — 8 cm, narrow tie. At the other end of the spectrum are the ties that prefer the Italians: the breadth of mental abuse, they are often wide. And although the rest of their ties are among the best in the world, it should be chosen carefully — only if the width does not exceed 10 cm Is the extreme limit allowed by decency.

Color

The predominant color of the tie should come to the tone color of a shirt or jacket, or to Supplement them. For example, a yellow necktie will suit to a blue blazer and blue and white shirt. When I tie two leading colors, in this case at least one must be suitable to the color of the shirt or the color of the jacket. Ties, which combine three or more colors, are especially showy in dim environment. The combination of colorful multicolored tie with a shirt or a jacket looks defiant. However, such a decision can be beautiful, if you pay enough attention to the combination and contrast of colors.

Men who dress with taste, change the tone of the ties depending on the season: bright and vivid the colors are in the spring and summer; dark and muted in winter and autumn.

Official
Ties in dark colours are referred to more formal than light.

But the true measure of formality of the tie. Sometimes even bright tie may look stronger than dark. Silk ties any more formal than linen, wool or cashmere. Striped ties are mainly informal, however, depending on the tone and the overall ensemble, are able to give the image of rigor. By the way, striped tie should be in every man, because it visually reduces the large face and gives him vague soft features of clarity.

The official list begins with spotted ties; neckties with geometric patterns (in a cage, the bars, mesh and others) even more official, especially when they are woven.

White, black or silver wedding ties are considered. Wear them on special occasions.

Nodes

A major node is relevant only in combination with a collar, whose corners are located at a considerable distance from each other, and is suitable only a man with a full neck and a large head.

Most of the men knotted the tie so that the center of the lower node, it produces a small indentation, through which the upper end of the tie to drape properly. Others believe that these hollows require great manual dexterity, and choose a soft rounded nodes without basins, which are denser than the tie. It should be understood that in this case, it's not about the skill to make the knot and in the cut of the concrete tie.

With regard to care for the tie, untying it should, performing the steps in reverse order, but do not pull the short end, as the silk stretches.

Every man, adhering to the above rules, will be able to pick up a shirt, tie jacket so that together they form a harmonious combination of colors with the required formality, in other words — he will be dressed perfectly!
