A stylish casual suit style for this spring!

#FreestyleFridays

Look at the model wearing a light-colored shirt with chalk stripes on it. He has coupled this shirt with a blazer that has close-tufted cord-like patterns on it. This is more like a corduroy blazer. Both the shirt and the blazer blend well in style owing to the vertical stripes. However, the right button wear is a light-colored pant without pleats. Wearing a casual watch and shoes completes this casual attire.

Tom Hiddleston’s ensemble is definitely an inspiration!

What is the difference between a cravat and an ascot tie?

#TeachingsTuesdays

Most often, men interchangeably use ‘cravat’ for ‘an ascot tie’. That is why we’re here to define each of them!

A cravat is an umbrella term for neckwear like bowties, neckerchiefs, or neckties, including ascot ties. It has its origins in France, where Croatian mercenaries used them in the seventeenth century.

On the other hand, an ascot is a special type of necktie. Though rarely found in the United States these days, men in England still prefer these ties to accessorize their morning formal dress.

“Most people don’t take clothing seriously enough, but whether we should or not, clothes do talk to us.” —G. Bruce Boyer

#MotivationalMondays

Bruce is a renowned figure when it comes to menswear journalism. Most of his quotes resonate well with fashionistas. Particularly, this quote revolves around people’s misconceptions or assumptions that clothes don’t matter.

When appearances matter in the first impression of a person, how come they cannot be taken seriously? Of course, clothes do talk to us and give us a perception of the person. So, next time you buy or wear clothing, pay attention and make wise decisions. Stay in touch with us for more inspiration!

Choosing the Perfect Tie for Your Suit

A tie is one of the integral accessories of a suit

A tie is one of the integral accessories of a suit and it requires special attention when it comes to pairing. Of course, there are a variety of options in colors, patterns, fabrics, styles, etc. But you cannot wear them just by picking one from your wardrobe. Basically, you must learn what tie etiquette is and how to choose the right tie for your suit.

Also, the notion of this blog is to educate those who’ve forgotten about a tie as working from home has become the new normal. However, things are changing, and people are returning to the office after the pandemic. Hence, it is high time to learn something about choosing the perfect tie for your suit. 

Choosing the color of the tie

The color of your tie must always contrast with the color of your shirt. Only then can people notice the differences between your suit and shirt. In other words, if your suit is light-colored, wear a light-colored tie with a dark dress shirt in the background and vice versa. If you find it difficult to complement a tie, at least try matching the color tone of your suit. 

Choosing the tie pattern

Neckties are umpteen in different patterns—stripes, checks, spots, paisley, tartans, etc. It is worth wearing a heavily patterned tie when you wear a simple, plain, solid suit. One important rule with patterns is the “rule of two.” It means you can wear a patterned shirt and patterned tie or a patterned suit and patterned tie. But do not wear all three with patterns.     

Choosing the right tie size 

Though choosing the size becomes a secondary option when compared to the tie color and pattern, they play an important role in balancing the style and proportion of your suit. The rule is pretty simple. If you’re wearing a slim fit or trimmed suit, choose a slimmer tie and not a wide one. Alternatively, if you’re wearing a double-breasted or wide-lapelled suit, a wider tie will look great.    

Choosing the fabric of your tie

As mentioned earlier, if you give up on complementing the tie color, your savior is the texture of the fabric. Yes, it can make your outfit look appealing when chosen correctly. For example, a silk tie is preferable when you wear a posh wedding suit. On the other hand, an ordinary cotton tie is preferable when you wear a linen or cotton-blend casual suit. 

The ideal length for a necktie!

In general, taller and stronger men prefer wearing longer ties and vice versa. But the ideal length of a necktie is when it touches your belt. The reason is much more logical—a necktie must hide all the buttons on the dress or button-down shirt.

Choosing the tie knot

The type and size of the knot depend on the occasion and style of the suit you’re wearing. For formal occasions, wear a formal or neutral tie. For informal events, wear a showy tie with a noticeable knot type. However, most men prefer the regular “American Knot” almost for all occasions as it looks neat, simple, and neutral.    

ConclusionSo far, in this blog post, we have learned how to choose the right necktie for your suit. Stay tuned to learn more about tying a tie, bow ties, etc. Check out the latest trends in men’s suit fashion here!
