Neckwears or simply Neckties are a long piece of cloth, worn, usually by men, for decorative purposes around the neck, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat. Variants include the ascot, bow, bolo, zipper, cravat, and knit. The modern necktie, ascot, and bow tie are descended from the cravat. Neckties are generally unsized, but maybe available in a longer size. In some cultures men and boys wear neckties as part of regular office attaire or formal wear. Neckwears are traditionally worn with the top shirt button fastened, and the tie knot resting between the collar points.
3 Things To Consider When Choosing Neckwears For Ladies
Buy a Tie Long Enough to Graze the Top of Your Belt
Wear the right size tie to avoid looking costumey. The tongue of the tie should fall all the way down your torso to graze the very top of your belt. Anything shorter can look a little silly.
If your tie is too short, consider hiding it the end of it under a blazer or vest.
If you’re wearing a tie draped like a scarf, feel free to let it hang lower to play up the drama.
Choose a Pussy Bow to Create Both Modern and Vintage Looks
This is a great option if you want to create more feminine looks with some classy, vintage flare. Get one that’s thicker to go ultra-vintage. An ultra-skinny pussy bow can look very modern and, depending on the rest of your outfit, create an androgynous or avant-garde.
A pussy bow is a great accessory for power suits and flowy blouses.
Channel the 1920s by attaching a pussy bow to the bottom of a collared v-neck shirt or sweater.
Pussy bows are super versatile-they’ve been around since the early 1900s and they’re definitely having a comeback.
Stick to Classic Colours Neckwears and Thoughtful Patterns
To get the most versatility, choose ties and pussy bows that are solid white, black, navy, or taupe. If you plan to wear ties and bows as statement pieces, go for bold colours like electric blues, hot reds, bright pinks, emerald greens, or neon yellows. If you like patterns, choose polka dots, florals, geometric designs, or simple stripes-and be mindful about pairing the motif with other patterns.
For instance, pairing a paisley shirt with a floral tie might look too busy or clash you’re better off sticking with a solid colour tie or bow.
If you typically wear lots of solid colours head to toe, feel free to choose bold patterns and colours schemes for your tie or pussy bow to make a statement.
