Black tie

Men's suits are used throughout the world as an attribute of business etiquette. There is not a single man who would not wear an elegant dress up for an official reception. The dress code requires aesthetic completeness of the image, so a black tie is considered a successful addition to a strict suit.

The rules of good tone in Britain and America in the XIX century, instructed gentlemen to wear a black tie for evening meetings after 18 hours. A semi-formal black tie was a less official piece of clothing than a white one.

Today, on the carpet paths you can often notice famous representatives of the creative environment and popular artists in sets consisting of a fashionable suit with a white shirt and a black tie.

The choice of tie color begins with the largest element in the ensemble - the jacket. If it is not, pick up a tie in the tone of his shirt. Therefore, a black tie is purchased for those shirts and jackets with which it is best combined in tone and style.

The version of such a combination accepted by conservatives in the world of men's fashion has long been defined and does not change. As a rule, it is recommended to wear official events with a black bow tie:

1. Woolen black or navy suit. Lapels of a jacket and trousers are sheathed by a silk braid.
2. White shirt, which is able to give a special chic to the whole ensemble.
3. Vest or wide belt.
4. Classic shoes made from matte or patent leather.

In addition to white, a tie made of black fabric is worn with other shirts designed in rich colors. For pastel shades choose the model of black ties with a pattern in a tone shirt. Rule number one says - first of all you need to pick up wardrobe items, taking into account the features of the face and body of a man. The more contrasts in appearance, for example, dark hair and light eyes, the more contrasting combinations are allowed in clothing.

Despite the fact that in a men's suit more than three different colors are not allowed, one can often find a mistaken opinion that a black tie and the same shirt form a successful combination. A tie in no case should not merge with the shirt, it dominates the tandem, and the shirt is chosen to tone lighter.

If there are patterns on the tie and shirt, they should be different in size.

• A cage or a strip on a shirt plus a black tie is a spectacular set that shows the observance of the traditions of good tone.

The shelves of men's clothing stores are full of elegant and attractive-looking ties. Despite all this splendor, you should take a closer look at him carefully and be ready to buy the highest quality and worthy tie.

Natural material will ensure that the model does not lose a decent appearance and will look status. Silk black tie is considered the most suitable for a classic suit. It should be smooth and without loose filaments. Along with silk, wool and cashmere, flax and satin are used as material for elite ties. Well proven and blended fabrics made from natural fibers. The main thing is that 100% wool is used for the lining. If you hang the tie at the narrow end in a vertical position, it will not curl. This moment also serves as an indicator of quality.

Products made of polyester bribe inexpensive price, but high quality, most likely, this model will not differ. Sticking up small hairs and puffs will appear on the tie rather quickly. In addition, the fabric from which the tie is made should not stretch - so it will quickly lose its shape.

The perfect tie is sewn from three parts. Connect them with seams on the machine. The remaining parts are sewn manually, and in this case on the label you can read “completed manually”. If the tie is made of two parts, it is much worse to take the shape of the neck.

The width of the tie is proportional to the width of your jacket lapels. The optimal is to choose a model with a width of 9-11 cm. In this case, even the highest collar will not allow a tie to look out from under it. The classic tie length is to the waist.
