Powerful Accessory of All Times

Classic ties are a timeless accessory. Classic men’s ties were a tradition of the past before they became a style statement for men around the globe. During the 17th Century, Croatians influenced this neat accessory across different cities of Europe.

In the past, classic ties were known as cravat, which in today’s times is known as a necktie or tie. Since then, men have given impeccably stylish classic ties an honorable place in their wardrobe. Even today, men’s suits are incomplete without the touch of classic ties.

How to Choose the Perfect Tie for Your Wardrobe?

Ties have their own inevitable charm. Each colour, each fabric, each texture gives your ensemble a dynamic change. All these small nuances of a tie complement each other, which then enhances your overall outfit for every occasion.

When choosing a tie, we recommend you taking a quick gander at your outfit. Let us look at how you can perfect your choice of classic ties.

Balance the width and length

Slim or narrow classic ties have always been a trendsetter. Other than our collection of slim ties, remember to pick an all-season workable tie. A standard tie, measuring 3.5” is an unmistakable choice. Whereas today’s collection of contemporary classic ties is less wide, ranging from 2.5” – 3.5”.

Before picking a suitable pattern or hue, checking the length of your tie also matters. While you coordinate the day’s outfit, your classic tie will speak of two things - elegance and effortlessness.

Needless to say, the standard length of a classic tie goes by about 57 inches. So, an apt way to elevate your look - make sure the tip of a classic men’s tie easily reaches the waistline, which is the belt.

Pick the right pattern

Consider your shirt as the empty playground for your classic tie. Your choice of pattern, whether paisley or checkered, should not intertwine the individual personalities of clothing. The pattern also accentuates the beauty of the outfit. Bearing that in mind, it should not sway away or be the highlight of your attire, but instead, should praise the entire outfit worn by you.

From checks to stripes to dots to solids, every pattern contrasts with your outfit, slightly. So, if you are fan of good old solids, begin with the colour of your shirt and pair it with a darker shade of a classic tie. For instance, a burgundy colour shirt matches well with a checkered or striped pattern of classic ties.

Another way around with a pattern – try sartorial path of patterns. A befitting way of choosing a pattern is by avoiding a jumble of two patterns. Let’s say you own a printed shirt, then pick a classic tie of a solid colour. For accessorizing a striped, blue shirt, go for a sleek dark black tie.

Irrespective of the colour, remember to avoid two completely different patterns in your attire. Along with shirts, we have a wide variety of classic men’s ties to complement your everyday look!

Ritual of pairing colours

We suggest you to pick the colour of your tie based on colour of your shirt.

One way – to pick primary colours. The pinks, oranges, blues, reds, blacks, whites and beiges rule the colour catalogue. For the ensemble to look striking, pair a darker colour of tie with any lighter shade of colour. This reflects the minimalistic pattern of your classic tie as well complements the modesty of your shirt.

Another way – to pick one colour of classic tie and shirt. This is known as monochromatic version, where duality of colour stays, and the darker colour of tie matches with the colour of the shirt. Such pairing barely goes wrong and looks dapper.

And another way – to pair subtle colours. While assembling a look, break the traditional mix match routine and go for subtle colours. How about picking a semi-casual shirt and throwing in a dark black silk classic tie? A classic match like this is approved by many fashion experts. As often and redundant it might be, it is the answer to every sartorial question.
