Narrow tie

Trends in the development of world fashion show us such a garment accessory, like a narrow tie. They were fashionable in the sixties of the last century. Suffice it to recall the Beatles musicians. Later, by the eighties, the width of the tie increased to 8-10 cm or more. Now again, more and more often you can see narrow (already 6 cm), ties. It is “narrow” and not “thin”, because when they talk about thin, they often mean ties made of thin fabric. The tip of the tie can be the usual diamond-shaped, and can be rectangular, it is even more stylish.

Tie material can also be quite diverse. Of course, silk comes first, it's a classic. Other natural fabrics are completely acceptable - cashmere, wool, cotton, flax and their combination with silk. Ties knitted from wool or acrylic yarn look very good. Incomparable in elegance leather ties, they can be a highlight of both male and female wardrobe. A separate group - ties, laces (Bolo).

If you are dressed in a business style, then both the tie and the suit should be presented in the same color scheme. Undoubtedly, the meaning of the color of a tie is very important, therefore, compliance with some rules is required:

• White tie - It is traditionally a tie of lawyers, judges and notaries. If you do not belong to them, then it is better not to wear a white tie.

• Black tie underlines the official event. It should be remembered that black color is associated by many people with mourning, therefore at business negotiations and ceremonial receptions it is better to do without a black tie so as not to create a gloomy mood. Small color will help to revive the black color.

• Yellow - associates persistence.
• Purple a tie will add mystery to its owner.

Their rules exist in the choice of a tie. The tie should be darker than the suit, and the shirt should be lighter than the tie. A monochromatic tie will suit the patterned shirt and vice versa, a patterned tie will fit a monotone shirt. Ties with an oblique strip and repeating geometric patterns (diamonds, zigzags, "cucumbers") are considered classic.
