Bow tie – It’s different from the regular neck tie

2009-12-28T06:16:00.000-08:00

If you are tired off the regular neck ties, don’t get upset there are different neck scarfs and bow ties available that is sure to add some change to your routine.

If you are tired off with the same pattern of tying a neck tie each time, you can simply change a little to your routine with the help of bow tie. Bow tie is one of the fashion accessories worn with suits or dinner jackets. It is made up of a ribbon fabric that could be tied around the collar in a symmetrical manner so that the two opposite ends form loops.

There are ready- tied bow ties where a distinctive bow is sewn into shape and the band tied around neck has a clip. Bow ties could be made of silk, polyester or mix of fabrics.
Tying a bow tie is also not so difficult that you can’t tie it yourself. After wearing your outfit or formal wear just follow the below mentioned instructions:
You should start with the left end that should be 4 cm longer than the right end. Then slip the short end under the long end.
Next you need to choose how much loose you want the tie to be. You can take the collar button as the reference point and finish crossing the long end over the short end.
Still holding the tie at the button to keep it loose, you need to slip the long end under the short end.
Zig-zag the end on your chest whereby one fold is the wide part of the tie.
After you finish the zig–zag, fold the long flap over the front of tie.
Pinch the front of the tie in half and then swing the long flap to the right.
Push the pinched corner through the hole and flatten the right half of the front.
Slip a finger into the left bow and even up the three layers on the right half while pulling the left bow through the hole.
Grip all the three layers on the right and pull the left bow through the hole.
Then you need to flatten the left half of the front and straighten the tie.
Next tuck the shirt points between tie’s thin strip and the bow tie.
You have completed the entire process and if you want to untie pull the single ends. That’s it.

A guide on how to buy neck tie for your wedding

2009-12-28T06:09:00.000-08:00

If it is your wedding time and you don’t know how to manage a good neck tie then these tips shall be quite useful for you.

It is your wedding time and you are trudging all around endless shops on the weekends and not getting what you want. You shall easily find the perfect tie for your outfit if you consider some simple things.

Always consider that tie or cravats what is going to suit however ties are cheaper but cravats shall look great. Think about bow ties and cummerbunds, match of the wedding color scheme, buy or hire and how you are going to take care and clean.

Ties or cravats
Although cravats are more popular for formal wedding, they are more expensive than the ties and are not worn in daily routine. A good quality silk neck tie will also be a nice choice if it matches with your outfit.

Cummerbunds or bow tie
Some of you may prefer bow ties instead of neck ties that also come in various colors and styles. Bow ties can be self tied or pre tied but the range of pre tied ones is far more than the self tied. Many bow ties come with matching cummerbunds and could be ideal match for your wedding dress.

Matching color scheme
If your wedding color scheme is “standard” color, you can choose a close match ties or cravats that are widely available.

To hire or buy
In formal weddings, suits and other items can be hired or purchased whereby if you hire the item, you can save a considerable amount of money especially in the case of suits. In neck ties, it could be more difficult because the shop could have a limited number of ties or cravats. The most popular wedding neck ties come in plain polyester satin or silk fabric that you can hire at $10 -$15 for a fair good value.

Clean and take care of your ties
Once you have bought your ties, make sure that they are not creased or crumpled. For this, lay them flat or hang on a tie rack. While you try them, you should completely undo nay knots and hang up the tie for couple of days so that the lines from the knot clear. If on the day of wedding something spills on the tie just dab it with a dry cloth so that it soaks up as much as possible. If it is something like fruit juice or gravy let it dry and then gently dab it with the narrow end of the tie. Silk and polyester fabric reacts differently so this method will help a little. Don’t iron the tie for any reason and never iron it directly instead cover it with a cotton cloth and then iron on a cool setting.
