Okay, let’s start with the specific content introduction!

1. How to judge the quality of a tie?

The quality of a tie is mainly related to three factors: fabric, lining and production process.

Fabric

At present, the fabrics of ties on the market mainly include silk, wool, linen, and knitted. Among them, silk fabric is the best and the most formal fabric , which feels very smooth, shiny, and has a good color. However, some fabrics may not be pure silk, and some polyester materials may be mixed in. This kind of fabric is not easy to distinguish, so don’t buy a tie from a miscellaneous brand easily.

The other fabrics are more casual and are sold less frequently on the market. Knitted fabrics are the heaviest, so the tie should be smoother. Wool and linen look similar to silk, but feel much rougher.

This is silk.

wool

This is linen.

knitted

Lining

The lining is a lining board added inside it, you can also think of it as something like cardboard. But it is definitely not cardboard, but the role of the lining is the same as that of the cardboard, which is to make the tie more straight and three-dimensional.

The lining is the key to determine the quality of a tie. The lining of a tie must have good elasticity and toughness, because ties are often folded. If the lining does not have good elasticity and toughness, it is easy to deform after several bends. The more elastic and tough the tie is, the more three-dimensional and beautiful it looks.

Craftsmanship

A tie is made of a whole piece of cloth. The more times it is folded, the more difficult it is to make and the higher the corresponding cost. However, the more times it is folded, the more drape and three-dimensional the tie will appear. Therefore, the more times a tie is folded, the better the quality. Currently, the folding times of ties on the market are 3, 5, 7, and 9. For the ties we wear daily, only three folds are needed. Then the better ties will have lining, while the worse ones will not have lining, and you can’t see it anyway. The left one in the picture below has lining, while the right one does not.

summary

Therefore, when choosing a good quality tie, make sure to choose silk, with a lining that is more resilient and has more creases.

2. What kind of tie should be worn on different occasions?

The occasions in which we wear ties can generally be divided into two categories: formal and informal.

The style of a tie is mainly determined by its width and pattern. First of all, the width of a tie is generally around 8cm, and there are very few narrow ones that are as narrow as 5cm. The width of a tie does not affect its formality. Generally, people with a wider physique choose a wider one, while people with a thinner physique choose a narrower one.

The main colors of ties are solid color, stripes, polka dots and prints. Their formality is solid color > stripes > polka dots > prints. Solid color is the most formal, stripes and polka dots are similar, and prints are the least formal. So the most common colors on the market are solid color, stripes and polka dots. Generally, thin people can choose polka dots, and those with a wider body can choose stripes. Solid colors are more suitable for all body types.

Purchase suggestions:

If you wear a tie in a formal occasion, it is best to choose a silk, solid color, striped or polka dot patterned tie . If you only wear a tie to match your clothes and do not wear it in formal occasions, wool, knitted and linen fabrics can also be listed as alternatives. There are not so many restrictions on the pattern, you can choose a regular solid color or a printed one. If you want to choose other patterns, it is best to choose the same base color as your suit, so that it will be easier to match.

3. What are the well-known brands?
