Style legislators announced: the main thing in a tie is not the color and pattern, but the material from which it is sewn. To achieve the understated elegance of a suit, it is not necessary to spend weeks looking for a tie with the right stripe thickness. It is enough to choose the right fabric. From the variety of options, we have selected 9 of the most common.

Twill is the most common type of tie. It is sewn from a fabric resembling denim, with a distinct diagonal structure. It is believed that the more noticeable the texture of such a tie, the better.

Checkered ties are similar to grenadine ties, but their texture is smoother. The lack of volume is compensated by playing with color - the fabric for these ties is often woven from threads of two shades of the same color, for example, dark blue and blue.

Satin ties have a shiny surface, perfect for evening ensembles. They look good with soft wool suits, but during the day they should be worn with caution - in daylight, satin gives the impression of cheap chic. It is also worth avoiding the trend of the late 1990s to wear satin ties with colored shirts. Best of all, satin accessories are suitable for an evening suit, and then you should choose black or navy blue.

Knitted ties are soft, springy, and usually end in a square rather than a triangle, because a triangle is harder to make. The peak of popularity of this type of tie occurs on average once every 20 years. They were worn throughout the 1960s and 1980s, and they came back into fashion in the late 2000s. Knitted ties look best with sports jackets and simple jackets.

Knitted (knitted) ties- This is an informal version of regular ties. As a rule, they are made of silk or wool; synthetic materials and cashmere are also in use. Prices vary widely: from about a thousand to ten thousand rubles. In English, knitted ties are called knitted ties.

A bit of history

Knitted ties are a relatively new wardrobe item that appeared in the second half of the 20th century. They gained popularity in the 1960s - it is believed that not least thanks to Sean Connery, whose hero - James Bond - wore a knitted tie in the film Goldfinger. A little later, knitted ties spread among Italians, who today produce perhaps the most original and interesting models. Some knitted ties can be found among the French, the Germans, and, of course, the British.

However, knitted ties never became a truly mass accessory. Even today, few people wear them, especially in Russia.

Design

Knitted tie differs from ordinary woven in a straight bottom edge. In addition, it is quite narrow: the width of knitted ties ranges from 6-7.5 centimeters; 7-7.5 centimeters for a knitted tie is a completely acceptable, acceptable width. Narrower options are already a frank concession to fashion.

In appearance, a knitted tie sometimes resembles something long sock. Of course, such ties are “knitted” on a machine, no matter what the manufacturers say. Manually can sew a label and a loop on the reverse side; however, a loop on knitted ties is not always the case.

An important feature of a knitted tie is a thin, smooth strip, essentially breaking it into two parts. This does not mean that the manufacturer decided to save on wool or silk: the fact is that there is not much space under the shirt collar, so the part of the tie that will be under the collar is made thin, smooth (on the “inner” side) and narrow. Sometimes it also contrasts in color with the main material of the tie (as in the photo below).

Double-sided knitted ties should be mentioned; matching models are available from Brioni. In fact, buying a double-sided model, you get two ties at once. It could be called a bargain if Brioni's prices were a little less insane.

I will add that sometimes you can find knitted butterflies. They are, for example, in the assortment of Lanvin and Hilditch&Key.

materials

Firstly, knitted ties are made from synthetics - polyester or its more modern variety of microfiber. Sometimes there are blends of polyester and wool. As a rule, inexpensive ties are made from such materials - for example, H.E. By Mango.

Secondly, knitted ties are made from wool and silk. This option is preferable, as woolen and silk ties look more expensive and nobler than their synthetic counterparts.

Thirdly, the most expensive models can be made from cashmere or a mixture of cashmere and silk. An example is some Boglioli knitted ties. It is worth noting that cashmere is a very delicate, delicate material and requires a very careful attitude.

Colors and patterns

As a rule, knitted ties are plain, but striped and speckled models are quite common. Usually the color scheme is very restrained: black, gray, brown, blue and blue colors. But if you try, you can find knitted ties in red, pink, purple, yellow, orange and green tones. Dots can be multi-colored.

When to wear and what to wear

As Nicolo Antogiovanni writes, “knitted sports ties with a straight bottom edge are the least formal of all, they go well with button-down collars and are appropriate only with unpaired jackets and, perhaps, cozy tweed suits” (M .: Good book, 2008; p. 176). Cardigans and should be added to this list. And, of course, informal trousers and even jeans.

As for shoes, it is better to give preference to not too formal models; for example, on a rather thick sole (but a measure is good in everything!), Like, from suede or nubuck. However, and smooth skin is also a great option. Sports shoes (sneakers and sneakers), of course, should not be worn even with knitted ties.

A chest pocket handkerchief can be chosen from woolen or from a mixture of wool and silk. But the rest of the scarves can look quite nice. The main thing is that their color does not match the color of the tie.

Where to buy knitted ties and how much do they cost

Unfortunately, knitted ties are not popular in Russia and are rarely sold. Budget models can be viewed at Asos.com, Lamoda.ru and in multi-brand inexpensive stores. Slightly more expensive models may end up in Henderson branded stores; even more expensive ones live in Gents-stuff.ru (where, by the way, there are now 50% discounts - and this is a very attractive offer). Another option is foreign online stores, such as Mrporter.com and Barneys.com.

For several years now, one of the most interesting accessories for men is a knitted tie. Famous publications such as GQ and Esquire do not stop publishing men dressed in or styles, in knitted or knitted ties. Probably, there is not a single fashion house left that has not offered its fans its collection of casual ties for men. Let's see why the West liked knitted ties so much.

As a rule, knitted ties appear on the covers of magazines that are published during the cold seasons - autumn and winter. I think this is due to the fact that knitted accessory looks good with knitwear such as a cardigan, jumper or sweater. However, in my opinion, a knitted tie will suit or dress code not only in autumn or winter, but also in the warmer season.

So, what are the features of a knitted tie?

Knitted tie size

As a rule, today on sale there are ties with a width of 5 to 6.5 centimeters. Sometimes there are models over 7 centimeters, comparable to the width of a classic tie. Wide ties are more suitable for large men or if your jacket has wide lapels.

Knitted tie color

What color can a knitted tie be? I think it all depends on your mood or preferences. Some recommend choosing a knitted tie for the season: darker and muted tones are suitable for cold months, and bright and colored ones are suitable for warmer months. Available in stores today great amount both plain knitted ties, and multi-colored, copying the shades of classic ties.

Knitted tie pattern

Very popular retro style: a tie with polka dots, even horizontal stripes, or a tie with a pattern (for example, there is a tie sold with New Year's deer- looks great and uplifts the mood of others). By itself, a knitted tie has an interesting pattern of intertwining threads, so even a plain tie looks interesting. Turn on your imagination and choose one or another knitted tie for your style and don't be afraid to experiment;)
