Ties are pretty much the secret weapon of any stylish man’s wardrobe. The right tie can give you the swagger you need to walk into any room feeling like a total boss. Or they can add a touch a masculine elegance to any dinner suit that makes you look like a real James Bond. Personally, I love to wear zany, off the wall ties because why not take every opportunity to express your crazy?<\/p>\n
No matter how you like to wear them, here at Society19<\/em> we’ve put together some tie tips and overall looks that can help you be the sartorial talk of the town. Winning!<\/p>\n Your tie has to work well with the rest of your outfit as a mismatch can bounce you into a true stylistic disaster. Make sure to take a look in the mirror or better yet snap a selfie for the group chat. If we can’t trust our friends to call out a shocking tie what can we lean on them for?<\/p>\n A good rule is to generally keep it simple stupid. You want your tie to anchor the look, so solid staple colours are generally your best bet.<\/p>\n \n The Bow Tie has very quickly gone from its traditional tie-it-yourself black standby to the insanely popular cherry on top finisher to many dapper looks. With the wave of versatile and wearable bow-ties flooding the market, don’t be afraid to experiment as they work with a cotton sweater just as well as the trendiest of short suits.<\/p>\n Polka-Dot is a very dangerous print that can easily go in a concerning direction. The pin-dot is a more mature and reliable option. It’ll add a touch of smart, subtle and sophisticated cool to any suit. So don’t make the mistake, it is the season of PINS over POLKA!<\/p>\n I had to resist the opportunity to make a Game Of Thrones joke here. If it’s the middle of Winter you’ll want a woollen tie to complement your heavier-weight and warmer suits. So don’t be like John Snow and know something!<\/p>\n In fact, it can be lots of fun to match your tie to the seasons. So if it’s summer then you best believe it’s time for a cotton number.<\/p>\n \n The badge is actually a tie’s best friend. No exaggeration, a well-picked pin can set off a tie like tonic sets off gin. The particular pin is always influenced by your overall look, trust. So go for a fancy gold or silver number if you’re putting together a formal look for the gods. If you’re looking for a more casual vibe, then it’s all about something humourous and cute. Personally, I love to go with something political as nothing will start a conversation quicker than the statement tie paired with an actually important statement! Options, choices and decisions!<\/p>\n As men’s fashion moves away from being basic and route, old understandings of what a piece of clothing actually is have melted away. The same goes for ties, with designers reinventing our understandings of what a tie is. Think multi-layered structural fabrics, weird shapes and strange cultural references.<\/p>\n Yes, simplicity is important for more formal occasions. But that’s a rule. Interesting people always break the rules, reinvent them and throw them out the window. Why be basic? As men, we are put into boxes and expected to conform. This is a personal choice, but if your going to choose one element of your outfit to speak to your inner freak why not make it the tie? Maybe some go a little far, but I genuinely believe everyone is a little psycho. Let the tie speak to this and go crazy!<\/p>\n \n Ties are pretty much the secret weapon of any stylish man’s wardrobe.
