Definition
The tie can be part of the collar or consist of attached straps. Depending on the fabric and weave, it looks classic, romantic, business-like or deliberately casual.
In simple words
The volume is close to the face and draws the eye upwards. A large bow appears present and soft, a deep, loose knot appears calmer and more vertical. Under blazers, the tie should have enough room so that it doesn’t get bunched or messy.
What to pay attention to
- Check whether the length and width of the straps fit your neck and upper body.
- Test several ties instead of always forming the tie into a large loop.
- Look for wrinkle-resistant fabrics if you want to wear them to business.
Common misconceptions
A pussy-bow blouse doesn’t have to be playful. Loosely tied or open ribbons can look very clean and modern.
ESKYNA mnemonic
The bow is a frame for the face - its connection decides between calm, severity and romance.
