History of the tie

According to one version, humanity owes its appearance to the warriors of ancient China. A piece of cloth around their neck served as protection from the piercing winds.

According to another - the Romans: speakers tied scarves around their necks, thus warming their ligaments on the eve of the upcoming speech; legionnaires were passionate fans of these scarves, which protected their skin from friction with their armor.

Another version tells of Croatian mercenaries wearing neckerchiefs, used during battles to distinguish friend from foe.

The concept of a “tie” (“cravate” in French) was first used during the time of Louis XIV, when men wore lace scarves. There was even a position - Kravatje - this man served as the supplier of these products to the king himself.

And mass popularity came to them by the end of the 17th century, when not a single dandy and dandy in Europe could do without a dozen scarves in their wardrobe. And then it became fashionable to wrap scarves several times. The men, with their chins up, now looked slightly arrogant. Special clubs were also created where anyone could learn how to tie such a scarf beautifully, as well as wear it correctly.

With turn-down collars, the first ties, the ancestors of today's, came into fashion from the English aristocrats. Visitors and participants in equestrian competitions, members of yacht clubs now had to compete with each other in newfangled accessories.

At the same time, the whole science of properly tying a tie was born. Books were published with stories about how to create the most extraordinary “knots” on the neck.
Russia learned about the tie in the times of Peter the Great, as a scarf from the German “hals” - neck and “tuch” - scarf.

But it was only in 1924 that the two- or three-piece tie familiar to modern people saw the light of day. Today, a huge number of technologies for tying ties are known, and no one is surprised by the fashion for tie knots.

Quarter or “Four” or “Four in hand”

The method is one of the oldest. Known since the 19th century. It is known that two hundred years ago members of a gentlemen’s club called “Four in hand” tied their ties this way. They are credited with this invention.

This knot is slightly asymmetrical in shape, and even looks careless. But that’s exactly how it should be, that’s its charm. And the shirt is chosen so that the collar of the knot is covered.

But the knot is voluminous, complex, beautiful, and it is better to tie it on a narrow, thin tie without a spacer.
The knot is classic, beginners master it quite easily. Even the oldest familiar tie will be transformed with this knot and will look expensive and stylish.

• its width can vary, this is directly affected by the length of the tie, as well as its ends, which can be swapped when tying;
• The width of the collar also matters; the knot is massive, voluminous and will look most successful when the corners of the collar are at a considerable distance from one another.

"Half Windsor" or "Plain Windsor"

Another universal node. It will look great with any shirt, but it is better if the corners of the collar are wide apart. It is preferable to knit it from lush and dense fabrics, like wool. Asymmetrical and very compact.

Half-Windsor step by step photo and diagram:

This knot will look equally elegant if it is slightly straightened or knocked down until folds appear.

The bow tie

Appearing in the distant 1700s, it is still used today. And with the invention of the tuxedo in 1886, it clearly found its place. The elegance and nobility that a bow tie gives to this outfit leaves no one indifferent. The success of this accessory is ensured by the fact that it is already on sale in a tied form.

There are many other, no less common knots that have been known for centuries. This:

Cross knot

“Cross knot” (“Square” or “Christensen”), which for some reason is called Italian, even though it was invented by Swedish designer Amanda Christensen a hundred years ago. The knot is quite complex, designed for narrow ties made from thin fabrics. It will hide all the shortcomings of a man’s thick neck.

Eldridge

“Eldridge” is, of course, a non-standard knot, but quite effective. It is unlikely that you will be able to tie it on the first try. This invention from Jeffrey Eldridge is only ten years old. But in this short period of time he gained both popularity and his admirers. There are not very many knots that are tied when the edge on the right is wide and short, and the edge on the left is long and narrow. Eldridge diagram:

American

“American” or “Pratt” is a knot that will never untie itself, the creation of which was announced by two Americans. The only difference was that when John Shelby talked about how to tie it on a local TV station (1989), Jersey Pratt had already been tying his tie this way for thirty years. American diagram and photo:

Trinity

Trinity is an original knot consisting of three elements. It is one of the few that is tied when the wide edge of the tie worn around the neck (right) is shorter than the narrow one (left). Another peculiarity of it is that it is customary to put the end under the shirt collar, and not under the wide part of the tie. Trinity scheme:

Diagonal

“Diagonal” or “Diagonal” is an elegant knot, but complex and unusual even for a specialist. It looks great on cashmere and silk ties in light shades. And it was first described in the “Book of Ties”, 1985, by the authors D. Mosconi and R. Villarosa. Diagonal diagram and photo:

1. Four-In-Hand Knot. Also known as the Simple Tie Knot, the Quadruple Tie Knot, or the Italian Tie Knot.

The knot is considered universal because it is easy to tie and looks beautiful and neat.

The knot is unpretentious in terms of either the material or the length of the tie, but it holds its shape especially well on a wide tie made of dense material.

You can tie it easily - in just 4 steps, so it is especially popular among beginners.

2. Half Windsor Knot- “Half Windsor Tie Knot” or simply “Half Windsor Tie Knot.”

This knot, derived from the Windsor knot, is preferred by most men.

It looks neat, has the shape of an even triangle and is medium in size. It is larger than the Four-In-Hand knot, but smaller than the Windsor knot.

This knot will work on many ties, regardless of their width and fabric from which they are made, but it looks ideal on thin and medium-weight fabrics.

3. Full Windsor Knot- “Windsor tie knot” or “Windsor tie knot.”

It is a tie with a Windsor knot that men most often wear in everyday life.

The shape of the knot is a symmetrical wide triangle. The Duke of Windsor, whose tie was named after, preferred ties made of thick material, on which a wide tie knot looked good.

It is practical to wear and easy to tie. But for men who want to look original, it is better to learn other ways to tie a tie knot.

A wide-set bias collar looks great when paired with a knot like this.

In order for such a knot to look beautiful, the tie should be 4 cm longer than usual. Despite its massiveness, it is comfortable to wear, since the neck is not compressed with such a knot.

4. Nicky knot- “Nicky’s tie knot.” Also known as the New Classic Tie Knot, the Olney Tie Knot, or the Free American Tie Knot!

The knot is elegant because its triangle is quite narrow and inverted. The material should be medium in weight and the tie should be long.

The shape of the knot resembles a pyramid, it is similar to the Plattsburgh knot. Patterned ties combined with this knot look sophisticated and luxurious.

Tying it is not so easy; it takes time and some skill.

5. Bow-Tie- "The bow tie"

At first glance, a bow tie dressed with an elastic band and a bow tie tied with your own hands do not have any difference, but a person who understands this issue sees the difference.

You will feel comfortable if you master the technique of tying a bow tie.

For these purposes, a knee that imitates the neck and has a girth commensurate with it is best suited. This knot is combined with a winged collar - this is a standing collar with bent corners.

If you have a simple regular collar, then a bow tie will also go well with it.

6. Oriental knot- “Oriental tie knot.” Also called "Small Tie Knot", "Oriental Tie Knot", "Asian Tie Knot", "Red Tie Knot".

The oriental knot is small in size and can be tied in 3 steps.

The knot is elegant and looks great on voluminous ties made from heavy types of fabric: woolen, knitted, wicker, etc.

Beginners should not master this knot, since they need to get used to it.

Otherwise, it may come undone at the most inopportune moment or may not look very neat.

7. Kelvin knot- "Kelvin Tie Knot"

You need to wrap the wide end of the accessory around the knot again. The result will please you - a small elegant knot will appear in front of you, clear, dense and symmetrical.

The tie is tied with the seam facing out. The knot is considered a purl, but the seam is not visible, but is completely hidden under the collar.

The Pratt knot bears the name of its inventor, who worked for the American Chamber of Commerce.

He received his second name - Shebli - in honor of the famous American reporter, who unwittingly made him popular by constantly being on air in a tie with just such a knot.

Americans prefer to wear this knot. It is discreet, moderately wide and has its own peculiarity: a short tie is also suitable for it.

But such a knot will not look good on accessories that are too long. It goes well with shirts that have a narrow collar.

9. St Andrew Knot- "St. Andrew's Tie Knot." Also called "St. Andrew's Knot" or "St. Andrew's Knot".

The knot received its name in honor of the Apostle Andrew, crucified on an oblique cross.

This knot is tied exactly like this: crosswise. It is considered universal, you can try it on different ties.

It will definitely look good if the tie is wool and plain.

St. Andrew is suitable for both everyday wear and a suit for a special occasion. It looks presentable in combination with wide collars.

10. Balthus knot- “Balthus tie knot.”

Balthus is the largest knot in size. It is large, wide, and cone-shaped.

It was invented by the Swiss artist whose name it bears. The inventor of the knot presented his “innovation” in a somewhat strange way: the wide end of the tie lay on his chest, and the narrow end reached his waist.

If you prefer this knot, then practice well to be able to tie it, otherwise it will look unpresentable and sloppy.

The knot turns out beautiful from light and thin fabrics.

11. Hanover knot- “Hanover tie knot.”

"Hannover" is a knot that forms a symmetrical triangle. It belongs to large knots and is larger than the Windsor.

This type of knot is suitable for collars with a wide neckline.

If you ignore this rule, the shape of the knot may become distorted or the collar may protrude.

In terms of shape, Plattsburgh is classified as an asymmetrical node.

13. Grantchester knot- “Grantchester tie knot.”

Grantchester looks like a large knot. A long tie will suit him.

It is large even when made from a narrow tie and light fabric.

In order to tie it, you need to learn 9 steps, which not everyone will like.

Grantchester is best for short men. It goes best with a “Shark” collar.

14. Victoria knot- “Victoria tie knot.”

The knot is remarkable against the background of a thin, out-of-shape tie. In appearance, “Victoria” looks like a simple knot.

The difference is the additional thickening, since the tie fabric is wrapped 2 times around the loop.

Thanks to this, Victoria is optimally suited for tying thin or heavily worn ties.

15. Eldredge Knot- “Eldridge Tie Knot.”

If you're looking for a unique look, check out the 15 steps required to create an Eldridge Knot.

Men who choose Eldridge for themselves should exercise caution, since the knot is quite “capricious”.

16. Trinity knot- “Trinity Tie Knot.”

Trinity is an unusual knot that appeared not so long ago, but is becoming more popular every year.

It has an asymmetrical shape, which maintains interest in this node.

A person who has learned to tie it attracts attention and stands out from the crowd.

To acquire the necessary skill you need to practice a little.

17. Christensen knot- “Christensen tie knot.” Also called the “Cross Tie Knot” and the “Square Tie Knot.”

Christensen is suitable for high collar shirts. It looks beautiful on both narrow and wide ties.

The knot is effective for ties made of wool, cashmere or other dense fabrics.

It is easy to adjust, has a small volume and fits comfortably.

Basic rules for wearing a tie

1. The end of the tie should reach the belt buckle.

2. You cannot tuck your tie into your pants.

3. Its width should be commensurate with the width of the jacket lapels, but should not be wider.

4. If you prefer to wear your collar open, then it is better not to wear a tie.

5. The tie does not require the simultaneous use of both hairpins and pins - your image will be “overloaded”. Use any of the listed elements, but only one.

6. Choose a knot according to your face type. So, for example, if you have a narrow face, a massive knot should not introduce disharmony into the image.

8. There is no need to combine tie and clothing colors such as checkered, striped, or patterns of the same size. For example, your suit has thin stripes, then your tie can have a wide stripe. You are wearing a flashy shirt, then the tie should be in calm tones.

9. First buy a suit, and then buy a tie.

The existing rules, like the concept of a “fashionable tie knot,” can be considered subjective and relative. You've probably come across the fact that there are men who wear a tie contrary to existing rules and look quite presentable and non-trivial.

There are no strict rules or restrictions for a tie that adorns a woman's delicate neck - wear them as you please.

Try the accessory not only with suits, try wearing it with a T-shirt or even a dress. Experiment, find new unusual images for yourself!

This advice is not just for women. Men also want to look great and dress beautifully.

After all, there are so many seductive women around...

Delight yourself with new suits, shirts, pair them with incredibly stylish ties and celebrate this unusual holiday with joy!

We correctly place accents in the wedding look - a tie and everything connected with it

A tie is considered the most traditional, integral part of the groom's image. It adds solemnity and formality, testifies to the serious attitude of its owner to the ceremony, as to the beginning of a new stage in life, and also once again demonstrates taste in clothing and the groom’s skill in maintaining status in details.

How to quickly tie a tie - the classic way

So, having decided on the color, pattern, type of material of the accessory in question, the question rightfully arises of how to tie this very tie correctly and beautifully. Scientists have calculated that there are 85 ways to tie this item of clothing. But, of course, it is not necessary to know them all. For everyday life, knowledge of several techniques will be sufficient to give the accessory a neat, status and elegant look. Different tying methods provide different results - knots can be either large or compact. When choosing one or another method to use, you need to remember that the quality of the fabric is important here. If the material is dense and heavy, then, accordingly, tying such a tie in a knot that looks voluminous means setting yourself up for failure - it will turn out rude and cumbersome. In this case, it is better to use a method that creates a classic knot, ideal for any category of fabric and type of collar. If the ends of the collar of a shirt are widely spaced against each other, then you can tie a large knot; if not, then a simple, classic one.

The most common and frequently used tying methods are the following types: simple knot, Windsor, half-Windsor, Pratt.

Let us consider in detail, step by step, the creation of the most universal, easiest and suitable even for beginners method of tying a simple knot, also called a quarter knot or Four-in-hand. The history of the appearance of this method is associated with English cab drivers, who supposedly tied their ties using this method, in which it was securely fastened and did not interfere with fast driving. It is difficult to verify the authenticity of this fact, so let’s move directly to the process and try to correctly tie such a knot ourselves.

Stage 1. The tie is placed around the neck so that the narrow end is on the left and the wide end on the right; it should be 30 cm below the opposite end.

Stage 2. The wide end is wound crosswise behind the narrow one.

Stage 3. The same wide end is held over the narrow one, and a kind of winding movement is performed;

Stage 4. Through the formed loop between the collar and tie, the wide end is passed from the bottom up.

Stage 5. Now the wide end is pulled into the same loop from top to bottom, while the knot must be held with your index finger so that it does not accidentally tighten.

Stage 6, final. By pulling out the wide end, we carefully form a knot, aligning it in the center. If you managed to tie the tie correctly, it should turn out tight, but in no case loose. It is quite acceptable that the knot will be slightly asymmetrical; this is considered the norm.

This simple method just described is suitable for any occasion - both solemn and official. It looks equally excellent both on products made from soft, thin fabrics and those made from dense, hard material. A groom wearing a tie tied using this method will look moderately serious and, undoubtedly, attractive. Moreover, he himself will be able to tie such a classic knot using the tips listed above.

Subtleties of choice - all about color, texture, size

Choosing the appropriate tie, much less tying it, is a serious and difficult matter. Naturally, you need to start looking for a suitable accessory when you have already purchased a suit, chosen a shirt, shoes and a belt. The item in question should form an organic ensemble with other items of the holiday wardrobe, in no case merging with them either in the texture of the materials used or in the shades of the color palette. The traditional rule is that, ideally, a tie should be a shade lighter than the material of the suit, and a shade darker than the material of the shirt. However, the idea of ​​many wedding designers that an accessory may well be a bright accent in an image deserves approval. It is important when choosing colors to rely on those shades that are present in the wardrobe of the wedding couple. The optimal option is when the tie is combined with some element in the bride’s image, for example, shoes or a handbag.

The material used to make a tie can be silk, satin, jacquard or affordable polyester. Here you can take the initiative, the main thing is that the texture of the fabric fits perfectly into the overall image. The product can be either monochromatic, which is very justified with a suit with small stripes, or with a pattern that perfectly matches a suit in one color.

Long and narrow models with a vertical pattern should not be chosen by thin and tall men. Such models are more suitable for short grooms. Large men with a dense build can be advised to use wider models that will create an image without disturbing the proportions.

The classic length of the accessory in question is 11-12 cm, for tall grooms – 13 cm. The golden rule that must be followed when including this accessory in your wardrobe, regardless of the solemnity of the occasion for which it is worn, is that the end of the tie should be 2 below the belt cm.

With the help of accessories, men can emphasize their individual style, as well as correctly place accents. Stylists say that every modern man's wardrobe should include a strict classic suit, as well as a white shirt and tie. Many men underestimate the importance of a tie, although this accessory is an integral attribute of a complete look.

The refusal to wear a tie can be justified by the fact that not every man knows the rules for designing this accessory. There are many types of tie knots, such as , . For those new to this business, stylists have developed a simple way to tie a tie that a man without any skills can do. There are many types of knots that can be used to highlight different styles of clothing. In addition, designers offer many types of ties for different occasions.

Before learning how to properly style a simple tie knot, a man needs to learn how to choose one. First you need to pay attention to the width of the stripes of the tie; a wide tie is more suitable for men with a strong physique, and the length is selected according to the man’s height. If a man is inclined to be overweight, it is better for him to choose an accessory with images of oval and round lines; for men with bright facial features and a strong-willed chin, geometric patterns are suitable.

Now you should pay attention to the rules of wearing a tie in order to choose a simple way to tie a tie in the future. Stylists highlight the following wearing rules:

• after tying the tie into a knot, its length should cover the belt buckle;
• the optimal tie length is 9 cm;
• the knot must be tightened tightly, but without folds or excessive bruising;
