How to Tie a Fashion Knot Placing the Tie Around Neck
From the China to the rest of the world, the tie is major fashion accessory today.
It’s said ‘A man is judged by the shoes he wears.’ So how true is this today? Shoes do count but the ‘tie’ worn by a man can make a huge difference to his look as much as the shoes.
Today, the tie has gained immense importance among men across the globe, its the accessory that is worn to suit taste, occasion and fashion. From a piece of fabric draped around neck during the olden days, the tie has evolved into luxury wear. Its root is embedded deeply in history and an amalgamation of different cultures from numerous countries influenced the evolution of this particular men’s neck wear.
According to archaeologist, Chinese men were the first to wear tie. Neckties can be traced all the way back to about 200 BC during the period of Chinese dynasties. Soldiers from the Chinese terracotta army, all adorned neckwear, most likely made out of silk. Since silk was a luxury item, this demonstrated the high regard in which the Emperor held them.
In Britain, in the 1880s a group Oxford rowers from Exeter College took the ribbons from their hats and wore them around their necks. They then ordered ties to be made in these colours. More women began wearing ties, and trousers, during the first World War, as millions of women headed to offices and factories to fill the vacancies created by men at war.
Schools, clubs and universities also followed suit and it soon became the height of popular fashion.
