All ‘Tied’ up with COTTON & COTTON Ties
It's a small thing-- a long piece of cloth worn for decorative purposes around the neck or shoulders, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat. But it’s these details which make an inherently classy and stylish gentleman stand out from a ‘wannabe’.
When you're sporting a tie, you can pretty much gain entry anywhere --whether you're suiting up for the office or getting decked up for a formal evening-- a tie allows you to bring together the disparate elements of your wardrobe with a touch of texture or complementary color. It completes the most elite of suits and adds veneer to a casual dress shirt. If you learn to do it correctly—balance the width of the tie against your lapels and shirt collar, find a knot that fits your face—you'll have dressing right all tied up.
The Tie is the first thing people notice about your outfit, so the fashion connoisseurs at COTTON & COTTON will help introduce you to the finest ties, how they should be worn and cared for.
COTTON & COTTON ties-- patterned and plain; subtle and vivid-- do not stand apart from or clash with your chosen outfit. The superior ties from COTTON & COTTON are meant to speak to the rest of your outfit—may it be C&C’s Italian woven suits or its twoply cotton shirts.
Sporting a tie must be done with exactitude and finesse. A gentleman’s tie is very different from the one worn carelessly by school boys. No matter what your height, the tip of your COTTON & COTTON tie should hit right at your beltline. Also, narrow ties are ‘in’ yet not super-skinny. Ideally, a tie should be about two and a quarter to two and three-quarter inches at its widest point. This thinner width works both at the office and on the town, syncing up with any modern-cut suit.
Even though there are umpteen ways to knot a tie—from Ascot, to Prince Albert; from Nicky to the Pratt knot-- yet contemporary fashion experts deem the four-in-hand as ‘in’. It's neither too big nor too small nor too perfectly triangular. It's natural and elegant, and it works with every collar, from a spread to a point.
The cherry on top is the dimple in your tie--When you're almost done tying your tie, press your thumb against your index finger just beneath the knot, so the fabric forms a crease. Pull down the narrow end of the tie to tighten the dimple, and slide up the knot. Finesse either side of the dimple to accentuate the fold and set it in place.
As far as patterns and colors go--a solid dark tie with a white or light-color shirt is an unbeatably classy combination for work and formal events. Every man should own a solid navy, burgundy or gray COTTON & COTTON tie in his everyday wardrobe. The solid coloured high quality ties from COTTON & COTTON are always very striking and elegant and will never ripple or shadow.
Stripes are the next best thing to solid coloured ties--if you only have a few ties, opt for bold and simple patterns; choose repp stripes or our various styles of diagonal stripes.If you are looking for something a little more stylish, opt for astonishing high-tech grays and blacks. These make for extremely rich styles when matched with a similar toned shirt, a well-tailored suit and quality shoes.
At COTTON & COTTON we encourage you to be different and original. If you wish to be trendy and bold with your tie choice, make sure it’s with a superior quality COTTON & COTTON tie. Coordinated with a well-cut COTTON & COTTON suit, trendy shoes and the right overall look, it can be a great way to show off your outgoing personality.
Quality ties like those at C&C are cut across the fabric allowing the tie to fall straightforward after the knot has been tied. They do not curl when you put it across your hand. Match your ties to your C&C suiting fabrics— cotton ties with cotton suits in summer, wool ties with wool suits in winter.
A supreme and exclusive tie bought from COTTON & COTTON needs to be cared for. Each time you remove your tie, untie the knot by reversing the method used to tie the tie. Do not pull the small end of your tie through the knot. Do not leave the tie knotted, as it will permanently crease the fabric. After removing, hang the tie on a tie rack or drape them around the collar of the coat. To remove wrinkles, usually it is enough to place the tie on its tie rack overnight. If that doesn’t work, rollup the tie, small end first and let it sit for a day. Finally, you may steam the tie. When traveling, pack your ties by rolling, starting with small end first or carefully fold into 4 sections. Unpack upon arrival and hang your ties in the bathroom while you shower. The steam will help remove slight wrinkles.
The versatile and classic collection of ties at COTTON & COTTON can match most of your shirts and suits. Whether a tie is a part of your everyday work garb or you only handpick a few for those special occasions, the superior ties from COTTON & COTTON are a smart investment and worth every dime you pay for their unsurpassed quality.
