Looking Your Best with Skinny Ties

 

Every decade has its own signature when it comes to fashion, seeing your clothes preference over the years will prove this one true. One of the classic changes in fashion is that skirts and shorts for the ladies become shorter and skimpier and who would have thought that skinny ties for men would click.

 

Men in skinny ties are everywhere nowadays. To mention some of the gorgeous men who wear this type of tie with coolness are Robert Pattinson, Brad Pitt and Justine Timberlake. But do you know that the Beatles are the first one who pulled this men’s tie to nothing from something in the 50’s and from then on skinny ties became part of the history. Nevertheless, this tie was never called passé, and it is surely here to stay. It has also adapted a variety of names like retro tie, slim tie, punk slim necktie and classic skinny tie.

 

Skinny ties evoke a unique mix of elegance with a taste of classic contemporary that makes it one of the top pick ties in awards night and other elite gatherings. This type of tie is also not limited to men, famous artists like Beyonce and Katy Perry can carry these skinny ties with glamour as well.

 

A typical tie measures an approximate of 3.5  inches wide and most skinny ties are somewhere between 2 and 2.5 inches thick, although some prefer it skinnier. The secret to having a perfect skinny tie is proportion. As a general rule, the width of your tie should match the width of your suit jacket’s lapel. A jacket lapel is the folded flaps of cloth found in front of your jacket or coat, this is common in formal clothes. You can have the full potential of your skinny tie by pairing it with a modern European cut suits. Also, as a reminder it is best to get a singled breasted suit with not more than three buttons for skinny ties.

 

For the knot, skinny ties are best tied with smaller knots. The four in Hand ties always complements this type of tie; also having your asymmetrical knot a little bit loose will do perfectly fine. With regards to the body type, skinny ties look best for thin and tall men.

 

There, the simple golden rules to rock your event with the skinny tie. A wide range of good looking skinny tie can be purchased with Discount Quality Ties. Keeping the rules in your head with DQT as your partner, you can add more personality, life and youthful touch to the boring sets of ties, enabling you to look your best from being fashion wise to having your very own edgy style.

Ties are excellent way for a man to express himself, but making it gorgeous  and attractive is a must. You can not go wrong with plaids, modern polka-dots, skinny ties, and diagonal stripes. Among these three, diagonal stripped ties will be having their major trend in 2012. Name all the kinds of diagonal stripped ties- regimental tie, club tie, contemporary stripes- all of them are actually back this year. Historically speaking, diagonal striped ties achieved their popularity in the UK after World War I when soldiers while wearing their ties proudly and confidently announced that they have fought courageously for their country. Since then, the popularity of diagonal striped ties has increased and more tie manufacturers and suppliers offered different types of this tie.

 

This year 2012, diagonal striped ties will be a perfect match for almost ay suit or shirt. You can match your diagonal striped ties with corduroy, cotton, sports jackets, blazers. If you think that a diagonal striped tie can no longer be matched with striped shirts, you have to change your thinking now. Providing that the striped shirt has a contrast in the width of the stripes, you can still match it with your beautiful diagonal striped tie. This type of tie is actually best when you are having that classic bussiness look.  During the summer months, diagonal striped ties in pastel and vivid colors will be in demand.

 

Aside from diagonal striped ties, 2012 also demands for skinny ties. Slightly wider ties will also be featured this year. The popular sport 3.25 inch-wide ties are just recent in Europe and a lot more of this is expected this year. When it comes to the choice of fabric for Spring 2012, naturally fine silk will be popular.  The season also calls for ties with bright and lively colors such as blue, turquoise, cobalt, light blue, sky blue, and robin’s egg blue. But whether its Spring or Summer, men fashionistas can look best with burgundy red neckties and dark blue ties.

The Perfect Wear for that Perfect Business Dinner

 

Everyone has been invited to a dinner party. Definitely. But in the corporate world business, dinners are common and can be the chance to open a door for future growth of a company as well as the opportunity to talk to bosses and co-workers you don’t normally see in the office. Being invited to one, however, can be nerve wrecking if you don’t know what’s expected of you. Knowing how to act, what to say and not say, how to dress and even how to eat properly can have a big impact on the success of the dinner. You’ve been invited to a business dinner and you’re not sure what to wear. You may leave directly from the office, or arrive by airplane. Either way, you need to be prepared.

 

Whether your office is a business or business casual environment, always dress professionally. If your company is conservative, look for the tailored suit and a vintage inspired blouse for women. You can add colour and fashion on your shoes as well, perhaps red heels or animal printed shoes.  For business casual, same pants and top, drop the jacket and add a belted cardigan. If your company allows for a little creative interpretation, go for the fishnet print skirt, cropped jacket and studded booties. The handbag is appropriate for all of the above scenarios. As for men, for a conservative work environment, stick with your suit and neck ties and dress shoes. For a real impressive look, opt for a coat and bow ties or skinny ties which are in fashion nowadays and can be easily bought in discounted quality ties in different shades. If your company is a bit more relaxed, go for colour in your shirt and drop the tie. The charcoal gray pants look fantastic with a dark teal coloured shirt. You can ease off the dress shoe and instead wear a rubber soled oxford.

 

To get started on the right foot, it’s important to arrive on time, too early or too late can cause disruption on the hosts’ plans for the meal. If you know you’re going to be more than five minutes late, calling to let the others know you’re on your way will guarantee that the dinner won’t start without you. Being aware of conversation topics is also the key to a successful business dinner. Anything that can spark controversy, like politics or religion, is better kept off limits. Personal issues such as illnesses, family problems and even money should also be avoided. If the host or another guest ask a question about topics you’re not comfortable talking about, give a simple answer that provides no specific details, and hopefully the other person will understand you’re not comfortable talking about it. These simple steps can give you the confidence you need to meet and set a good impression to your bosses and work mates.

 

Having that perfect dinner soon? Then do not waste your time looking somewhere else. Here in DQT you can find that perfect tie and waistcoat to put all your bosses and co-workers in awe.

 

 

 

How to Become the Best Dressed Man in a Corporate World

 

Being in the corporate and business world, and in the office, you should be frequently asked with questions from male office mates like, is it too plain? Is it too colourful? Does it match my suit…And the question goes on. Being very fashion conscious, one should learn from experience how accessories such as neck ties give such an impression in the office. We recommend that adding some tie jewelry will set you apart from all the other suits and ties in your office. Over the past few years tie bars have gained much popularity. They are especially stylish when paired with a solid skinny tie that is narrower.

 

To break away from every-day business, combining the sports coat with contrasting trousers is also an option. Excellent are gray flannel pants as well as tan or beige wool dress pants. The dress shirt can be plain white but I suggest if you are looking for more sophisticated appeal, you choose a shirt that compliments one of the accent colours on the tweed jacket. Typically a pale yellow, tan, or gray shirt will look nice. Finally it is time to pick a tie, the favourite part of the whole ensemble.

 

Cliché as it may seem but, dress up but don’t overdo it, is so true. Your outfit should be elegant and classy but not too formal, conservative, or business-like. Excellent are sports coats because of their casual-elegance and because of their warmth and comfort, sports coats in earthly colours like dark browns and tans. Especially popular are coarser fabrics such as worsted wool or twill paired with larger patterns. Choose a contrasting colour that reminds of a particular season. Think of turning autumn leaves and you will get the idea. Great choices are burnt orange, amber, brown, and maroon. Modern, classic, interesting are three words that perfectly describe what you should choose for a tie. Expensive is not necessary, there are discounted quality bow ties and ties offered in variety and style.

 

Classic colours will always do, and to match these ties we recommend white, gray, or solid black dress shirts. Best suit colours fall into the gray to black range. We also recommend adding an accenting pocket square in pink, fuchsia, or wine red. Great patterns are fine polka dots, solids paired with a ribbed fabric texture, as well as striped neck ties. Chances are, you will be the best dressed man in the office.

 

Want to outshine everyone in your office? Then it must be time for you to get that exquisite tie at a very affordable price. Find hundreds of ties and tie accessories only here at DQT.

 

 

 

Time to Get Skinny!

 

Well, not really the bodily skinny but we are talking about a new trend. Yes. A simple yet effective way to be cool and funky!

 

Many people are accustomed with the traditional necktie. The usual 3 ½ wide and about 58 inches long ties that looks so professional and formal. The typical necktie you definitely have inside your closet right now. But how about those times when you want to look trendy with such piece of accessory? Then this is where skinny tie comes in.

 

Skinny ties are actually or should be a staple part of every man’s or woman’s wardrobe. You’ve read it right. These kinds of ties also allow women to experience wearing such accessory that were basically and sort of historically made and designed only for men. Skinny ties can fit both men and women with just a simple white shirt or blouse.

 

These ties can now be seen from famous celebrities on the red carpet or even in just a simple show. Various personalities like Justin Bieber, Brad Pitt and even Robert Pattinson were seen wearing these skinny ties, as such, many people all around the world are now trying to get that classy yet trendy look. But the next big question is how to wear that skinny tie without looking like you are trying so hard to be that celebrity look-a-like?

 

The rules are very simple. Know what looks best on you. If you have such a big body built, then stay away from skinny ties as they can only make you look even bigger and fatter. If you have to attend an event that requires a suit jacket, make sure to pull that jacket with the modern fit and make sure that the lapels aren’t wider than the tie.

 

Never use shirts with thick collars. Keep in mind that your goal is to create a modern look and not some nerdy-trying-hard look. Avoid baggy clothes or anything that can make you look rumpled or too casual. Lastly, aim for a skinny tie with the proper length. Pick that tie with a couple of inches above your belt buckle.

 

Being in fashion is always easy if you know the right accessories and the proper way to use them. With skinny ties, you can definitely achieve that hip look without spending a lot or putting on too much detail on your outfit.
