4 ways to tie a thin tie

In the history of world fashion, such an attribute of clothing as a thin tie, which was very popular in the middle of the last century, is well known. People of the old generation need only to recall the musicians of the Beatles, who have become a symbol of the era not only in music, but also in fashion. Later, closer to the eighties, the thin tie gradually transformed due to the increase in width to 8-10 cm and even more.

However, not so much time has passed when a thin tie, also called "herring", has become firmly in fashion again. Today, this type of neck band is worn mainly by young people and adolescents. Traditionally, they wear a thin tie for festive events (proms, youth weddings) or for wearing in a work setting in the office. Therefore, it is important for a young man to know how to tie a thin tie beautifully if the need arises. The success of the future man to some extent depends on how this issue is correctly resolved.

What is a thin tie

A narrow tie is an everyday garment made of fine fabric. It adds sophistication to the chosen style and helps to create an elegant look for a young man. The herring tie is ideal for men and women with lean or slender builds, highlighting the characteristic features of their appearance. Its visual impact is manifested in the creation of a long vertical line that emphasizes the benefits of a slim figure. The peculiarity of this attribute is the ability to add a little "frivolous" style to the appearance of a respectable person.

In everyday sale, there are samples of "herring" 5-7 cm wide; at the same time, the most common models are with sizes from 3.5 to 6.3 cm. When assessing the length, they proceed from the same considerations as when choosing regular or wide ties. To obtain the correct knot and a given size, it cannot be less than 140 cm. When knitted, the tip of such a tie should only slightly not reach the trousers strap. It will be correct if it does not reach the buckle itself by about 2-4 cm.

Varieties and colors

Before you get acquainted with how to tie a narrow tie correctly, you will need to understand its varieties and existing colors. A narrow tie as a product, first, differs in the material used for its manufacture. Neck dressings made from the following well-known fabrics are especially common:

• classic silk.
• Wool, cashmere.
• Linen, cotton and their combinations with silk
  

  Knitted ties look very stylish, for the manufacture of which woolen or acrylic thread is used

In their elegance, leather products are incomparable, which are suitable for both men's and women's wardrobes.

Narrow lace ties, known as "Bolo"… According to their colors, all these products can be white, black, blue or light blue. Catchy colors are not excluded, represented by burgundy, red, purple, pink and yellow.

How to choose and match clothes

Before tying a thin tie correctly, you first require understanding what it is usually worn with. The following options are available here:

• First, products like “Herring” look good with shirts with short sleeves.
• Wearing them is appropriate for children or adolescents, since an adult does not look very solid in this case.
• The same can be said about wearing it with a shirt not tucked into the pants. On a young man, this combination looks very stylish, but for an adult man, it is not at all suitable.
  

  The narrow tie model is one of the only samples that go well with any kind of denim trousers.

The general style in this combination is chosen not business, but rather - every day and "imposing".

When choosing the width for a narrow tie, the main focus is on the complexion of the man wearing it. The fuller and larger it is, the wider the model you should buy. When determining the color, you need to follow the rules below:

• in a business setting, a tie and a suit are chosen in the same color scheme;
• white is suitable for lawyers, judges or notaries;
• a black tie is worn for formal events (including funeral processions);
• classic blue and cyan colors are appropriate for any setting.

Bright colors are considered separately. So, burgundy color belongs to the classics, testing to the luxury of the owner of the tie. Red, on the other hand, gives the impression of complete self-confidence of a fairly competent person.

But here one feature is considered, which is that this color distracts attention and does not allow you to focus on the wearer's face. Because of this, wearing him for public appearances will not be entirely correct. Pink color "gives off" some playfulness, and yellow associates with stubbornness and determination.

When choosing the right combinations with outerwear (jacket, shirt), it is important to adhere to the following rules:

• the jacket is selected based on the width of the tie itself (in the case of very thin samples, products with narrow lapels are suitable);
• if any pattern is embroidered on a shirt or jacket, the tie must be chosen in one color;
• for clothes that do not have embroidery, both a single-color sample and a model with a pattern are suitable.

The choice of a particular color for a jacket or shirt depends on the nature of the upcoming event.
