3. NECKTIES : INTRODUCTION
A necktie, or simply tie, is a long
piece of cloth worn for decorative
purposes around the neck, resting
under the shirt collar and knotted at
the throat.
Variants include the ascot tie, bow
tie, bolo tie, zipper tie, cravat and
clip-on tie. The modern necktie,
ascot, and bow tie are descended
from the cravat. Neck ties are
generally unsized, but may be
available in a longer size. In some
cultures men and boys wear
neckties as part of regular office
attire or formal wear. Some women
wear them as well but usually not as
often as men. Neckties can also be
worn as part of a uniform (e.g.
military, school and waitstaff),
whereas some choose to wear them
as everyday clothing attire. Neckties
are traditionally worn with the top
shirt button fastened, and the tie
knot resting between the collar
points. Among younger men,
neckties are sometimes worn as a
casual item, tied loosely around the
neck, with the top shirt button
unfastened.

4. NECKTIES : A BRIEF HISTORY
Origin: The modern necktie spread by Europe traces back to the time of
the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) when Croatian mercenaries from the
Croatian Military Frontier in French service, wearing their traditional small,
knotted neckerchiefs, aroused the interest of the Parisians. Due to the slight
difference between the Croatian word for Croats, Hrvati, and the French
word, Croates, the garment gained the name "cravat" ("cravate" in
French).[2] The boy-king Louis XIV began wearing a lace cravat about 1646,
when he was seven, and set the fashion for French nobility. This new article
of clothing started a fashion craze in Europe; both men and women wore
pieces of fabric around their necks. From its introduction by the French king,
men wore lace cravats, or jabots, that took a large amount of time and effort
to arrange. These cravats were often tied in place by cravat strings, arranged
neatly and tied in a bow.
1860–1920s: bow ties,
scarf/neckerchief, the ascot,
the long tie: With the industrial
revolution, more people wanted
neckwear that was easy to put on,
was comfortable, and would last
an entire workday. Neckties were
designed long, thin and easy to
knot, and they did not come
undone. This is the necktie design
still worn by millions of men.
By this time, the sometimes
complicated array of knots and
styles of neckwear gave way to
the neckties and bow ties,

5. 1920s – 2010
After the First World War, hand-painted ties became an accepted form of
decoration in America. citation needed The widths of some of these ties went
up to 4.5 inches (11 cm). These loud, flamboyant ties sold very well all the
way through the 1950s.
In Britain, regimental stripes have been continuously used in tie designs at
least since the 1920s. In Commonwealth countries, necktie stripes run from
the left shoulder down to the right side. When Brooks Brothers introduced
similar striped ties in the United States around the beginning of the 20th
century, they had their stripes run from the right shoulder to the left side, in
part to distinguish them from British regimental striped neckties.
Before the Second World War ties were worn shorter than they are today;
this was due, in part, to men wearing trousers at the natural waist (more or
less at the level of the belly button), and also due to the popularity of
waistcoats, where tie length is not important as long as the tips are
concealed.
The Bold Look lasted until about 1951, when the "Mister T" look (so termed
by Esquire magazine), was introduced. The new style, characterized by
tapered suits, slimmer lapels, and smaller hat brims, included thinner and not
so wild ties.
The 1960s brought about an influx of pop art influenced designs. The first
was designed by Michael Fish when he worked at Turnbull & Asser, and was
introduced in Britain in 1965; the term Kipper tie was a pun on his name, as
well as a reference to the triangular shape of the front of the tie. The
exuberance of the styles of the late 1960s and early 1970s gradually gave
way to more restrained designs. Ties became wider. Ties began to be sold
along with shirts, and designers slowly began to experiment with bolder
colors.
Novelty (or joke) ties or deliberately kitschy ties designed to make a
statement gained a certain popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2008 and
2009 the world of fashion saw a return to narrower ties.

6. NECKTIES : TYPES
Cravat : In 1660, officers wear brightly colored handkerchiefs fashioned of
silk around their necks. The word "cravat" is derived from the à la croate—in
the style of the Croats.
Four-in-hand : The four-in-hand necktie (as distinct from the four-in-hand
knot) was fashionable in Great Britain in the 1850s. Early neckties were
simple, rectangular cloth strips cut on the square, with square ends.
Six- and seven-fold ties : A seven-fold tie is constructed completely out
of silk. A six-fold tie is a modern alteration of the seven-fold tie. This
construction method is more symmetrical than the true seven-fold. It has an
interlining which gives it a little more weight and is self tipped
Skinny tie : A skinny tie is a necktie that is narrower than the standard tie,
and often all-black. Skinny ties have widths of around 2 1⁄2 inches at their
widest, compared to usually 3–4 inches for regular ties..
"Pre-tied" ties and development of clip-ons : The "pre-tied", or
more commonly, the clip-on necktie is a permanently knotted four-in-hand or
bow tie affixed by clip or hook, most often metal and sometimes hinged, to
the shirt front without the aid of a band around a shirt collar these ties are
close relatives of banded pre-tied ties that make use of a collar band and a
hook and eye to secure them.
Bow tie : The bow tie is a type of necktie. It consists of a ribbon of fabric
tied around the collar of a shirt in a symmetrical manner so that the two
opposite ends form loops.

11. SELECTION OF A NECKTIE
Modern male fashion revolves around the necktie.
This unique article of clothing serves as a defining
centerpiece of a traditional suit. As a result, tie
selection is an imperatively meaningful decision. The
importance of choosing a proper design cannot be
over-exaggerated in the scope of masculine
prominence. In fact, a necktie is the most striking
feature a man can equip himself with. This guide
extrapolates on the infinite applications of necktie
variations to designate the absolute zenith of style.
Necktie Colors : A black tie represents the
pinnacle of formality. They belong in their own
distinctly separated category. Meanwhile, every other
color can reveal different personality details. Warm
tones are the best, How To Match A Tie To A Suit but
cooler shades are also sometimes useful. Neon
should never be featured.It is also important to
remember that political affiliation is often signaled by
a red or blue tie. White ties are especially sharp, but
they are a dangerous affair due to their unavoidable
propensity for attracting stains.
Necktie Design : Goofy tie designs signal an
unrepentantly unreliable attitude. Fine textures are
luxuriously preferable. Fashionable men do not limit
their necktie wardrobe to a fine few. The only way to
guarantee every suit has a match is to accumulate a
massive assortment of classy ties.

12. SELECTION OF A NECKTIE
Necktie Width : Depending on personal
measurements, a stylish man may want to alter
the narrowness of their necktie. Tall guys
should avoid thin ties that facilitate the
appearance of lankness; likewise, stockier men
should not wear wide ties Men's Neckties
Fashion that accentuate their horizontal girth.
Necktie Length : Vertical dimensions are
equally important. Tall people can receive
immense benefits from a mildly lengthier tie
that accentuates such positive proportions.
Shorter individuals can generate the
appearance of extra height by having a slightly
blunted style.
Occasions : The casual combination of an
unbuttoned collar with a loosely tied tie is a
prevalent style among people in their twenties.
An off-kilter presentation actually promotes a
confident stride. This unkempt style is no longer
considered to be sloppy; in fact, it illustrates
unflappable smoothness in the proper
environment.
Despite the widespread expansion of ties in
popular culture, they are still primarily used in a
professional manner. For business purposes, a
tie should be keep discrete and tidy. Any
extravagant displays could be shunned, and
eccentric presentations should be kept until
after work.

14. TIE CLIPS
A tie clip (also tie slide, tie bar, or tie clasp)[1] is a clothing accessory that is
used to clip a tie to the underlying shirt front, preventing it from swinging and
ensuring that the tie hangs straight, resulting in a neat, uniform appearance.
Tie clips are commonly made of metal and often have decorative patterns or
embellishments. Some clips have a small badge indicating membership to a
club or some other affiliation, or some other commemorative token, in a
similar manner to the way in which ties themselves may be used as signs of
membership. The use of tie clips gained prominence during the 1920s,
during which period the use of straight ties made of delicate materials such
as silk became more fashionable, and they largely came to replace the more
traditional tie pin.

15. MODERN DAY NECKTIES
Modern day neckties are extremely different from those of the older once.
These are a bit funky and at the same time attractive. These days new
designs in ties only consist of the irregular prints and shapes and many more
unexpected things but these have got nothing to do with the functionality as
these are not wearable at a professional place and will only be suitable while
showcasing a costume.

17. WOMEN’S NECKTIES
Since women are working in the business world to look more empowered
they started wearing the neckties. As women’s fashion industry to one of the
largest industries, ties nowadays have became an article to modify according
to the unique look.

I’ve also executed the design ideas to see the results which will be seen with
the collection of basic ties and variations in the knots. Although there are so
many variations in ties which I could have taken in my design but the main
purpose of designing such neckties is either make them attractive of very
professional. Following slides includes the technical sheets of following
