The tie enters the room almost before the man
For the past decade we at Possen have been wondering about this strange thing called Casual Friday. Do we really want to see our colleagues from accounting in their weekend jeans and worn out sneakers? We don´t think so.
The nice thing about a business outfit is that it suits you for what you are all about: doing business. And why ruin a perfect tailor-made suit by loosing the tie? And besides that, only Al Pacino in Scarface and Bill Gates get away without a tie (the Cuban drugdealer and the nerd).
The knot you use for your tie should be appropriate to the material of the tie and the occasion to which you will wear the tie. A tie is only effective if it is tied correctly. No one looks spiffy with an ill-knotted neck tie. In some social circles, correctly tying a neck tie speaks of the status and breeding of a person.
And just for fun, below a list of all the tie knots that we know. Don´t hesitate to ask our fashion consultants to show you how to tie them. They should know ...
- The Four-in-Hand
- The Double-Simple (Pratt or Shelby knot)
- The Full or Double Windsor
- The Half-Windsor
- The Small Knot
- The Cross Knot
