Neckties Might Be Your Perfect Choice On Valentine’s Day

Thursday, January 14th, 2010 by ellen

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, it makes sense that you are nervous about finding the perfect gift for your man.  The truth is that shopping for men for romantic occasions can be somewhat difficult.  Unfortunately, there are not the staple gifts like flowers and jewelry for men the way there are for women.  Instead, you have to use a bit more creativity to show your special guy how much he means to you.  However, there is one classic man’s gift that is timeless and always appropriate - and that is neckties.

Neckties are something that has been given through the years to men.  They are a wonderful gift because they are not necessarily something that a man is going to purchase for himself, but they are always appreciated.  Though silk ties are not necessarily cheap they are very affordable.  You can generally find gorgeous neckties for as low as $30.  Of course their price point goes up depending on the fabric, designer and vendor, but there are always neckties that you can find within your gift giving budget.

Silk ties are a wonderful gift because there are always occasions to wear them.  Perhaps your special guy wears ties to work every day, or maybe he only needs one for a special occasion.  The truth is that if he has been given a tie that you have chosen he will feel great wearing it and feeling great is the first step to looking great.

When looking for neckties to give you will want to think about your special guy’s wardrobe.  What colors does he really likes.  What other pieces does he have in his wardrobe?  This information can help you select silk ties for him.  Once you know what colors he tends to like, you can select a tie that is in that color family. Or perhaps knowing what wardrobe pieces he has can serve as a guide for you to choose coordinating neckties.

Neckties can be found in a variety of different patterns.  When shopping for a gift, it is generally a good idea to choose a more classic and traditional pattern. Stripes are very classic in the design of silk ties making them an easy choice.  However, if your guy is a bit more of a fashion risk taker you may want to choose a more avant-garde pattern.  Today, floral patterns are actually becoming very popular choice in neckties for those who are willing to take a fashion risk.

You will also want to take a look at the width of the neckties that you are thinking about giving to your guy.  Through the years different widths have become more and less popular.  The good news is that today much of that choice is purely personal.  Skinny ties have become much more trendy these days and they are the perfect accessory to add to an outfit for a night on the town.  Often when choosing a skinny tie you are going to want to stick with a fairly solid tie.  Thicker ties are also popular today, but they tend to be more appropriate for daytime wear.  If your valentine tends to wear silk ties to work then you might want to find a wider one for him.

Neckties, especially the designer ties, are a must-have for fashion men, even for women from some brand name. In the current market, the necktie patterns are changing quickly and endless patterns are available. Different patterns are designed for people who have various tastes. Elegant men love the checkered patterns because the clear cut and implicit feel creates a sense of gentleman. Burberry created a series of unique grid neckties in Scotland style. Polka dot patterns are always changing and Bvlgari presents small gold dots in Burgundy background which shows the sense of noble and luxury. Alexander Mcqueen designed white large dots which is full of art and rebellion in the absurd post-modern style. Dolce & Gabbana fully presented the unruly and free from the mature men. Of course, the necktie patterns are not limited to those and more artistic ties are emerged with the popularity of art and constantly increased fans.

How to Wash, Press, Store Neckties

Thursday, November 19th, 2009 by ellen

Washing Recommendation
The neckties could have wrinkles if cleaning by water. The reason is that the necktie fabric and the lining materials are different. Also, it can bring the damage to the glossy surface so the water cleaning is not recommended for neckties. The dry cleaning is highly recommended, especially for silk ties. The knot tying section is vulnerable to dirt. If it does have, put it into the pot filled with gas and hand wash or brushing. If dirty on other parts, scrub with a cloth which is dipped with gas.

Washing Solution
If you would like doing dry cleaning yourself, you can use ethyl alcohol or gas or neutral soft soap.

Washing
Soak the necktie into the above solution for 5 – 10 minutes and rub the dirty spot very gently only if it is very dirty. Rinse completely with clean water and hang it in the shade of light until dry.

The stains are very hard to clean in a certain condition. Here are some tips you can try:

1. Printing ink
Put a mixture of soap and gas on the dirty spot and gently scrub. Then, wash with soap water and rinse with clean water. After washing in the soap water, the oil should be cleaned. If the stained color is still there, a bleaching process should be done after that. Bleach powder works for most fabrics except silk and the special powder is needed to clean the colored stain for silk.

2. Blood and milk
The grinded carrot with a little salt is a cure for the blood and milk stains on the neckties. Gently rub with that mixture and rinse with clean water.

3. Coffee and Tea

If you got coffee or tea on the necktie, you could wash immediately with warm water. If the stain has been dried, you need do more work. Put the mixed solution of glycerol and egg yolk on the dirty spot, wait a while until a bit dry, and then wash with clean water.

Necktie Pressing
Before pressing, make a necktie shape cardboard and insert into the lining to avoid the hard wrinkle at the edge. The cover cloth is recommended during the pressing. Also, the low temperature is preferred with a fast ironing speed which can avoid turning silk fabric in yellow color from the heat. If only a little wrinkle, you can tightly roll the necktie round a clean bottle. Next day, the wrinkle will be disappeared.

Necktie Storage
Neckties should not be exposed to strong sun shine to prevent yellowing fade. The storage space should be dry without mothball. Before storage, pressing is recommended in order to kill germs. Hang neckties with hangers and cover it with an anti-dust bag.
