 Dress for Success with a Silk Tie

Few clothing accessories denote style and luxury as silk ties can. Silk ties add a special sheen to a man's suit - offering both visual interest and personal expression.

Few clothing accessories denote style and luxury as silk ties can. Silk ties add a special sheen to a man's suit - offering both visual interest and personal expression. Other materials may be used in the manufacturing of ties, but silk exemplifies expense and glamour. Silk ties benefit from the richer dyes used by silk producers and the expertise of high-end designers. Fashion experts often coordinate tailored suits with appropriate silk ties for effect.

Business fashion experts say the choice of tie can reflect the wearer's personality or preferred image. Silk ties offer very bold color schemes and patterns - which imply power or security. These ties can also be coordinated with dress shirts to give the impression of organization and personal neatness.

Silk can be printed or woven. Woven silk tends to be thicker and you will often see a fabric weave running through it.


How to Clean a Silk Tie:

1. Act immediately.

2. Resist the temptation to expose a silk tie to water.

3. Use a white paper towel to dab a small amount of stain remover onto the stain.

4. Blot with the paper towel.

5. Have the tie professionally dry cleaned if you haven't gotten rid of the stain.


Care and Storage:

1. Treat your ties with a specialized fabric protection spray before wearing them.

2. Avoid tie-threatening situations such as open soup bowls, ketchup or mustard packets, and babies.

3. Loosely roll ties to store them, rather than hanging them. Tie rolls should be loose to avoid wrinkling. Hanging ties can leave creases.


Buying the Right Tie:

To begin with, you need a quality tie made of 100% pure silk. As a 'perfect person' you are generally expected to wear a plain-colored non-distracting tie with your suit e.g.: in a dark red or dark blue color. A crooked tie projects a sloppy look and says the same about your skills and abilities. Therefore it is important to focus on the tie knot as well.


Conclusion:

1. Buy a quality conservative 100% pure silk tie.

2. Practice how to tie the four-in-hand tie knot - and make sure that the tie's widest end is roughly at the upper edge of your belt.

3. Use a tie bar to attach your tie to your dress shirt.

Remember: wearing a quality silk tie properly tied and fastened is probably the fastest way to improve the overall appearance and it doubles your chances of leaving a favorable impression.
