Among the many accessories, a neckerchief stands out for its ability to tell a lot about its owner. After all, this wardrobe item to everyone, starting from the fabric and ending with the way it is tied, demonstrates the presence or absence of a sense of style in the person who tied it.
From antiquity to the present day
Fashion historians still argue who the world of men’s wardrobe, and later women’s, owes such a stylish accessory as a neckerchief. Someone claims that they were the Romans, someone gives the "palm" to the Egyptian pharaohs, while the third place the ancient Chinese military on the role of the founders of fashion on a scarf tied around the neck. But right are those who believe that this kind of scarf owes its appearance in the fashion world to Louis XIV, who loved to adorn himself and the world around with elegant "little things." By the way, this accessory was adopted by the French fashion king from the Croats, who were supposed to wear a scarf in shape, tied with a special knot around his neck.
Be that as it may, but today the neckerchief is an adornment that, with the right choice, will emphasize the style of its owner. And this choice is traditionally based on three simple components - shape, fabric and color.
Form . Thanks to the efforts of designers and stylists, neckerchiefs take many forms. Although the classic is still considered a short strip of light, flowing tissue, from which it is so easy to create a knot - Ascot. Moreover, it should be noted that this type is typical for both female and male wardrobe. But everything is changeable, especially when it comes to beautiful ladies. And therefore, modern trends are increasingly offering the most diverse options, ranging from quads and ending with stoles.
The fabric . In terms of fabric, everything is much thinner. To create the image of a respectable gentleman, a representative of a strong half of humanity should include a silk neckerchief in his wardrobe. But this statement is not so categorical. Stylists favor those who like to experiment with satin, cambric, cotton, linen and other fabrics. By the way, the last statement is most consistent with the female variety of this accessory.
Color palette. To date, there are no strict restrictions on the choice of shade of a neck scarf. Even the model that is designed to complete a strict men's suit is no exception. Therefore, only one rule applies: "a neckerchief is the final chord of a costume." And, therefore, it is worth either choosing a tone for tone, or building an image on contrasts.
Choosing the perfect neckerchief
This accessory is insidious, and the slightest inaccuracy can “fail” the whole look. And therefore, there are a number of recommendations that are worth taking.
Men's neckerchiefs should be chosen strictly in accordance with the chosen style. And therefore, for the evening exit, only a silk scarf is selected.
For business style variations with cotton products are possible. At the same time, it is recommended to tie this accessory either with traditional ascot, plastron and case, or leave it to hang freely, twisting once around the neck.
For beautiful ladies, they came up with 186 ways of how to tie a neckerchief. The female version depends only on the style chosen by the lady. The fabric and colors are subject to the basic rules for combining clothes by color type and image construction.
