types of tie
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.
By this time, the sometimes complicated array of knots and styles of neckwear gave way to the neckties and bow ties, the latter a much smaller, more convenient version of the cravat. Another type of neckwear, the Ascot tie, was considered de rigueur for male guests at formal dinners and male spectators at races.
The classic bow tie is the one that you tie yourself. Perfect for any formal affair, this bow tie can be in any shape or style and still look good. This bow tie is also the perfect one for non-formal usage of a bow tie, such as going to church, attending a professional event, or just going to teach a class.
This is a bow tie that tends to go in and out of style over the years. It is the largest of all the bow ties, making it difficult to wear in proportion for many people. These ties often flare out quite a bit as well, meaning they work well for people who are broad shoulderedâ¦ or have broad egos.
