I love living in the 21st century. It is a pleasure to dress the way you want, without observing strict formalities. However, there are still some fronts, such as an eternal draw - yes or discussion - a draw - no. It would seem that the issue was resolved more or less at the end of the last century, but today a new one is opening. Should you wear anything around your neck? What are my options? Is it really aesthetically pleasing to distinguish between the torso and the head?
And the fact is that, as it happens
with a mustache and / or beard, when there is little or no hair on the head,
what wears around the neck is "full" of intention, which we lack in
the general set of gaze. Let's say it's a focus that is well directed can be
very rewarding, but wrong can be disastrous.
You will decide.

and head really aesthetically worthy?
As in the case of a mustache and / or beard,
when there is little or no hair on the head, what wears around the neck
deliberately “fills in” what we lack in the overall ensemble of the image.
Let's say it's a focus of attention that can be very rewarding if done well,
and can be disastrous if misdirected.

TIE
The most classic, but also the most
difficult. And not only because of the type of knot (although the double loop
always works with all types of fabrics, even the lightest silk), but also
because the tie is not always worthy. If your necktie is an ominous yoke
imposed on you by corporate capitalism, just don't wear it. A tie should not
restrict anyone's freedom. It is true that there are places like casinos where
this is a must. Well, if you hate connections, don't fight your instincts. Go
ahead and skip the casino.
But there are other aspects of this
connection that are important. This largely depends on the shape of the shirt,
neck, and the presence of buttons. There is a myth that you cannot wear a tie if
you are wearing a button-down shirt; Well, you have to bust the myths, and even
a button tie is a pleasure to wear because it always leaves an elegant (i.e.
chic) touch that looks deliciously childish.

without the casino.
But there are still questions about
important connections. It largely depends on what kind of shirt, whether it has
buttons on it or not. There is a myth that you cannot wear a tie if you are
wearing a button-down shirt; Well, myths are there to destroy, and even wearing
a button-down tie is fun because it always leaves a delightfully childish
preppy (i.e. chic) shade.
BIRD
Whether fashionable or not (men's
classics are not a matter of fashion, they are a necessity), a bow tie should
always be used in context. This is the only way to earn points and not lose them.
Weddings are a good time to wear a bow tie, but without being overly creative
with the details, that is, matching the colors of the rest of the outfit,
rather than the other way around.
Although, in fact, the atmosphere of a
bow tie always has a night tint. A nice medium bow (the classic version with a
clasp) will adorn any neckline. Of course, watch out for your beard. We live in
a time when the length of the beard is not taken into account, and it must be
borne in mind that if you are wearing a bow tie, it should show it, so if your
beard covers your neck (or is very close to a nut), why take ? Better
to wear a tie, or nothing!
BOW TIE
Leaving aside whether it is
fashionable or not (male classics are not a matter of fashion, it is
necessity), the bow tie must always be used in some contexts. It's the only way
to earn points and not lose them. Weddings can be a good time to wear a bow tie
but without being overly creative, that is, combining the colors of the rest of
the outfit and not the other way around.
Although, really, the
atmosphere to wear bow ties always has a night touch. A good piece of medium
size and ribbon (the classic version of the clip type) dignifies any neck.
Beware of beards, though. We are in a moment in which the length of the beard
is not taken into account and we must bear in mind that if you wear a bow tie
is to be seen from the neck, if your beard covers your neck (or is very close
to the nut), why wear it? Use a tie better, or nothing!
