Among the many accessories, a neckerchief stands out for its ability to tell a lot about its owner. After all, this piece of clothing demonstrates to everyone, from the fabric to the way it is tied, the presence or absence of a sense of style in the person who tied it.
From antiquity to the present day
Fashion historians are still arguing who the world of men's wardrobe, and later women's, owes to such a stylish accessory as a neckerchief. Someone claims that they were the Romans, someone gives the “palm” to the Egyptian pharaohs, while others put forward the ancient Chinese military to the role of the founders of the fashion for a scarf tied around the neck. But those who believe that this type of scarf owes its appearance in the fashion world to Louis XIV, who loved to adorn himself and the world around with elegant “things”, are right. By the way, this accessory was adopted by the French fashion king from the Croats, who, according to their uniform, were supposed to wear a scarf tied with a special knot around their neck.
Be that as it may, but onToday, a neckerchief is an ornament 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 a short strip of light, flowing fabric is still considered classic, from which it is so easy to create a knot - ascot. Moreover, it should be noted that this type is typical for both women's and men's wardrobe. But everything is changeable, especially when it comes to beautiful ladies. And therefore, modern trends are increasingly offering a wide variety of options, ranging from squares to stole.
Fabric. In terms of fabric, everything is much thinner. To create the image of a respectable gentleman, a representative of the strong half of humanity should include a silk neckerchief in his wardrobe. But this statement is not so categorical. Stylists are supportive of 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 version of this accessory.
Color palette. To date, there are no strict restrictions on the choice of the shade of the neckerchief. 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 tone on tone, or building an image oncontrasts.
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 using.
Men's neckerchiefs should be chosen strictly in accordance with the chosen style. And therefore, only a silk scarf is selected for an evening out.
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 hanging freely, wrapping it around the neck once.
For beautiful ladies, they came up with 186 ways to tie a neckerchief. The female version depends only on the style chosen by the lady. The fabric and color scheme is subject to the basic rules for combining clothes by color type and image construction.
