FASHION TIPS

TIES
How to wear a tie tack?

A tie tack consists of two different parts: a decorative pin and a base, chained to a metal crosspiece. Donning a tie tack is a rather complicated procedure. The first step is to select a button at which you would like to position the tie tack. Ensure that the button is high enough to be decorative yet low enough to keep the tie out of keyboard, food, etc. The ideal position is the one which is just below the middle of the tie. Then pull the tie tack apart by separating the pin from the base. Now insert the metallic crosspiece front-to-back through your chosen buttonhole. Button up and push the pin through the tie centered left-to-right, at around the same height as your chosen button. Then join the pin to the base at the back of the tie, straighten the pin, and it’s finally done.

SCARVES
How to care for scarves and wraps?
A must-have in every woman’s wardrobe, scarves and wraps can last for a long time, if they are taken good care of. Different fabrics such as cotton, silk, velvet, cashmere, and wool, have different maintenance requirements. A few tips that will help you maintain your scarves are listed below:
  • Read the instructions on the scarves and wraps - many of them list washing instructions such as dry-clean only, wash in hot or cold water, do not dry in sun, etc.
  • Use special hangers that have a non-slip surface for hanging the scarves.
  • Before storing woolen, silk or velvet scarves or wraps for long periods, ensure that they are dry-cleaned.
  • Woolen scarves and wraps should be ironed using the wool setting.
  • Some fabrics like chenille and wool also lose their wrinkles after they are left hanging on the hangers.
  • Chenille scarves shouldn’t be kept folded as they develop permanent crease; these should be preferably rolled.
  • If you have to wash your scarf, then wash it with soft detergents, separate from other clothes.
  • Avoid spraying perfume on your silk scarf.

POCKET SQUARES
Does the occasion decide the color of the pocket square?
The color of a pocket square can make a big difference to the overall appearance of the wearer. It makes sense to stock at home of a wide range of pocket squares having all the colors that are normally used for common engagements. When a sudden formal engagement arises, you should not be left ‘high and dry’ without the proper colored pocket square. For joyous occasions such as a wedding or a party, the pocket square color is restricted just by the imagination of the wearer. Squares of just about any color can be worn in these cases with the only requirement being a good match with the shirt and tie. The wearer can go in for the brightest colors and sometimes even multi-colored pocket squares can be opted for. For, a black tie occasion, it would be advisable to go in for a relatively sober colored pocket square in keeping with the formal nature of the gathering. A light blue, black or whitish pink pocket square would be a good bet. On a similar vein, you would not want to wear a funky pocket square on a mourning occasion. Here too, a white, grey, or some other simple colored pocket square would be a safe choice.
