FASHION TIPS

TIES
How to wear a tie bar?

A tie bar, sometimes also referred to as a tie slide, is a thin metal strip that is slid horizontally across the tie. A tie bar must be worn entirely across the tie, from one end to the other. However this is not strictly so, and a tie bar may have its end flushed with the edge of the tie, and the extent to which it happens largely depends on the width of the tie and the length of the tie bar. The positioning of the tie bar is equally important. Usually after the tie has been knotted, the tip of the tie is folded up to the knot, and it is the crease of the fold where the tie bar is placed. Uniform regulations though state that the tie bar must be placed one inch below the center.

SCARVES
How to use scarves as hair ties and hair bands?
A scarf can be used like a fashionable hair accessory in many ways – tie it around the pony tail, wear it under the hat, make a hair-bow or simply braid it into your hair. Use your creativity to try out various scarf styles. To tie it around a pony tail, use the band fold. Tie the folded scarf into a loose knot around the hair and let the scarf ends hang freely. For a hair-bow, use the bias band fold and tie the folded scarf into a bow. Now fasten to the back of the head using clips. To use a scarf under the hat, use the bias fold, and tie a triangle around the head, knotting it at the back or side. Now wear a hat over it for an enigmatic appeal. Attractive head bands can be created with scarves. For this, take an oblong scarf and center it at the back of your neck beneath your hair. Now, pull the ends over the tops of your ears, entwining it once at the top of your head. Bringing the ends down, create a knot at the nape of your neck. A scarf could also be tied around the forehead. When worn in this way, it works much like a sweat band, only it is prettier. However, while styling a head band using a scarf, ensure that you do not snag it on your earrings, as this may damage your scarf.
HANDBAGS
How do I care for my suede handbag?
Brush debris off your suede purse before spot cleaning. Use suede cleaner or dry clean only according to instructions.
POCKET SQUARES
Why are cotton pocket squares generally smaller sized than silk ones?
As was mentioned earlier, one occurrence to be avoided when using the pocket square is the bulge caused in the pocket. The main cause of this bulge is the material from which the pocket square is made. Generally, thicker the fabric, more pronounced the bulge in the pocket. Since silk pocket squares are usually thinner than linen ones, they occupy lesser space when folded and the bulge in the coat pocket is relatively less. Linen pocket squares, on the other hand, being thicker, tend to bulge. It is for this reason that many style aficionados have stressed on the importance of having a smaller-sized pocket square when it is made of linen. When a small sized linen pocket square is folded, it tends to be slimmer, thus not causing a noticeable pocket bulge. On an average, a 16 inch silk pocket square could result in a bulge of the same dimension as a 12 inch linen pocket square. Therefore, it stands to reason that the linen pocket square should be smaller sized than a silk one. With a properly sized linen pocket square, the user need not pull out more of the pocket square above the pocket, just to flatten that unsightly bulge.
