FASHION TIPS

TIES
How to tie the Small knot?

First drape the tie around the collar and adjust the length of the wider side as per your requirement. Then pass the wide end beneath the narrow end just below the collar. Twist the wide end approximately at the spot where the narrow end goes over the wide end, such that the wide end of the tie is now inside out. Pass the wide end over the narrow end horizontally left-to-right, face-first. Now bring the wide end up and pass it below through the loop between the collar and the tie, and then bring it down in front, passing it through the knot. Check if both ends meet perfectly or not, and if not then you’ll have to start over again. Also take care to ensure that your collar falls nicely all around, and the knot is as centered as possible.

SCARVES
What is the best way to store scarves in the closet?
Scarves are worn by women for accessorizing, as well as for certain functional reasons like covering the face and hair while traveling, for protection from dust and elements. Scarves can last longer and look better, if stored well. For storing scarves that are a part of your daily wardrobe ensemble, use special hangers that have a non-slippery surface for hanging scarves. Additionally, one can also create holes in the existing hangers for hanging these scarves. For long-term storage, get your scarves dry cleaned first. Dry cleaning is essential as it ensures that the stains don’t become permanent. It also offers a great degree of protection from moths. Carefully follow the instructions mentioned on the scarves; these normally cite whether the fabric is hand-washable, needs to be dry-cleaned, or can be washed in cold or lukewarm water. As certain fabrics are pertinent for each season, the scarves that are not required can be stored away for long periods. To avoid permanent creases being formed on scarves, it is advisable to roll them around tubular structures like paper towel rolls, instead of folding them.
HANDBAGS
How to choose a leather bag that is ideal for you?
Though trends pertaining to style and color may vary from time to time, a fine leather handbag is never out of fashion. Yet, choosing an appropriate handbag can become a daunting task, especially when one is unclear on how to strike the right deal. The subsequent tips will help you make a better choice.
  • Consider a bag that balances your body type; whether tall or petite, thin or plump.
  • If you are tall and thin, avoid buying a tiny bag as it will make you look even taller, instead, buy a larger handbag, so as to balance your height, however, avoid a very large sized bag as it will weigh you down; for longer distance trips, you can use large backpacks; bright colors and patterns are good as long as it balances your entire looks; it is no longer necessary for your handbag to fully match every other accessory.
  • Smaller handbags in bright colors and patterns are more apt for shorter women. If you need a bigger sized satchel, then stick to its smallest size variation in neutral color. Beige, black, and brown shall help minimize the look of the handbag. Small sized backpacks are a good bet too.
  • Important enough is the place where the handbag hits the body; the bag will attract attention, it is therefore advisable to avoid a bag that may hit your trouble spots.
  • Strap length creates a difference for those having large hips or bosom; select a handbag that hits the body away from your trouble area; longer straps are good if you have a large chest.
  • For those carrying some extra pounds, consider a medium sized bag with medium sized straps
  • As a golden rule try choosing good brands
POCKET SQUARES
What are the different sizes of pocket Squares?
One of the most important considerations when purchasing a pocket square, after the color and the material, is the size of this unique clothing accessory. Most pocket square sizes range between around 12 to 16 square inches. However, variations beyond the upper or lower limit could exist depending on the material used as well as the intended use of this item. Generally, it would be advisable to go in for a larger pocket square only if it happens to be made of a thin and soft material like silk. The reason for this is the fact that when a cotton or linen pocket square is folded, the resulting ‘bundle’ could cause an unsightly bulge within the pocket. Most people wish to ‘kill two birds with one stone’ when wearing their pocket square. They make this artistic piece of cloth perform the mundane tasks of a handkerchief. Though not being a bad decision in the strictest sense, this intended usage would require a larger piece. Another factor governing the size of the pocket square would be the size of the breast pocket and the thickness of the tie being used. The way the pocket square is folded would also influence the size of the square. Some folding techniques require a larger sized pocket square while others which incorporate minimal folds would not need an exceptionally large square. Quite naturally, a person would choose the size of his pocket square depending on the amount of material to be seen above the pocket.
