FASHION TIPS

TIES

How to check the slipstitch in a tie?

The slip stitch is a loose thread present at the back of the tie underneath the two attached flaps. To check the slip stitch in a tie, just open the back of the tie as far as you can, to find the loose thread. The slip stitch was invented in 1920s, by Joss Langsdorf to provide ties with more resilience and strength. A good tie always gathers in folds when the slip stitch is pulled. This means that the tie will move smoothly along the slip stitch, thereby ensuring that the tie does not rip when wrapped around the neck and will regain its original shape when removed.

SCARVES

How to select the right scarf for the right occasion?
While buying a scarf you must consider a host of factors like occasion, function and your personal style. If you need a scarf for outdoor occasions, then you can choose from a range of scarves and styles. First decide on the fabric that would best suit you, a rectangular scarf styled like a crown would lend a chic look. Scarves come in different shapes and sizes, with the common shapes being squares, rectangular and triangular ones. The same scarf can be used for different styles. For instance, you can wear a two shoulder wrap using a square scarf. This scarf style is good for both afternoon and evening events, especially when you are transitioning between the two. The same square scarf can be styled to form a bandana wrap, for a formal look. A square scarf of 120 cm can be styled into a halter style blouse, perfect for almost any setting. You can opt for a rectangular scarf too. What about a silk one styled into a neck wrap? This will ideally complement a business suit, and you can wear it to office. If you are looking for beach wear, then you must consider buying a sarong scarf, which can be worn like a wrapper or skirt. These days, a lot of two to three piece wedding sets are available for occasions like beach weddings. Such sets include a sarong, worn like a scarf, a scarf top and a stole. While choosing scarves for outerwear during cold weather, look for styles that provide thickness and warmth. You can buy them in sets with matching hats and mittens or gloves. You can choose from a range of lush materials like angora, or a more casual one made from flannel or fleece. Options include both extra long and shorter styles. You can also buy amongst cashmere, angora, velvet or chenille sweater sets with matching scarves. Embroidered scarves are equally attractive. If you are looking for a casual look, then what about fun scarves with striped designs and trademark characters?

HANDBAGS

POCKET SQUARES

What to consider when buying a pocket square?
For such a seemingly miniscule clothing accessory, a pocket square poses a real challenge when you go out to buy one. With the wide array of styles and colors available in the market, singling out the right one can truly be a daunting task. A word of advice; when buying as finicky an item as a pocket square, just one is not enough. The reason being that one single pocket square is not ideally suited for all occasions. Unless of course you go in for a pure white one; which would get monotonous and staid after you are seen wearing it for almost every formal engagement. The pocket squares you buy should cover a range of colors from subtle to bold. Another consideration is the fabric out of which the pocket square is fashioned. While silk looks the best, linen and cotton pocket squares are more easily maintained. Linen is best suited for all-day occasions due to the fact that its stiffness persists for hours together. Therefore, it can be trusted to retain its original looks. The size of a typical pocket square ranges from around 12 to 18 inches. The size chosen should be inversely proportional to the approximate thickness of the square.
