Knitted tie

For several years in a row, one of the most interesting accessories for men is a knitted tie. Famous publications such as GQ and Esquire continue to publish men dressed in smart casual or business casual styles, in knitted or crocheted ties. Probably, there is not a single fashion house that has not offered its fans its collection of casual ties for men. Let's see why knitted ties in the West liked so much.

As a rule, knitted ties appear on the covers of magazines that are published during the colder seasons – autumn and winter. I think this is due to the fact that the knitted accessory looks good with jerseys such as a cardigan, jumper or sweater. However, in my opinion, a knitted tie is suitable for a casual or smart casual dress code, not only in autumn or winter, but also in warmer seasons.

So what are the features of a knitted tie?

Knitted tie size

As a rule, ties with a width of 5 to 6.5 centimeters are on sale today. Sometimes there are models over 7 centimeters, comparable to the width of a classic tie. Wide ties are more suitable for large men or if your jacket has wide lapels.

Knitted tie color

What color can a knitted tie have? I think it all depends on your mood or preference. Some people recommend choosing a knitted tie for the season: darker and muted tones are suitable for cold months, and bright and colored ones for warm months. In stores today, there is a huge number of both plain knitted ties and multi-colored, copying the shades of classic ties.

Knitted tie pattern

Retro style is very popular: a tie with polka dots, in even horizontal stripes or a tie with a pattern (for example, there is a tie on sale with New Year's reindeer – it looks great and cheers up those around you). The knitted tie itself has an interesting pattern of intertwining threads, so even a plain tie looks interesting. Turn on your imagination and choose this or that knitted tie for your style and do not be afraid to experiment;)

How to tie a knitted tie

The casual style assumes some kind of asymmetry. Therefore, a knot for a knitted tie is needed not quite even, namely – a Quarter one. It is at the same time the simplest and fits well with knitted ties. By the way, the knots Prince Albert and Kent look good.

Knot “Quarter” for knitted tie

Instructions on how to tie a knitted tie with a “Quarter” knot

1. Throw the inside of the tie over yourself, with the seams inward. The wide end is on the right and the narrow end is on the left. The tip of the small end should be extended to a level just above your belly button (this value may vary depending on your height, length and thickness of the tie). We will work with the wide end of the tie.
2. Position the wide end with the bumpy end, forming a crosshair.
3. Wrap the wide end of the tie around the narrow side to the right and left.
4. Form the front of the tie knot by sliding the wide end horizontally from left to right.
5. Pull the wide end towards the neck and pass it under the collar (tie) formed.
6. Pass the end through the loop on the front of the knot that you formed in step 4.
7. Pull the wide end downward, tightening slightly. Adjust the resulting knot so that it fits evenly into your collar.
