The\ntie is romantic in its essence; from the day it will undergo\ngeneral rules, fixed principles, it will have ceased to exist. &#8220;He\nseems a long time ago when Honor\u00e9 de Balzac took up his pen to dedicate\na test, concluding in 1830, in his <em>Treatise\nof the tie,<\/em> that this piece of precious fabric could live &#8220;only\nof originality and naivety.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"391\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/de-fursac-PE19_485-525-b.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/de-fursac-PE19_485-525-b.jpg 391w, https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/de-fursac-PE19_485-525-b-320x427.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><figcaption>THE LENGTH AND WIDTH OF THE TIE SHOULD BE CONTROLLED. THE KNOT SHOULD NOT BE NEGLECTED.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Some will be amused by the inanity of this revolt of\nelegance while at the same time the number of multinationals that\ndress code, or even impose a casual style, is growing.\nexponentially. Consider Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft and their CEOs\nas an example. More surprisingly, the bank&#8217;s 230,000 employees\nJPMorgan Chase &amp; Co were the first to be notified by their management\nthat the suit and tie was no longer a requirement for the exercise of\ntheir professional activity. Let&#8217;s agree that the tie should not be a\nobligation but a pleasure for anyone with a certain sensitivity to the\nbeautiful. Let&#8217;s not neglect it; central and vertical, it is the one that\nleads the gaze of our interlocutors to our faces. Formal in appearance,\nit is by nature poetic and magnifies an outfit only if\nit harmonizes with it, both by its material and its color and pattern.\nMost often made of silk, woven, braided or printed, a tie can also be\nbe cut in wool or cashmere. We will most often reserve these\nto casual weekend outfits and jackets &#8211; in tweed or linen &#8211; and\nflannel.  <\/p>\n\n<p>It is advisable to control the length of his tie;\nneither too long nor too short, its point must tickle the belt. If you\nThere are a hundred ways to tie it, but you must avoid the rigidity of the Windsor knot by\navoiding fancy knots. The knot must fill the neck of the\nshirt, its thickness depends on the flare of this one. A subtle\nasymmetry is appreciated, as is the presence of a gathering under the knot &#8211; two\nfor the most experienced. The standard width of a tie is 8.5 cm but\nmust be balanced with the width of the lapels of the jacket. To be avoided\nhowever, ties that will be more or less than 1 cm wide in relation to the\nstandard mentioned above. On the other hand, ties that are too thin do not go well with\nno setback, whether narrow or generous. If you must wear a tie\nfine, go all the way by adopting a string tie and the Stetson that\nwill adorn your chef! The choice of the color or the patterns is up to the\nsubjectivity and tastes of each individual. Do not use too bright silks,\ntoo bright colors and patterns that are too big to attract the eye\nexclusively on your tie, at the expense of your face.<\/p>\n\n<p>As for the pouch, well before becoming a simple practical object,\nit was first and foremost a precious accessory, of luxury and covetousness,\nin noble material essentially, decorated with lace, embroidery,\ngold or silver. We will speak here only about the pocket, decorative handkerchief\nthat we slip subtly in the breast pocket of our jacket and not about the white cotton handkerchief\nthat we advise however to every man\nto put in his inside pocket, in order to sponge his forehead by strong heat or\nto help a lady in need. We will not discuss these synthetic rags any further,\nsometimes pre-folded or worse, pre-sewn to the breast pocket of the jackets of\nquality, which distorts the charm and interest inherent in wearing the\npocket.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"479\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/41.1527502230.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1009\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/41.1527502230.jpg 479w, https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/41.1527502230-320x427.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 479px) 100vw, 479px\" \/><figcaption>THE ART OF WEARING THE CLUTCH IS A HARMONIOUS QUEST BETWEEN DIFFERENT MATERIALS AND COLORS.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Close to the heart, this handkerchief\nof appearance reveals a lot about the one who wears it, and even about the one\nwho does not wear it. More or less hidden inside your breast pocket,\nplain or printed with adventurous patterns, perfectly folded, studied, symmetrical\nor ragged, the simple fact of wearing the clutch proves a certain audacity,\nin these days of dull outfits. The cover thus testifies above all to the confidence\nof the man. And for good reason, it is probably the only piece of clothing\nwhose wearing has not been formalized &#8211; with the possible exception of the\nceremonial clutch, immaculate white, linen or cotton. Thus freed,\nwithout net nor rules, if the fault of taste is easy and slows down more than one,\nit should not slow you down any more, provided that you make your some\nadvice. <\/p>\n\n<p>The art of wearing the clutch is nothing less than a harmonious quest between different materials and colors. Whether they are made of silk, cotton, linen or cashmere, choose clutches with hand-rolled edges. If it is certainly a coquetry &#8211; of fine gourmet! &#8211; This technique, meticulous and now rare, guarantees the quality of the fabric, essential since it will be tortured, crumpled, folded and unfolded according to your moods. Also prefer small sizes, from 30 to 35 cm on a side, in order to spare your breast pocket and to avoid too much volume that would distort the line and the fall of your jacket. Little tailor&#8217;s tip: don&#8217;t hesitate to fix your pouch with a safety pin inside your pocket. Thus maintained, it will avoid hiding during your day. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Benoit Aguelon<\/strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.blaisedesebaste.com\/\">Blaise de S\u00e9baste, tailors)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While casual orders a minimalist outfit or adapted to the image one has of one&#8217;s interlocutors, it is advisable to to be the advocates of two indispensable accessories of the&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":31467,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[1188,918,919,1284,1189,1190,1283],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/0.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33374"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33374"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33374\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33375,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33374\/revisions\/33375"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33374"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lhonoremagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=33374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
