Basic Details About Solid Color Ties

By Krystal Branch


Ties, which may also be known as neckties, are pieces of cloth worn around the neck. These long pieces of cloth are often worn for decorative purposes and may be worn around the shoulders. Usually they rest under the collar of a shirt and are knotted up by the neck. Bolo, zipper, bow, ascot or clip-on ties, and cravats are other variations. Solid color ties are one of many kinds available.

Generally, these are worn by males. However, in modern times it is not uncommon to see them being worn by females. Usually they are sold at any retail store that sells clothing and other accessories. They should be expected to vary in price, which might be based on the brand, seller, material, style or other such factors.

As is true of most fashion pieces, these are available in many styles. Some may feature a pattern or design, others may only consist of one color and no pattern. Some people might prefer the solid types as they are easier to pair with shirts and incorporate into many different outfits. Still, the choice of which tie to wear is often based on personal style and preference of the wearer. There is usually no right or wrong, however there may be some rules when these are worn as part of a uniform.

Ties can be incorporated into casual or formal outfits. The material or style of each piece may help an individual choose what occasion or event it is most appropriate for. Certain jobs or positions may require that this be worn as part of a uniform. In such cases, solid versions are most common.

There is a long history associated with this type of neckwear. In fact, some variation of these pieces has been around since the 1600s. Of course the style, material and use of them has evolved in many ways since that time period. Still, they are largely worn today as part of a fashion statement.

These pieces might also be regarded as a visual symbol. That is, many people associate tie wearers with individuals who are important or hold a high status. This is not always the case, but there is a connotation that widely exists. This is why men and women often wear these as part of formal wear and for important occasions. Still, there are many options available for those interested in wearing these on a day-to-day basis as part of casual wear.

Different fabrics are employed in the manufacturing process. Some of the most common materials employed: cashmere, satin, silk, wool and polyester. The various kinds may provide their own look, even if they are in one color. For example, a wool tie that is in a solid color may have more texture and dimension than a solid-color tie made of another fabric. Synthetic fabrics might snag, making them look cheap after little wear. Always keep in mind your budget and the occasion as well.

Many are willing to make the investment on these pieces because they can be used for several years, especially those that are of a solid color and do not cater to specific trends in fashion. Solid color ties, along with all the other styles, are largely considered a timeless piece when it comes to menswear.
