Asimismo, de forma inconsciente, o no, lo que solemos hacer es formar una opinión de las personas a partir de la primera impresión que nos dan, y aquí entra la interpretación de dichos signos: la semiótica.
And, although it seems cliché, "it is not just about wearing a suit, but knowing how to take it".Therefore, before buying our clothes, it is good to ask: what do I want to communicate about me?
The ties
At the time of dressing, it is important to take every detail to look good.The ties are a very important garment in the wardrobe of men, since it gives them presence and can be a symbol of power and elegance.
According to Jorge Saucedo, fashion designer, "The tie is a male accessory as important as earrings for a woman".And he adds that it is a basic garment that can attract attention when using them.
For Min Ji Kim, fashion designer, the tie is a garment for aesthetic purposes and, although it is not mandatory to use it, it complements the shirt, reflecting confidence and professionalism in the person.
Kim also says that "when a man wears a tie that combines with his shirt, and is tailored, he implies that he made an effort to choose his outfit".
But, not choosing it well according to your outfit, fabrics, colors, contrasts, prints and other factors, could send the wrong message and make it look a misaligned appearance.
"It is important to know how to combine it since this simple accessory, not only highlights the outfit, but also the person who is using it, making it be professional and presentable on any occasion," adds Kim.
How to choose and combine a tie
If you want to highlight and give an impression with your appearance, it is important to take into account some elements before choosing a tie.According to Min Ji Kim, "the golden rule to combine a tie is that it has to contrast with the color of the shirt".
Kim explains that, if the shirt is clear, you have to combine it with a dark tie and vice versa.As for patterns and prints, the rule is that the shirt is simple to use with a patterned or pattern (stripes, geometric, lunar, flourished and graphic designs, among others).
The ties are also classified by their size and this can influence their decision, according to their body type.There are skinny ties (5 to 6 centimeters wide, approximately), standard (approximately 7 centimeters wide) and wide (8 to 9 centimeters wide).
If you are wide shoulders, it is advisable to use wide ties to stylize your silhouette.Instead, if you have narrow shoulders, you are advised to choose Skinny ties, so that your shoulders look wider, says designer Min Ji Kim.
Another aspect to take into account to choose the correct tie is the occasion.In addition to the size, color and print, it is the fabric.According to Kim, silk ties can be used for any occasion, whether formal or casual.
For times of heat and casual occasions, the designer advises cotton, linen or point ties, since they are lighter.
In the case of cold times, it is advisable to use wool ties, as they are thick fabric.
