So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Reinvention Of Bow Ties

By Mark Richards


Typically bow ties have created an image that they can be used only by confident and learned men. In fact, in the past they are often worn by lawyers, accountants, politicians and university professors or by men that are regarded as "man of genius from a mediocre one". In this regard, it can be assumed the aura of elegance that bow ties provide makes it more appropriate to be worn during formal events.

It was observed that the popularity of bow ties had gone down in the middle of the 20th century on the assumption that men do not want to be stereotyped as nerds or labelled as extremely comical. This is in relation where well known men like communist theorist Karl Marx and American inventor Thomas Edison wore bow ties. Ironically, clowns also wear brightly coloured over sized bow ties with their costumes while performing funny stunts in front of crowds.

Seemingly on the 21st century bow ties once more became widely used on men not only with their formal wear but in addition with their casual wear. A few factors may have brought about this approach. One of which is that men at present have become a lot more aware with the fashion trends. Further it may also be affected by famous films like James Bond where Pierce Brosnan as well as Daniel Craig wore bow ties in a hip and chic way.

Considering that bow ties and tux are the common formal wear of men, it does not come as a surprise if it has become a most popular wedding wear of the groom and his groomsmen. Meanwhile other formal events just like the black tie as well as white tie event the colour of the bow ties should correlate with the kind of occasions you are going.

Alternatively, given that bow ties cease to restrict themselves any longer to formal wear it can be put on with jacket, cardigan or a V-neck sweater using a button up or perhaps polo shirts. The colour can also differ along with its prints to complement the attire. Consequently the designs graduated from simple to brilliant colours and basic prints to polka dots, stripes and other unique prints to boost the complete appearance of the informal wear.

Purchasing of bow tie is also a breeze. It can be obtained from any leading department stores or even at most online men's shops. Depending on the preference of the wearer it can be purchased in different types such as pre-tied, clip on or the traditional type that has to be tied up manually.

Evidently any classic wear like bow ties will always make its way into the fashion trends. It has the ability to reinvent itself that will suit the style of the times. On the other hand, no matter how the bow tie may look its purpose of creating a dignified look on the wearer will always remain the same.
