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

Basic Details About Solid Color Ties

By Krystal Branch


Ties, also called neckties, are long pieces of cloth that are worn around the neck or shoulders. Often times these are applied for decorative reasons. Usually they are placed to rest under the collar of a shirt and are knotted at the neck. Clip-on, bolo, zipper, ascot or bow ties, as well as cravats are variations of this accessory. Solid color ties are just one of many styles available in modern times.

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.

Like most other fashion accessories, these come in a variety of styles. Some might include a design or pattern, while others might just be a single color without any pattern. There are many who prefer to own and wear the solid versions because they are easier to incorporate into outfits and pair with dress shirts. Still, what kind is worn is usually based on the preference and style of the person wearing the item. There is usually no wrong or right way, but there may be some rules if these are worn with a uniform.

This accessory might be worn with formal or casual outfits. The style or material of a piece may help a person decide what event or occasion it works best for. Certain jobs or job positions might require these be worn as part of the uniform. In these instances, solid styles are often the standard.

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 may also serve as a visual symbol. This is because many people associate people who wear these with those who are of high status or importance. This is not true of all who wear them. Women and men are known to wear these pieces as part of formal wear, which adds to this symbolism. Still, there are also many options that suffice for casual wear.

Ties are made from many different fabrics. Some of the most commonly used materials for manufacturing these items: polyester, cashmere, wool, silk and satin. The different types may offer their own look, especially when they are solid. For instance, a solid wool tie may give more dimension and texture. Synthetic fabrics, however, are known for snagging and might look cheap after a few wears. Always consider the budget and occasion when making this kind of purchase.

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.
