Como Checks Medium Grey Silk Tie

In 1893 Oscar Wilde wrote ‘A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life’. Fashion historians in Europe trace the advent of neckwear to Croatian mercenaries hired by King Louis XIII who wore bright, knotted kerchiefs around their necks in the Thirty Year War. Parisians took notice and immediately neckwear became fashion. Legend has it that the traditional name for neckwear “Cravats” has been derived from the Croats. Over centuries, ties have become a symbol of elegant, formal dressing and serve as the foremost expression of individual fashion in a gentleman’s ensemble. The history of checks in fashion goes way back to Scottish & Irish highlanders. Depending on their width and size they strike a good balance between elegance and extravagance making them suitable for both classic and contemporary styles.
