<p>It cannot be denied that while some men would look good when they are a little scruffy, they are usually better in the eyes if they look clean and formal. <br />
Most would agree that <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/tie-cufflinks-handkerchief-sets">silk ties</a> give men a modern and sophisticated look. In addition to the traditional formal attire, men wear ties with jeans and casual clothing. Silk tie and cufflinks make beautiful gifts for dad,brother, husband or any male friend on any occasion. An elegant designer <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/tie-cufflinks-handkerchief-sets">silk tie cufflinks</a> boxed set makes a great gift.</p>
<p>But where did the word designer come from? <br />
The very first <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/tie-cufflinks-handkerchief-sets">designer tie</a> was created by Jean Patou in the 1920’s. Jean used women’s dress fabric to manufacture the tie, the design and style of manufacturing got very popular and thus began the designer era.</p>]]></summary><updated>2010-02-13T00:55:37+00:00</updated><published>2010-02-13T00:55:37+00:00</published><author><name>S  Buckinghams</name></author><link href='http://www.sbuckinghams.com/blogs/news/1477392-designer-silk-ties-keeping-men-professional-looking-and-sophisticated-since-the-1920s' rel='alternate'/></entry><entry><id>tag:db1@shopify.com,2009:articles/1221952</id><title>History of Men&apos;s Silk Pocket Handkerchiefs</title><summary type='html'><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2337/1737679958_33ed7b1e4b.jpg?v=0" alt="Matching Silk tie and handkerchief" /></p>
<p>Throughout the 1900’s the handkerchief was a symbol of male social status and no true gentlemen would be seen without one tucked into the top pocket of his suit.<br />
The main use of the <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/handkerchief">handkerchief</a> during those days was for the wiping of one’s hands instead of essentially blowing the nose as this was actually thought to be unhygienic if used more than once. Common usage was for removing stray bits of snuff after snorting from the hand.<br />
Today a man’s handkerchief is often worn purely in a decorative way with colours that match ties and cravats and blend in with the wedding colours.<br />
The Victorian groom and groomsmen went for the more flamboyant look on wedding days by hanging <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/handkerchief">silk handkerchiefs</a> out of their back pockets and many of these handkerchiefs were just as decorative as the ladies ones.<br />
<a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/handkerchief">Men’s handkerchiefs</a> can be plain, patterned or monogrammed. Most are made from cotton, an easy care fabric and used on a daily basis. The handkerchief used to accessories is made from linen or silk and they can be folded and worn in different styles. Other materials are polyester and satin.<br />
Silk is not ideal for folding or keeping shape but is more often than not placed inside the pocket for that individual look and style. Practice whichever one suits your taste and you may be surprised just how different you can have your handkerchief look than others.<br />
You can usually find men&#8217;s handkerchiefs for sale anywhere <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com">men’s accessories</a> such as socks and <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/silk-ties">silk ties</a> are sold. Specialty shops also carry them with initial monograms on them.<br />
Whichever style your groom or wedding party decide to use the material of the handkerchief should only show above the pocket an inch to an inch and a half and if there is a monogram on the handkerchief etiquette dictates that it should never be shown while on display in the pocket.</p>]]></summary><updated>2009-09-02T22:06:03+01:00</updated><published>2009-09-02T22:06:03+01:00</published><author><name>S  Buckinghams</name></author><link href='http://www.sbuckinghams.com/blogs/news/1221952-history-of-mens-silk-pocket-handkerchiefs' rel='alternate'/></entry><entry><id>tag:db1@shopify.com,2009:articles/1151282</id><title>Making a style statement with your Necktie</title><summary type='html'><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0027/6132/files/WS3957_medium.jpg?1243886730' alt=' Mens Purple and Navy Woven Silk Tie SB-WS3957' /></p>
<p>Metropolitan men realise that first impressions are determined by their dressing up sense and clothes they wear. To be perceived as a man of integrity and character, you have to dress the part. However, in the current economic climate, many men will avoid spending too much on their attire. While an expensive designer suit can be easily distinguished from an inexpensive quality compromise, most men in suits do blend in the crowd. That is where a <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/silk-ties">Silk Tie</a> can make you stand out. Ties come in a huge range of styles, each one individual in its own right, makes a different style statement.<br />
Men who wear beautiful <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/silk-ties">silk tie</a> colour coordinated with a nicely fitted shirt are typically seen as sophisticated and stylish.<br />
While choosing a tie may seem a straightforward task, there are a few things to bear in mind when looking for the right one.</p>
<p>Tie Length – The length of the tie is to be chosen carefully for your height. Ideally, the tie should end above the buckle of your belt. Length can also be adjusted by adjusting the tie knot correctly.</p>
<p>Tie Fabric – The fabric is also very important to consider when pairing a tie with a suit. <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/silk-ties">Silk ties</a>, <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/mens-polyester-microfiber-ties-by-s-buckinghams">polyester ties</a> , woollen ties can be paired beautifully with any shirt and suit.</p>
<p>Tie Pattern – While <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/mens-plain-designer-silk-ties-by-s-buckinghams">solid coloured ties</a> can be worn at most occasions, <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/mens-striped-designer-silk-ties-by-s-buckinghams">striped ties</a> and <a href="http://www.sbuckinghams.com/collections/mens-polka-dot-designer-silk-ties-by-s-buckinghams">polka dotted ties</a> can also be paired with many suits and shirts.</p>
<p>Tie Colour – Ties are available in every colour imaginable. Colours can be varied according to occasions, seasons or mood. Blue ties and Dark Green ties look great on any complexion.</p>
<p>And finally look for the craftsmanship, attention to detail is very important.</p>]]></summary><updated>2009-07-01T19:29:48+01:00</updated><published>2009-07-01T19:29:48+01:00</published><author><name>S  Buckinghams</name></author><link href='http://www.sbuckinghams.com/blogs/news/1151282-making-a-style-statement-with-your-necktie' rel='alternate'/></entry><entry><id>tag:db1@shopify.com,2009:articles/1117962</id><title>How to select a tie for an interview</title><summary type='html'><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0027/6132/files/MF8317_small.jpg?1243886337' alt= 'Wine Red Tie SB-MF8317' /></p>
