It was first invented in France and in no way was it a fashion statement. In fact the tie was a piece of cloth, like a towel, which was used to wipe the mouth at the table. Over the years it became what you call today a tie and it is a fashionable item of clothing. You can buy cheap ones for a few dollars or designer ones at hundreds of dollars.

The wig goes back to about 1660, during the Restoration of the English monarchy, when Charles II returned from France wearing the powdered wig, the fashion of the Court of Louis XIV. The wig soon became fashion for English society.\n\nHowever, it was not until the 19th century that the wig was considered a legal headgear. The distinctive medieval legal headdress was the coif, a piece of white linen originally worn by monks who were acting in a legal capacity. By the late 16th century, the English legal profession wore round, black skullcaps with the white edges of the coif showing underneath.\n\nThe introduction of the judicial wigs had a small version of the skullcap and coif sewn into them. Today, the wig and gown are worn in England & Wales by the lord chief justice, the master of the rolls, the president of the Family Division and the vice-chancellor, lords justices of appeal, High Court judges, Circuit judges, District judges sitting in open court, queen's counsel (QCs) and junior barristers. Suits or other appropriate form of dress (no wigs) are worn in Magistrates' Courts and tribunals. Also, solicitor advocates wear gowns with no wigs. But all of this is changing.

I'm thinking......are you good at fashions?  What about the evolution of clothing?  Why did women wear corsets in the 20's and beyond.  Why was the Nauru collar a dud fashion in America...Why do men still wear ties? ( you could write a book on that alone) Why clogs, why see-through dress's in the 60s, go-go boots, mini skirts....wow! a million different fasts and opportunities and lots and lots of  pictures on the web.  Even throw in some early photos of fashions from your folks family album, grand parents. THE EVOLUTION OF FASHION...right up your alley...right.  Let me know how it turned out.. You're looking at an A+ here.

A Tie Bar is not the same as a tie clasp.  A tie bar goes under the knot on a tie.\n\nThere are 2 types of tie bars(also called collar bars.  The first type has small "balls" on the ends and they go through small holes on the collar turn downs on certain shirts.  The other type has small slits on the ends that slide over the edges of collar turndowns for regular shirts.\n\nYou would get the same effect using Tab collar shirts.

could mean suit instead of black tie affair, or it could be that you could wear a nice pair of dress pants with a button down shirt and a tie.  i would probably stay away from jeans.

Well they used lots of material in those dresses. Today even a cloth as big as a Handkerchief is enough to make it a fashion!!!

The thread is worn by Hindu Brahman men, and they receive it at a ceremony during the teenage years. It is worn at all times, for religious reasons, not to be taken off. It goes back to when Brahmans were priests and wore the thread as part of their profession. They try to wear the same thread all the time, tied diagonally over the abdomen. They usually do not remove it to shower, and it is cleansed with the rest of their body when they bathe.

According to this definition I found "Black Tie means formal. Men wear tuxedos, women wear cocktail, long dresses or dressy evening separates."\ntoday fashion has opened sooo many doors, that there are limitless options to colors, lengths and styles. I think for warmer weathers light colors are appropriate. Gold is a big thing at the moment. What about pastel green...\nlength also is no problem, as long as its not too short. Knee length is perfectly fine, and there are some gorgeous knee length style dresses that widen up at the bottom. \njust dont wear white and puffy, you might be mistaken as the bride!\n\ndon't forget that your body shape and age is a large factor to what styles and colors best suit you. if you are bit larger, stick to simple elegant and black, if you're very petite try simple with bold colors or if you like attention just go crazy....

Black tie: you can wear a long dress or a short cocktail dress. Sometimes, women even wear smart pants and a very smart evening top.\n\nWhite tie: it has to be a long dress (evening gown) but it doesn't need to be poufy or anything. Just very elegant and dressy, especially since the guys will have to wear tuxes with white ties.

A bowtie is normally a subliminal message that tells other women he is married and is effectively neutered.  Hence, women feel more comfortable around a bow tie if they're married- or if they like married men.  The opposite is a large wide tie that hangs down to the belt- once again, a subliminal message phallic symbol

Not true. Some D&Ds in Singapore are real black tie events. It all depends on the company's culture. Of course in Singapore, where dressing up for ball and dinner is rather rare, companies are hesitant to do a high key event, with the risk of the staff not turning up just becos they dun have clothes to wear.

Try this book, it's very informative:\n\nThe Devil's Cloth: A History of Stripes and Striped Fabric\nby Michel Pastoureau\nISBN:0231123663 \n\n\nPublisher Comments:\nMichel Pastoureau´s lively study of stripes offers a unique and engaging perspective on the evolution of fashion, taste, and visual codes in Western culture. \nThe Devil´s Cloth begins with a medieval scandal. When the first Carmelites arrived in France from the Holy Land, the religious order required its members to wear striped habits, prompting turmoil and denunciations in the West that lasted fifty years until the order was forced to accept a quiet, solid color. The medieval eye found any surface in which a background could not be distinguished from a foreground disturbing. Thus, striped clothing was relegated to those on the margins or outside the social order — jugglers and prostitutes, for example — and in medieval paintings the devil himself is often depicted wearing stripes. The West has long continued to dress its slaves and servants, its crewmen and convicts in stripes. \n\nBut in the last two centuries, stripes have also taken on new, positive meanings, connoting freedom, youth, playfulness, and pleasure. Witness the revolutionary stripes on the French and United States flags. In a wide-ranging discussion that touches on zebras, awnings, and pajamas, augmented by illustrative plates, the author shows us how stripes have become chic, and even, in the case of bankers´ pin stripes, a symbol of taste and status. However, make the stripes too wide, and you have a gangster´s suit — the devil´s cloth indeed! \n\nReview:\n"Thinking of wearing that pinstriped suit for lunch with the boss? Or that fancy silk tie? Just be thankful that you didn't live a few hundred years ago, when a getup like that would not only have blown any chance for a raise but could very well have gotten you killed....It was this unlikely observation that prompted Mr. Pastoureau's book." Emily Eakin, The New York Times\nReview:\n"[A] unique little book." Forbes FYI\nReview:\n"The Devil's Cloth kept this reader at the edge of her seat." Seattle Times\nReview:\n"A very winning social- and art-history lesson." Adrienne Miller, Esquire (read the entire Esquire review)\nBook News Annotation:\nA specialist in medieval heraldry, Pastoureau (history of western symbols, Ecole Pratique des Hautes <'E>tudes, Sorbonne) began noticing a long time ago that in medieval documents, figures wearing striped clothes were, in one way or another, negative figures. He starts his account with the 13th century, chronicles the shift from horizontal to vertical and back between the 16th and 19th, and brings the story up through the 20th. Etoffe du Diable was published in 1991 by Editions du Seuil. The translation is by poet and author Jody Gladding \n\nAnnotation c.

Yes stripes are distracting but no, solid ties are boring. Opt for subtle designs. Color - indigo or dark grey. Good luck!
