Capsule collection cz. 1: Your tie set for every occasion
Capsule collection: Your tie set for every occasion
Create your capsule collection is to consciously plan your purchases and buy only the necessary clothes and accessories. Such a minimalist approach has many benefits. We focus on quality, not quantity.
We create a well-thought-out closet, from which we can easily prepare a styling for any occasion - from meeting with friends, through daily trips to work, to the most elegant occasions such as weddings.With this approach we save time, but also we avoid over-consumption, which drains the pocket, and in the end we have nothing to carry anyway. Fashion industry promotes bad habits such as shopaholism, blindly following trends, and buying clothes and accessories made of artificial materials.
Cheaper, but more.
The more, the better.
We strongly oppose this approach, therefore, in this article we suggest how to create a quality and versatile capsule collection ties.
On what principle to choose ties?
We're not going to give you the only right combination or specific tie suggestions here. Instead you get the tools, which will allow you to build your capsule collection of ties for your own closet.
To begin with you need to know that ties are chosen based on what:you already have in the closet,you do in life,what kind of personality you have.
Based on the 3 three elements, you will create your ideal capsule collection.
How many ties should you have in your capsule collection?
Encouraging you to create your capsule collection does not mean that we put any specific limit on your tie purchase. However, it is a great starting point for building a "tie closet". This means that we set a minimum number of ties (a kind of base) that should be in your closet.
We recommend a number between 5 and 10 ties of varying degrees of formality.
With such a set, you will have a tie for every occasion.
Printed silk ties with pattern
And again - it's not about specific patterns and colors, because they should be consistent with the rest of your closet.If your closet is dominated by gray, navy blue and white, then a yellow tie, for example, would be fitting. This is a great solution that conquers the styling consisting of a gray suit and a white shirt. Or from a navy blue suit. However, it is worth noting that such men's styling is suitable for spring.

Color psychology
Colors can evoke certain emotions. For example, a yellow tie has an optimistic and energizing effect. So you can make your interlocutor smile with it. A red tie will strongly attract attention, while a blue tie will inspire confidence. A tie with multiple colors and an interesting pattern will evoke thoughts in turn: This guy has style! (of course, if the whole styling is consistent).
It is also worth being color-conscious concerning the time of day or the year.For winter, we suggest more subdued silk ties referring to colors such as navy blue, blue, purple.
Look at the tie on the right - consists of all the colors listed above with a delicate, very slight yellow accent. So we can say that the color scheme of the tie is cool, which is great for winter.
How many printed silk ties are worth having in your capsule collection?
We are betting here on 3-5 ties made of printed silk to match your style and overall closet. It doesn't matter what the design will be, it's important that it is and that it emphasizes your personality.
Classic or bold silk tie?
A tie is part of your style in expression of personality, therefore, you yourself know best whether you feel better in subdued, less conspicuous ties, or whether you prefer to choose a bold, color-intensive pattern.Often the choice is dictated by the man's personality and lifestyle. You are art director? You are unlikely to choose a subdued, single-colored tie. Your outfit alone is supposed to show your creativity.
If, on the other hand, you work in an office or bank, then by your attire you should inspire public confidence, and, consequently, navigate through subdued additions that will be understood by every customer. This type of competition is not entirely about intriguing with your outfit, but about building a sense of security in your interlocutor.
Take a look at the following silk ties and consider: bold or subdued?
Tip: replace your silk ties from time to time
Nothing lasts forever and you will probably get bored with your patterned ties after a while. Maybe you decide that you want to bet on more extravagant designs now, or maybe the thought arises that you want more blue ties. If you bet on quality and choose ties made of Italian materials, sewn by hand (that is, for example, those from our store), they will not be damaged even after years.
That's why I recommend you resell them on Vinted or Allegro or give to a friend. This way someone will still enjoy the tie and you will buy a new one.
Striped tie
One of the ties should allow you to create club set, that is, match with gray flannel pants and navy blue jacket. Such a set requires the wearing of a single striped tie (so-called. regimental tie).
Regiment is a formation such as infantry. The word also applies to certain social groups - doctors, graduates of a particular university, police officers.It is worth knowing that striped ties have their roots in 19th century England. To this day, they are a sign of membership in a regiment, school, or association. Therefore, do not wear ties in which a particular arrangement of stripes runs from the heart to the sword (that is, diagonally from left down to right). Especially if you are going to meet the English. But rest assured - in our store you can buy ties whose stripes run in reverse in accordance with respect for tradition.
Grenadine tie
Capsule collection requires the possession of at least two grenadine ties. You need to think about what color of grenadine you need and want to have.Recommended bottle green, burgundy, brown, i.e. typical bestsellers.
They go great with navy blue and gray, so they are extremely versatile.If you are thinking of a blue grenadine tie or a gray one, know that they are very versatile, but still, we do not recommend them as the first choice when it comes to grenadine.Grenadine by definition, it is smooth and this is what we recommend. On the smooth grenadine, the light is arranged in an attractive way, and the whole styling looks brilliant, unique and intriguing.
Shantung tie
One-color shantung, perhaps striped, will be a nice addition to the capsule collection. A distinctive feature of shantung is the effect of over stretched fabric. Take a peek at the photo opposite.
A shantung tie should be paired with visually heavy materials such as jeans and a visually heavy wool jacket such as tweed.In our opinion, it is very difficult to defend it in summer in combinations with linen and cotton. It can be said that this is the least formal tie of all those mentioned so far.
