What To Know About Solid Color Ties

By Krystal Branch


A tie, also known as a necktie, refers to a piece of long cloth that is worn around the shoulders or neck. Typically this is worn for decorative purposes. Usually it is situated to rest under a shirt collar and knotted up at the neck. Variations of this accessory include clip-on, bow, ascot, zipper or bolo ties, or cravats. Solid color ties are one of the many styles that are available.

Many times these are worn by males. Still, there are females who like to wear these as well. The pieces can be purchased from nearly any retail store that has clothing and accessories in stock. Prices will vary based on factors including seller, brand, material and style.

As is true of most fashion pieces, these are available in many styles. Some may feature a pattern or design, others may only consist of one color and no pattern. Some people might prefer the solid types as they are easier to pair with shirts and incorporate into many different outfits. Still, the choice of which tie to wear is often based on personal style and preference of the wearer. There is usually no right or wrong, however there may be some rules when these are worn as part of a uniform.

These accessories may be worn for casual or formal events. The material or style of the piece might dictate which setting it is best suited for. Certain jobs may require that these be worn as part of the official uniform. In such cases, it is common for a solid-colored style to be worn.

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 pieces might also be regarded as a visual symbol. That is, many people associate tie wearers with individuals who are important or hold a high status. This is not always the case, but there is a connotation that widely exists. This is why men and women often wear these as part of formal wear and for important occasions. Still, there are many options available for those interested in wearing these on a day-to-day basis as part of casual wear.

Different fabrics are used in production of ties. The most common materials used are silk, satin, wool, cashmere and polyester. These different fabrics may give off their own look, especially when made in one color. Wool, solid kinds may give the tie more texture and dimension, which can add to the overall look. Synthetic fabrics are known to snag and may look inexpensive and cheap after a couple wears, so these might be best avoided. However, consider the occasion and your budget.

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.
