Soft knit ties, as you can see here have a really smooth feel. They're very soft and they work well with casual outfits. On the other hand, crunchy knit ties are stiffer, they're not as smooth and when you pinch them in your hand, you can hear the cry of the silk, which is why they're called the cri de la soie. It's actually being made on a hundred-year-old machine that was originally used for sock making. Soft Knit ties, on the other hand, are made in an entirely different way. They are knit like modern socks in a round machine where you cannot see any seam in the back. TIE KNOT. Personally, I always suggest to wear just one knot which is the four in hand knot. Simply because knit ties are thicker than regular ties and if you choose anything else, your knot gets really big and chunky. STYLE TIPS. Originally, knit ties were casual, they were very informal and nobody would ever wear them with a suit however, today, you can wear them in any way, shape or form you desire. On the other hand if you want to wear a suit, I would opt for solid knit ties that are a little stiffer because it just gives the whole outfit a different dimension and you can even wear them with a business pinstripe suit. Today, I'm wearing a cri de la soie crunchy silk knit tie from Fort Belvedere and I chose it because my jacket had beige tones, is a worsted fabric which is a little bit more formal than let's say a tweed. It has peaked lapels which is also more formal than a notched lapel and this is double breasted which is more formal than a single breasted jacket. And so, I opted for the crunchy version and in brown it harmonizes well but provides enough contrast. Because the cri de la soie knit ties are stiffer, you can do things like popping your tie knot a little bit so it stands up and gives you a different look. Overall, you can wear knit ties with any kind of outfit today unless you're wearing traditional morning wear or evening wear such as a tuxedo or white tie. Do not wear knit ties with those combinations. Tie bars and clips are sometimes a little bit more difficult to use with knit ties simply because they are so thick. If you want to use an accessory like a bar or a clip, I suggest you take the clips 'cause they give you more room to actually get underneath the shirt and over the tie without destroying the tie. MATERIALS. Most knit ties today are made of silk for various reasons. One, silk has a beautiful luster so it looks great. Two, it really feels nice in your hand and it has the right kind of consistency for the drape and it's just overall a great fiber that's very durable. Another popular material for knit ties is wool or cashmere. It's very soft but due to its consistency and feel, it's really only suited for fall winter outfits. Lately, we've also seen blends such as linen cotton blends, linen and wool, linen and silk. Overall, I would say only use these materials during spring summer season. The texture of knit ties is similar to grenadine ties however, it's even more pronounced and different so if you want to add another dimension to your outfits, go with knit ties with a strong texture. One thing that;s very important for knit ties is the width. If you wear skinny lapels, you want a skinny knit tie. If you want wider lapels like this one, you'll want the wider knit tie. Also, keep in mind that knit ties are straight so if you have a seven centimeter knit tie, it's as wide on top as a nine-centimeter regular tie. Just keep that in mind when you pick the right widths for your lapels. STORAGE. There are two ways to store your knit ties. One is to take your knit tie to simply roll it up and store it like this.Personally, I roll up all of my knit ties after I've worn them for about a day. Once the day has passed, I unroll them and just hang it on my rack like so. ======================================= Gentleman's Gazette https://gentl.mn/1P2VRI5 https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/ Facebook:   / gentlemansgazette   Instagram:   / gentlemansgazette   FREE EBOOK: https://gentl.mn/1TGtaCN
