THE WELL-KNOTTED TIE
A plump, well-knotted tie is a beautiful thing. But nothing shatters the lines of a classic suit faster than an ill-fitting collar/ tie combo. There are reams of instruction videos on the internet, just be sure to follow this simple rule: wide collar, wide knot. You don’t need to learn the whole kaleidoscope of knots, but keep the Windsor and the Four In Hand in your repertoire.
According to Australian fashion designer Edwin Pireh, “Ties are an inspiring representation of a man’s personality and style. They anchor an outfit, promoting the junction point at the neck with a satisfying knot and dimple, hiding the unsightly vertical button effect from your shirt and highlighting your buckle area with a striking tip.”
Edwin Pireh has a reputation for designing luxury pieces. Celebrating a tradition of handmade craftsmanship, Pireh collaborates with some of Europe’s finest fabric weavers and printers. Work Style magazine Italy recently named him among its Top 18 finest necktie designers in the world. Pireh, the only Australian designer to be named, placed alongside Salvatore Ferragamo and Canali.
