Summer Elegance: Say Yes or No to Ties?

The favorite season of light and colorful fashion-lovers is coming!

Summer could undermine a man who does not intend to give up his noble elegance and the heat may not be a good ally.

Every year we ask ourselves many questions about how to dress in summer so as not to lose that decor that so distinguishes gentlemen during the colder seasons, thanks to some items of clothing such as coats, blazers, cashmere sweaters and so on.

However, the biggest question will always remain only one: in summer, tie yes or tie no?

Fortunately, there is no rule and the advice is always to follow your own way of being in order not to risk losing that elegance that fully expresses your personality.

No suit and no luxury accessory can ever compete with the naturalness of a man at ease in the clothes he wears.

Of course, there are situations or professions that "impose" a certain dress code on certain occasions, but this does not imply that you are forced to follow this rule every single day.

Which fabric to choose to contrast the summer heat and above all which color to prefer so as not to risk weighing down your look?

If in the summer no one would ever dream of wearing a wool tie, the same must be done with synthetic ties. Although at first glance they seem fresh and light, what they hide is the non-breathable material they are made of. By retaining the heat, your body will not be able to cool down and this will trigger the action of the sweat glands which will increase sweat.

The advice is therefore to always choose light and breathable natural materials, such as silk, the must-have fabric for all seasons.

Thanks to its hypoallergenic nature, silk will restore freshness and optimal comfort even during the hottest seasons.

Two other fabrics that are accomplices of beach walks are linen and cotton. Not only the shirts, but also the ties made of these materials can counteract the summer humidity, giving your style a sense of harmony and lightness.

Let's now go to men's favorite colors for summer ties.

Again, there is no rule; in fact, a lot depends on the dress you wear and the occasion you are on. Certainly in summer it is always better to opt for lighter shades and avoid colors such as black, navy blue or dark brown, which will only attract the sun's rays.

Pastel-colored ties will stand out and give a glamorous touch to any look, even the most formal. The shades are infinite; from light blue to lilac, from yellow to green or simply a delicate peach pink.

And on more informal occasions? If a bright amaranth-colored tie is not enough for you and you feel like daring a little more, choose patterns with small polka dots or floral elements, you won't regret it!

There are many occasions in which it is possible to give up the tie, the important thing is not to lose the sense of good taste and stumble into some mistakes such as wearing the jacket over a t-shirt or a polo shirt, risking a short-sleeved shirt or simply choose dark colors.

Slightly unbuttoning the shirt is an excellent way to still look elegant without using a tie. Of course, it must be done with style, otherwise you risk staining your entire outfit

The last tip for those who do not want to wear a tie in the summer is to opt for a split, built with minimal and light clothes, such as a pair of chinos combined with a cool cotton blazer. You got it right, the blazer. Don't be afraid of long sleeves, if you choose the right fabrics and light colors, I assure you that a light blazer will never keep warmer than a simple shirt.
