ted baker discount I had never heard of wooden ties or wooden bow ties until around two years ago when I saw a stall dedicated to them at a Christmas market in London. At first I thought they were no more than a new type of novelty tie, in other words no person wearing one could be taken seriously. Ever since my first impression however, I have gradually started to believe and see how they really may be on right track to becoming the next major male fashion trend.As I said, I first came across these ties over two years ago. The wooden tie stall at the Christmas market was always busy and had a constant stream of people fascinated by the concept. People were all over the ties and appeared to be getting very excited at the prospect of buying some for themselves or for relatives or friends as Christmas gifts. There were a lot of different designs of wooden ties and wooden bow ties including plain designs, stripe designs, pattern designs, colour designs and abstract designs. There were far too many different designs to count but there would have been easily over 50 different designs of ties. Just like the novelty tie, these seemed to make perfect Christmas gifts, I just wasn't sure if it was any more than this and whether or not they would ever be found in a store outside a Christmas market.I believe that the difference between these wooden ties being a new fashion trend or a fad is whether they actually look good on people. What didn't occur to me when I first saw them at the Christmas fair was that they can actually look great on a lot of people. They are versatile and can look good in both formal and social occasions. From what I've heard and seen, people from all walks of life can pull off wearing them. I have seen high end party goers wear them, teachers at school, creative people such as designers, interviewees - I've even heard of lawyers and investment bankers wearing them to work too. The irony is that the vast majority of these people wear wooden ties and wooden bow ties in order to look good and be taken seriously. I have heard several people say that they help them stand out in a good way and stick out from the crowd. As a result, I have heard that they are particularly good for job interviews.From walking around London, there are definitely a lot more of these ties around then two years ago where I hardly noticed any. If the increase in popularity for these wooden ties and bow ties that I have observed can continue at this rate into the future then I really do believe that we have a new long term fashion on our hands. If not then they may just be another short term fad – although in this case I very much doubt it since they look so good on so many people.,Who would have thought that the human act of perspiring could inspire the naming of so many items of clothing? We’ve got sweaters, sweat pants, sweat shorts and, of course, the sweat shirt. Since this last entry in the hall of sweat is neither a sweater nor a shirt, and since for the people who wear them, breaking into a sweat is an unlikely occurrence, their naming is rather odd.Wherever they and their name come from, sweat shirts have been a staple of the Western wardrobe for several decades, surviving the inevitable mutations into hoodies and those day-glo tops worn by TOWIE characters on their way to have their eyeballs waxed. Zips and pockets, string-pulls, insignia and elastication have all become normal in the realm of the sweat shirt, and like all garments of the common person, they have become items of the designer repertoire, albeit at quadruple the price for essentially the same thing.One thing the sweat shirt has never successfully, done, however, is made the leap into formal wear. You can’t quite say that about the tee shirt, which can be worn under a suit jacket in a relatively formal business context. So there must be something inherently casual about those long sleeves and slightly thicker material that has kept them away from the board room. The answer probably lies in the cut. Tee shirts can be made to fit the contours of the body; indeed they are the top of choice for any guy who’s rather proud of the fruits of his bench presses. But the sweat shirt simply doesn’t work as a tighter top. It needs to hang loose and absolutely be a piece of casual wear, otherwise it will just look like a sweater that’s not been very well looked after.There’s a good deal of crossover between the sweat shirt and its short-sleeved cousin, however. The main similarity is that because they are both made from jersey cotton, they are smooth enough to carry prints. Slogans, logos, corporate branding, football team insignia and all manner of imagery and text have made their way onto the fronts and backs of sweat shirts, making them a great tee alternative, particularly useful in colder climes. They’re also remarkably comfortable; you can forget you’re wearing one after a while. And finally, they’re perfect for layering, again a boon for wearing when the weather’s changeable or frosty. Some people layer their sweat shirts backwards, too, that is, under a tee shirt so the long sleeves hang out from the tee sleeves.There’s a rich history of sweat shirts to explore, if you are into that sort of thing. No doubt your local vintage clothing shop will have plenty of them to choose from. They come in every colour imaginable, and usually carry some sort of message whose relevance will either resonate or be completely lost in time. Whether you plan to actually sweat in one or whether they are the comfiest way to enjoy the slacker lifestyle, there’s nothing quite like a sweat shirt to pull on and go about your day.,Its Christmas season… A time to celebrate and exchange plenty of gifts!
