According to the theory of tie protection, ties originated from Germans, who lived in deep forests, ate hair and drank blood, and wore skins to keep warm and keep out the cold. In order not to let the skin fall off, they tied the skin around their necks with straw ropes and tied it up. In this way, the wind cannot blow in from the neck, which keeps them warm and windproof. Later, the straw rope around their necks was discovered by westerners and gradually improved into ties. Others think that ties originated from fishermen by the sea. Fishermen go fishing in the sea. Because the sea is windy and the weather is cold, fishermen tie a belt around their necks to keep warm, which gradually becomes a decoration. Protecting the human body to adapt to the geographical environment and climate conditions at that time is the objective factor of necktie, and this kind of straw rope and belt is the most primitive necktie.
The theory of bond action holds that the territorial integrity belt originates from the needs of people's lives and has a certain purpose. Here are two legends.
A kind of cloth, which is thought to have originated from British men's collars, is specially designed for men to wipe their mouths. Before the industrial revolution, Britain was also a backward country, eating meat by hand, and then holding it to your mouth for chewing. Beards became popular among adult men. When chewing a large piece of meat, the beard becomes greasy, and men wipe it with their sleeves. In order to deal with men's untidiness, women hang a piece of cloth under men's collars and let them wipe their mouths. Over time, the cloth under the collar has become a traditional accessory for British men's coats. After the industrial revolution, Britain developed into a developed capitalist country. People are very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the cloth hanging under the collar becomes a tie.
Another legend holds that during the Roman Empire, ties were used by the army for practical purposes, such as cold protection and dust prevention. The army went to the front to fight, and the wife hung a square towel similar to a silk scarf around their necks to stop the bleeding for her husband and friends in the war. Later, in order to distinguish soldiers from companies, scarves of different colors were adopted, which became the necessities of today's professional clothing.
The theory of tie decoration holds that the origin of tie is the expression of human beauty. /kloc-In the middle of the 7th century, a Rhodia rider in the French army returned to Paris successfully. They wore mighty uniforms and scarves around their necks. They are all beautiful in all colors, and they look very energetic and imposing when riding on horses. Some fashionable playboys in Paris saw it and were very interested. They followed suit and tied a scarf on their collars. The next day, a minister went to court and tied a white scarf on his collar and a beautiful bow tie in front. King Louis XIV saw it and praised it. He publicly declared that the bow tie was a symbol of nobility and ordered the upper class to wear it like this.
To sum up, there are many theories about the origin of ties, each with its own views and certain truth, and it is difficult to convince the other party; But obviously, ties originated in Europe. Tie is a product of the development of human society's material culture to a certain extent, and it is an (opportunity) product. Its development is influenced by the wearer and observers. Marx said: "Social progress is the pursuit of beauty by human beings." In real life, in order to beautify ourselves, make ourselves more perfect and attractive, human beings have a desire to decorate themselves with things provided by nature or man-made. The origin of the bond fully illustrates this point.
3. Once upon a time, there was a businessman in the west who wanted to go somewhere to talk about a business deal. This business is very important to him. If the business transaction is not successful, he can't live, so when he goes out, he puts a cloth belt around his neck and prepares to hang himself in despair. Fortunately, the transaction went smoothly. The businessman succeeded, so he didn't kill himself.
After the news of the cloth belt incident spread, people followed suit. On key occasions, many people like to put a cloth belt around their necks, on the one hand, to facilitate their death in despair, and on the other hand, to enhance their confidence in winning. Over time, the cloth belt evolved into today's tie.
The Origin and Dress Knowledge of Men's Suits and Ties
The history of suits
Western-style clothes, which originated in Europe in the17th century, have become the daily clothes of men all over the world on various occasions. The reason why suits are enduring is not only that the dressing effect can reflect elegance, simplicity, straightness, crispness, exquisite craftsmanship and fit, but also that the wearer has a long age span and is suitable for three generations. Another important reason is that it has profound cultural connotation. If you want to understand the suit culture, you can't help but review the history of the suit.
The ancestor of the suit: 1690, Cole, Gierster.
/kloc-In the Louis XIV era in the second half of the 7th century, the knee-length coat "Jistekol", the slightly shorter "Best" and the tight-fitting trousers "Kyurot" came onto the historical stage, forming the composition form of modern three-piece suits and many wearing habits. Generally speaking, Steckel's front placket is unbuttoned, just a few buttons above and below the waistline-this is the origin of the wearing habit of buttoning a modern single-breasted suit, which is not impolite, but more than two buttons and only one button.
The ancestor of iron: 1705, Krabat.
From 1670 to 1675, Croatian hussars served as the guards of Louis XIV in Paris. They are called "Clabat Guards", and a piece of linen around their necks has aroused people's imitation and become an indispensable ornament for men's neckline. This is the ancestor of modern ties, Krabat. At that time, how to tie this belt was one of the criteria for evaluating the elegance of aristocratic children. Therefore, many nobles specially hired attendants to do this work.
Pants are the product of the French Revolution: 1829, Pontaron.
1789, revolutionaries in the French revolution wore pants "Pontarone" as a revolution to the aristocratic tight-fitting trousers "Kyurot". At first, Pang Tarone's trousers only reached the calf, and then gradually became longer, reaching the foot surface at 1793. In the first half of the19th century, the trouser legs were tight and loose, and they coexisted with the traditional half trousers. By the 1950s, men's trousers had completed the modern modeling.
Modern suit born in lounge: 1853, Laonki jacket
In Victorian England, there were many manners, especially in social activities at night. Men must wear evening dresses, behave gracefully and talk appropriately. After dinner, men can gather in the lounge next to the restaurant for a nap. Only here can they smoke, drink brandy, joke or lie on the sofa. At this time, the tight tuxedo seems out of place. As a result, a loose tailless jacket, known as "Laonki jacket" and produced around 1848, entered the stage of history as lounge's special dress. For quite some time, this kind of coat is not elegant, and it is only used for leisure occasions such as rest, outing and walking. In the second half of the19th century, this kind of jacket became an important variety of men's wear. At that time, Oxford jackets and Cambridge coats worn by students at Oxford University and Cambridge University were also of this shape. The 1980s was a retro era. With the recovery of the world economy, western traditional architectural clothing culture has been paid attention to again. In the late 1970s, the inverted trapezoidal suit returned to the traditional British style, but different from the past, people pursued comfort in this traditional style. The amount of chest relaxation is large, the barge head becomes larger and the buckle position decreases. The free combination of jumpsuits and trousers with different colors is very popular. People pursue the unrestrained leisure atmosphere in the steady traditional modeling, in order to find the feeling of traditional beauty in the relaxed and comfortable leisure-flavored suit. In this context, the "pastoral style" made of British tweed is very fashionable, and since then, leisure suit has become increasingly prosperous.
The most orthodox suit style, coat, trousers and vest are all sewn with the same fabric and color, and consist of three-piece suit, tie and vest. However, the British style vest is very unpopular in China, and few people wear it now. Especially in Shanghai, it is not very cold in winter, so few people wear it. In fact, I really appreciate the three-piece suit, especially pierce brosnan in Around the World in 80 Days, which makes me feel very elegant and gentleman. So take the three-piece suit as an example to make some introductions. A three-piece suit, including vest, should be 14 pockets. The connection began in the Roman Empire. At that time, soldiers wore scarves and ties around their necks. It was not until 1668 that ties began to change into today's style in France and developed into an important part of men's wear. But at that time, the tie had to be wrapped around the neck twice and hung casually at both ends. And there are three or four wavy ribbons with knots under the tie.
1692, on the outskirts of Gohlke, Belgium, the British attacked the French barracks. In the panic, the French officer was too busy to tie a tie according to etiquette, just around his neck. In the end, the French army defeated the British. Therefore, the Stengelk tie has become a part of aristocratic fashion.
After entering the18th century, the tie was unlucky, and it was replaced by a white gauze "collar" (folded three times, with both ends passing through the black knot tied on the wig at the back). But since 1750, the decoration of this kind of men's wear has been eliminated. At this time, the "romantic" tie appeared: it is a square white yarn, which is folded obliquely first, then folded several times, and tied with a knot on the chest. Ties are very exquisite, and are known as real works of art. From 1795 to 1799, a new wave of neckties has arisen in France. People wear white and black ties, and even wear Madras ties when they take a shower. The bow tie is tighter than before.
19th century tie covers the neck. Later, there was a "hard chest" tie, which was pinned. It is made of various materials, such as satin and velvet. Black and colored ties are very popular. In the 1970s, the automatic tie was first introduced. The second imperial era (1852- 1870) is called the era of iron invention. Tie clips appeared in the 1920s, and knitted ties appeared in the 1930s. But the most important change is the popularity of ties, which has become an indispensable part of men's wear of all ages and all walks of life.
