It happens on October 18 every year the day when we celebrate the tie, an emblem of men’s clothing, also appreciated by the fairer sex.
An accessory that doesn’t want to follow fads, because it doesn’t need to. The tie is there and always will be.
I tell you the little-known origins of this anniversary.
The origins of Tie Day
October 18 is not a random date Academia Cravatica wrapped a giant 808-meter-long red tie around the Roman arena in Pula, Croatia, to pay homage to the symbol of their national identity.
In fact, the tie was introduced into modern fashion by Croatian soldiers serving in France who, by wearing their traditional small knotted scarves, aroused the interest of Parisians and in particular the King of France, Louis XIV, who started a new fashion for the nobility.
Since then, ties have gained increasing popularity and have become a global symbol of style and sophistication. The anniversary was made official in 2008 when the Croatian Parliament unanimously declared October 18 “Tie Day.”
The tie: why we can’t give it up
The necktie is an infallible weapon of seduction; it is the pivotal accessory of masculine elegance, much appreciated by women as well. It is never missing in a respectable wardrobe.
Her great success, and thus why we cannot give her up, is told by history, movies, works of art, songs, and the many celebrities who wear her with sublime elegance and ease.
