The necktie made its first appearance in the mid-17th century on Croatian mercenaries in their invasion of France. As part of their standard dress, these mercenaries wore colorful pieces of fabric around their necks. The French picked up on this beautiful trend and in time every noble Frenchman adorned the accessory.
Early men’s ties were quite colorful and elaborate. The man’s necktie as we know it today, a single piece of fabric tied at the neck, did not emerge until sometime in the mid-19th century. And because they were traditionally made of silk, which was very expensive, the trend was reserved for only the very wealthy. It was not until the 20th century that the necktie became a popular and attainable accessory for the average working man.
Throughout the centuries, the necktie has stood the test of time and one thing has proven true—a great tie is a must have accessory for a man that wants to look polished and sophisticated. Many modern workplaces have adopted a more casual business attire. But at Giorgenti, we still believe that there is nothing like a beautiful, woven silk necktie to help you look and feel your best. And with that kind of confidence, who knows how far you can go?
