When wearing a formal suit, wear a beautiful tie, which is both beautiful and elegant, and gives people a sense of elegance and solemnity. However, the tie, which symbolizes civilization, evolved from uncivilization. .
It is said that the tie was invented by British women. It has gone through a long and interesting development process. Britain was originally a country that was backward for a long time. In the Middle Ages, the British relied on pigs, cattle, and mutton as their staple food, and When eating, you don’t use a knife, fork or chopsticks. Instead, you grab a large piece with your hands and hold it to your mouth to nibble. Since there were no shaving tools at that time, adult men all wore unkempt beards. When eating, they would wipe their beards dirty with their sleeves. Women often wash men's greasy clothes. After getting out of trouble, they came up with a countermeasure: hang a piece of cloth under the man's collar, which can be used to wipe his mouth at any time. At the same time, they nailed a few small stones to the cuffs. When you wipe your mouth with your sleeve, you will be scratched by stones. Over time, British men have changed their past uncivilized behaviors, and the cloth hanging under the collar and the small stones on the cuffs have naturally become traditional accessories of British men's jackets. Later, it evolved into a popular decoration - a tie around the neck and buttons on the cuffs, and gradually became a popular style in the world.
