I’ve decided to start a new trend. It’s a little bit steampunk, a little bit power punk, and a lot of rock and roll.
Introducing the Handkerchief Necktie by John Wayne Hill
The Handkerchief Necktie is exactly as it sounds. Using a handkerchief as a necktie. Simply don your button down shirt, place your necktie around your neck, tie semi-tight, tuck underneath your collar, and fluff a little at the nape of the neck. This creates a sophisticated yet trendy look. All sorts of handkerchiefs can be used, but preference should be given to those with a small pattern on top of a solid color.
Alternate Look
As with many great fashion trends, there is also an alternate look for the handkerchief necktie. In place of a collared shirt trendy persons can instead use a t-shirt and jacket. This creates a lower key look. In this version the handkerchief necktie can either be puffed up around the neck to create a sort of collar, or it can be pushed down to have very little volume. This alternate look would be best suited for more casual settings or perhaps with jeans. Hats also suite this alternate look well.
