The history of neckties dates back to earl 200 BC with the Chinese Emperor Shin Huang Ti. Today neckties are one of the most popular Father’s Day and Christmas gifts. Over $1 billion is spent each year on neckties in the US alone. This amounts to approx. 100 million ties, which is one tie for every man above the age of 20. Neckties have been used as a status symbol, identity, or occupation. Neckties have even served a more simple purpose to protect the neck or hide buttons on a shirt. While the necktie is a great accessory you need to start with a solid shirt that will help create a professional look and can be used after work for those late business meetings. Today’s men’s shirts are available in solid and stripes depending on what look you are going for.

When shopping for a suit and shirts make sure to set a budget but always look at quality as well as price. Remember that a spending a little more upfront will pay in the long run especially if wear a suit daily. At Blair.com they offer a good selection of men’s dress shirts for a good price.  You can find shirts on sale from $5 to $34 depending on the style and color. An inexpensive suit is fine, but keep in mind quality. The fabric of a cheaper suit will be less refined, and the craftsmanship will not compare with a top-shelf brand. The cheaper suit will show wear and tear more quickly, and you’ll likely have to replace it much sooner than you would a more expensive suit ($500 and up). So when shopping for that new business suit and shirt make sure to explore your options and look for solid colors that you can mix and match. Most men’s wardrobe will contain of three to four basic suits and then you can create multiple combination’s with the right shirt and tie combination that will give you a wide variety of looks.
