First Euro 2012 Tie Kicking Off Soon

We are just over 24 hours away from the start of Euro 2012.

Although football is top of the agenda, style is also a prominent feature of the build up to any major tournament and things have been no different this time around. Most amusingly, Mario Balotelli got a slap around the head from Italian team-mate Thiago Motta when he tried to rearrange his tie for him. That's a warning not to mess with a well-dressed Italian's tie without being invited!

We know it is difficult to keep your hands off such a fine garment Mario, so why not buy ties to your satisfaction at Ties Planet!

Followers of this blog will know that we previously selected Manchester City as winners of the 2011/12 Premier League, based on the closest tie to match their club colours. Look out for our Euro 2012 selection very soon!

Treat Dad with a Tie

Father's Day is just 2 weeks away and it is about time you thought about buying a present for his special day. After all, it only comes round once a year, so why not show your appreciation by treating your dad to a tie, something he can wear and treasure all year round.

Alternatively, if you just feel obliged to buy something for the old grump, why not think about making him smile with a novelty tie from Ties Planet?!

Grab Your Tuxedo for Black-tie Events

The English language is changing and according to The Guardian people now refer to their attire for a Black-tie event as a tuxedo rather than a dinner jacket.

One piece of clothing unlikely to be changed by an influx of US terms is the bow tie. Ties Planet currently have well over 100 bow ties to choose from, so whether you want plain black or something more jazzy, silk or polyester, pre-tied or self-tie, there will be something to fit your requirements.

Although bow ties are a hot trend at the moment, it is well worth adding a quality bow tie or two to your wardrobe for future events. After all, style never goes out of fashion even if some words in the English language do.

In the Pavilion and Long Room at Lord's gentlemen shall wear "lounge suits or tailored jacket and trousers, shirt, tie or cravat and shoes with socks".
