Interview: 'Home Tie' Trend, How to Stay Style Even At Home
Reporter: Hello! Today, I'm going to talk about '홈타이,' a trendy fashion item. Many people seek comfortable and stylish styles at home, but I'm nonetheless curious to know why the item 'tie' can be worn at home. First, please briefly explain what a home tie is.
Fashion Expert: Hello! Home tie is a combination of the words "Home" and "Tie," which means a tie that can be comfortably worn at home. Originally, ties were meant for formal occasions, which were seen only at work or in important official settings. However, with the recent increase in people spending a lot of time at home along with working from home, there has been an increasing demand for ties that can be worn comfortably at home without losing style. So, home ties have evolved into a form that can be worn naturally at home, as they are made from a formal, soft, and flexible material.
Reporter: So what is the biggest difference between a traditional tie and a home tie?
Fashion expert: The biggest feature of home ties is their "comfort" and "flexibility." Traditional ties are made of luxurious materials, such as silk and wool, which makes them ideal for formal wear. However, home ties do make a difference in material. Made from a softer, lighter fabric, such as cotton, knitwear, and linen, the feeling of wearing a tie is much more natural and comfortable. Also, if traditional ties usually feature maintaining a certain length and width and tying them, home ties are often designed in a more free and flexible form for easy wearing at home. Because of these differences, home ties are established as items that can be styled naturally at home.
Reporter: So, what is the reason why is the home tie so popular? It seems to be related to the recent trend.
Fashion expert: Yes, as people spend more time at home in recent years, there has naturally been a growing tendency to seek comfortable and stylish styles at home. Especially as telecommuting has become a commonplace since the pandemic, people have come to want to wear some formal attire when working from home. As a result, home ties have emerged, and office workers working from home or those seeking a comfortable and formal style for simple gatherings have begun to look for home ties. They are comfortable to wear at home, but they are emerging as a very attractive item because they can maintain a formal feel.
Reporter: So who are the main targets for wearing home ties? I think there will be a lot of people who work from home.
Fashion expert: Yes, that's right. The main targets for wearing home ties are office workers who work from home. Many people want to be formal when attending video conferences and meetings while working from home, but they don't go out and avoid clothes that are too hard or uncomfortable. Home ties are very useful in situations like this. They are also suitable for gatherings with friends or family at home. This is because when you want to create a more unique atmosphere at home, a home tie is an item that can be stylish yet not excessive. It is also gaining huge popularity among people who value their expression - people who want to enjoy their own style even at home.
Reporter: Do you have any styling tips when wearing a home tie? What kind of outfit would go well with it?
Fashion expert: When styling a home tie, comfort should be considered as the top priority. At home, it is more important to feel natural and soft than formal or excessive styling. First, a home tie basically goes well with casual clothes. For example, it is great to match with a cotton shirt, simple knitwear, or T-shirt. The color can look more natural and luxurious if you choose a soft pastel tone or neutral color. Also, rather than matching it with other accessories or complicated styles, a home tie gives a more sophisticated feel to it simply. For example, it is a good idea to keep the rest of the outfit neat after wearing a home tie. The style is ideal without adding too many decorations or accessories, and the tie is the point.
Reporter: So what is the future of HomeTai? How will this trend develop in the future?
Fashion expert: Home ties are likely to continue to evolve in the future. Since it is expected that more time spent working from home or staying at home will continue to increase, the demand for comfortable and stylish items, including home ties, will increase. In the future, home ties will have more diverse designs and many products using functional fabrics will appear. For example, home ties may be made with materials that absorb sweat or have good ventilation so that you can wear them more comfortably. In addition, there is a possibility that they can be used in travel destinations and leisure activities beyond just wearing them at home. There will be a day when people will be able to wear home ties naturally not only at home but also outside.
