Choosing the Perfect Silk Tie
![]() |
The silk tie is an important part of the male wardrobe. Many men wear neckties every day as part of their career apparel. There is an incredible variety of necktie choices on the market today. You will find everything from designer ties from names like Armani and Hugo Boss to budget priced ties from less recognizable names. Most men shop for their ties in department stores, which usually carry an attractive selection of ties from various manufacturers in many different styles, colors and patterns. While trends in ties have changed over the years, some rules of style remain the same.
The most common width for a tie is approximately three and one-fourth inches. Ties may range in length. When it comes to color and pattern, there are many choices. Solids are always a classic choice. Regis Philbin caused a solid tie craze when he wore a monochromatic look on the hit show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Your solid tie can match your shirt and jacket or contrast. It's all about the look you're going for. If you want something conservative, a striped tie in muted tones is a good choice. Common colors in striped ties include navy and burgundy.
Gray and black ties can add a bit of an edge to the traditional necktie. The silk material gives pale gray a silvery sheen. If you want a traditional look with a sophisticated touch, go for a paisley tie. There are also plenty of fun novelty ties that can be worn for special occasions or even every day depending on what your job description is. At more relaxed workplaces you can get away with most any kind of tie. There are ties depicting sports like golf, animals, products, holiday icons and more. For example, a waiter at a fun Tex-Mex restaurant may wear a novelty tie emblazoned with chili peppers.
The silk tie is a classic yet modern piece of men's apparel. If you are looking for a great gift for a man in your life, you can't go wrong with a tie. Whether a man wears a tie every day or once a year, the act of putting on a tie can be a ritual shared between family and friends. Many a wife has straightened her husband's tie, many a father has instructed his son on the art of tying a tie. Wearing a tie often imparts a man with an air of confidence in his appearance that translates into his interactions in the world.
