TIES

The necktie has a long history, transforming significantly since it's earliest ancestor, the neckerchief, which was worn in the mid-1600’s (although it resembled more closely a bandana than today’s ties). Along the way, men’s neckwear saw cravats, scarves, ascots, and bow ties before the modern-day long tie emerged at the turn of the 20th Century. Widths have gone from the super skinny of the 40’s to the ultra wide of the 70’s. Today’s dandy styles are more on the narrow side (although not as skinny as the rocker-ties of today). Embrace the narrow tie for a slim, sophisticated look.
