Celebrities and Their Neckties

Need inspiration to wear a necktie? Here are some of the best known faces and the look that made them stand out through the years. Did you know that Mark Twain himself has been painted wearing a plantation tie, typical of plantation owners of the 1800s. But why go back so far down memory lane? Mass media has made celebrities out of success stories in almost every field and one thing that is common to all celebrities is their desire to be “with the times” when it comes to attire. And the necktie is an essential part of men’s attire for all seasons and all occasions.

Humphrey Bogart was often seen sporting a bowtie, while Ronald Colman, another actor, became known for his sharp dressing sense and elegant style. Elvis Presley often wore the old fashioned neckerchief and kept the style going for a long time. More recently, television game show host Regis Philbin has influenced necktie trends with his luxurious ties in solid colors that match his shirts. The credit for making pink ties a rage lies solely with Donald Trump and his television show, The Apprentice.

Celebrities Caught with Neckties

Here are some recently caught-on-camera celebrities and the neckties they chose to wear:

·         Will Smith was seen wearing a charcoal gray tie with a subtle striped, classic 2-button cut suit at the Wiesenthal Center’s annual National Tribute Dinner.

·         Brad Pitt chose to wear a gray tie that had a very intricate bird’s eye check pattern with a 3-button gray suit in the Prince of Whales check pattern at a recent movie premier in Germany.

·         Leonardo Di Caprio took the elegant gray tie a step further to sport a sleek silver necktie with classic gray suit in a window-pane check pattern at the premier of his movie, Body of Lies.

·         Twilight star Robert Pattison was recently photographed wearing a tuxedo that appeared to be made of velvet with a solid black skinny tie.

·         Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback, was seen swapping his usual jersey and pads for a truly classic black suit with a dark charcoal necktie. The whole appearance was simple yet elegant.

·         R&B singer Chris Brown has taken the necktie out of its usual surroundings and paired it with jeans and a sport coat. To complete the trendy and out-of-the-ordinary look, Brown wore an un-tucked dress shirt and white sneakers. The tie was a solid, bright-blue skinny.

The bottom line is that neckties do not need to be saved up only for that classic, formal look. You can make an extraordinary style statement by thinking out of the box and pairing your tie with apparel that sets you apart from the crowd. Remember, you also need to be confident enough to carry off the style statement with panache.
