Skinny Neckties: History Repeats Itself

As the age old adage goes ‘history repeats itself’, history is truly repeating itself in the case of neckties. Vintage is the way to go this year, with skinny neckties coming back into fashion.

Why Skinny Neckties?

Many might question the re-emergence of skinny neckties despite their popularity. The best part about these neckties is that they can be worn casually and still look classy or can also be sported formally. What is so special about these skinny neckties is that, for a casual look, you can wear them with an open top collar of your dress shirt and in fact, even without a formal suit. Many male models in fashion shows have been seen sporting skinny ties, ending just above the waistline, with an open collar and a pair of denim pants. In fact, not just men, even women have been seen to wear skinny neckties as part of their fashion statement. Ellen Page was seen sporting a cool casual look with a black skinny necktie at the Independent Spirit Awards.

Apart from casual, you can never go wrong with skinny neckties and formal suits. Brad Pitt and Jonathan Rhys Myers were seen wearing skinny neckties at the Golden Globe Awards. They looked classy, handsome and absolutely stylish. These neckties give you an edgy look with your traditional formals. The most commonly worn color in skinny neckties is black. Black is an ever-green color when it comes to formal wear and is something you can blindly pick and wear for any occasion.

The Length and Width of Your Skinny Necktie

The length of your skinny necktie depends upon the kind of look you are aiming for. Either ways, the length ideally should not be below your belt line. A shorter length gives you a sporty, younger look. Shorter lengths are usually not for formal but for casual wear. Most people will tell you that 1.5 inches to 3 inches is a good width for skinny neckties. In fact 1.5 inches is ultra-skinny but it looks dashing nonetheless. However, if you go any thinner than 1.5 inches, it is as good as wearing your shoelaces! Hence, the best advice would be to avoid this at all costs. Stick to 1.5 inches to 3 inches.
