She Knows Best - Lifestyle Tips for Guys

by Arieanna on October 29th, 2005

Are they good, bad, or what? I personally don’t like them, but partially changed my mind when I saw this one ($38):

penguin-skinny-tie

Why it got me: because it seems wider from the oversized stripe and contrast of colours. And you can just see the silkiness of it!

Dudeness,

I like skinny ties a LOT better than the fat, Mike Brady ones. Ward Cleaver made Mikey boy look like a dumpster diner !

Come back, skinny ties, come back !

Skinny ties are alright and they have their place (mainly when just worn with a shirt) but to me it’s all about the fat ties when you’re in a suit, your mileage may vary.

I’m not sure that a skinny tie is a good match for a wide cutaway collar like that - at least if you’re not going to wear it in an Avril Lavigne stylee.

I think it works here because the shirt matches the grey in the tie.

A. is on crack. skinny ties only work on SKINNY people. the other 99.9% should get normal-width ties.

MISS YOU ALREADY!

Wow - I didn’t realise skinny ties had been hot for so long.

I’m loving the look and buy mine from a site called tiesplanet.com - they are pretty good. Does anyone know where else I can buy online?

I started to like skinny ties when I saw Dolce & Gabbana fashion show. Those guys looked nice with skinny tie.
