    All, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum heading under which to ask for some advice, but here goes: I'm attending a Christmas party this weekend. My suit of choice is a grey wool, windowpane, single-breasted style with a notch collar. I have a dark green and cardinal red striped bowtie...

    Favorite holiday ties -- let's see them...

    I'm looking for some interesting holiday ties. Not the tacky Santa or Frosty tie that your aunt Edna gave you to wear once a year, but seasonally appropriate ties that have a holiday look. Nothing interesting in my closet to post unfortunately, so looking for some inspiration. Thanks!

    Best Ties

    Can someone direct me to a list which identifies the best ties from the very best to lesser quality. I come across great deals occassionaly on ties, but the names are unrecognizable. It would be nice to have such a list as a reference. I have seen plenty of clothes where the maker tries to...

    How to wear a wool tie?

    I am looking for some wool ties for fall/winter, but I am not sure how to wear them. Many of the wool ties out there seem to be skinny. I generally don't wear skinny ties, but was wondering if wool ties are supposed to be slightly skinnier than regular ties (2.75") (I asked this question in the...

    Is Black/Black/Black OK to be formally invisible?

    Hello All, I've never paid much attention to style; I usually just wear what's comfortable, and try not to look like a slob. There are occasions, of course, where I have to dress up, and that is where I would like some input. First, about me: I am 40 years old, 5'6", 140 lbs. I am caucasian...

    Is this an appropriate tie?

    So after reading these forums for a while I decided to upgrade my ties. My current budget allowed me to opt for Brooks Brothers, but a buddy of mine from work told me one of the patterns/colors is juvenile. It's navy, purple, white, and red, and I figured I could wear it with a charcoal grey or...

    Grey/silver grenadine as formal tie?

    Do you think a light to medium grey grenadine (garza fina) works as a formal tie? I fear it might be too informal because of the surface. Problem is I really like the idea of dark blue suit, white shirt, silver tie as formal ensemble but I really, really hate almost all silver (shiny) ties one...

    what to do with a flacid tie

    I searched the forum and didn't see anything specifically on point to my tie's performance issues. I have a silk Armani tie I like a lot. It isn't wrinkled per se, but it looks pretty limp and pathetic---I guess better put, in comparison to many of my newer, crisp/sharp ties, it is lacking...

    My First Order With Cordone 1956 Su Misura

    tie length

    What is the appropriate length of a tie? I tend to wear my ties so they just touch the upper portion of my belt buckle, but I see some rather savvy people wearing their ties either an inch shorter or an inch longer than that.....

    Dimple in the tie for business meetings?

    Hello, I really love this website and the amazing knowledge there is. I have a quick question. I am an entrepreneur trying to make big in the North American (mostly Canadian) business world. I understand having a dimple in the middle of the tie looks elegant and one should aim to have a...
