When it comes to ties alot of people seem to reach for high end brands like Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabana and Burberry for even the simplest ties. I myself would prefer not to spend a down payment on a car for a piece of silk that makes me look like a walking billboard. However, when it comes to ties i prefer simple cottons usually solid or subtly patterned or a nice silk one in a classic color & definently understated. It's alright to get a little pop from the cotton tie, pattern wise, but the shine of the silk is something that already catches attention, therefore i would stick with small polka dots, stripes, or maybe small critters. Before i get ahead of myself though i would recommend American Apparel for nice solid cotton ties and J. Crew for your silk ties. American Apparel's cotton ties usually go for about $18-20 and J. Crew's silk ties range from about $30-60 dollars, but make sure to check out all the sales they have going on. Their ties, for the quality and styling, are definently more than worth it. And lastly, when it comes to the size of your tie you should make it proportional to you torso. The smaller your torso, the smaller the tie. The bigger you torso the bigger the tie. Good luck...and be sure to comment.
