72. Ties – Knit vs. Skinny Woven

INFEASIBLE: Knit ties

Okay. Ties. Again. Something so simple I thought no crackhead, let alone designer, could get wrong. But alas, I was wrong; Ralphie has decided that silk is better put as a knit. How so very misguided. Friends, you don’t want your tie to look like a cat clawed at it a thousand times, do you? Of course not. In regards to this particular tie, “soft azalea” is not a color intended for any tie, let along a shambly one.

Feasible: Skinny woven ties

Thin is in and always will be in my book. People talk about how the hipsters have ruined narrow ties forever – I say nay, fellow enthusiasts. Wear yours proud!

    Yea I do wear this kind of tie all the time because it's thinner. I didn't know how to tie a tie for a long time but I learned by watching this video http://www.howcast.com/videos/469-How-To-Tie-a-Tie-Four-in-Hand

    I think women can actually wear this type of tie.
