March 28, 2013

The skinny tie is an exciting new fashion trend, but it can’t be pulled off by just everyone and it doesn’t work with any outfit either. If you want to pull off the skinny tie appearance you have to put a little effort into your clothing and into you. When properly executed, the skinny tie is a unique and appealing, modern look that sets you apart from other men.

Obey your body

the skinny tieWhile it may be tempting to get into the skinny tie craze, it’s really only made for slender men. For those with a little more heft to their bones, the skinny tie will only emphasize and exaggerate their figure. Heavier men should usually use a traditional tie, which balances with their weight. This may not be as much of an issue with a skinny tie that is not very bright or very bold.

Use a contrasting backdrop

Skinny ties look best on either very white or very dark colored shirts, and they look better in bolder colors too. Wear a light shirt with a dark tie, or a dark shirt with a light tie for an extremely modern and eye-catching appearance. This is especially true if you’ve decided to go without a jacket. Skinny ties are great for bringing together a casual look with formal accessories, so they can also be great for a night on the town. Most skinny ties should stick with more modern patterns than traditional patterns for added emphasis.

Know your audience

In a very conservative office setting, you may want to tone down the skinny tie, but that doesn’t mean you have to lose it entirely. Skinny ties are a fashion statement that can move easily from the corporate world to the fashion world. While a bright tie may not fit, a dark skinny tie will always be a timeless and professional look.

Make sure it fits

A skinny tie is a sleek, elegant look, and your outfit needs to not distract from this. That means that your suit should also be a sleek, elegant suit. You should make sure that your suit is perfectly tailored to your body. This will emphasize your skinny tie and pull the look together. Opt for narrow suit lapels for a classy modern look.

A skinny tie is a great way to broaden your fashion horizons with a single accessory. Skinny ties have been fashionable for many decades among young, slim men and are widely considered both daring and attractive.
