Three Must Have Skinny Ties for Men Under 30

3 Must Have Skinny Ties for Men Under the Age of 30

Ties are no longer an accessory associated with stuffy business meetings. The use of unique fabrics, interesting designs, and trendy cuts, make the necktie the perfect accessory for anyone interested in fashion-forward style. One style in particular has the reputation of being trendy, contemporary, and Euro-stylish. We are talking about the skinny tie. If you appreciate modern cut suits, straight cut pants, and GQ-esque look, then the skinny tie is a must have piece. Below are three styles of skinny ties which you should pay particular attention to for 2013.

The Solid Silk Knit Skinny Tie
Knitted neckties are nothing new. In fact since the 70s men have been wearing knitted neckwear, but not until recently has this forgotten trend resurfaced. For 2013 we suggest knitted ties that are between 2.25 and 2.5 inches in width and feature a plain solid colored design. There are several great ways to wear these pieces. For a more casual approach, pair them with jeans, gingham check dress shirt, urban boots, and vest (or cardigan). For a more preppy/dressy look combine the knitted tie with a double breasted summer blazer, dress shirt, and contrasting dress pants.

A fun way to wear your knitted silk ties. Here the tie is paired with color complementing sports coat, striped shirt, and light gray cardigan. The pair of jeans add a casual touch.

The Cotton Madras Tie
Colorful madras checks are perfect for spring and summer! Pair this summerly pattern and color combination with a summer tie fabric, and you got yourself the perfect warm weather accessory. Needless to say, cotton ties that are slightly narrower in width featuring this unique madras check are a popular choice among younger men looking for a casual and fun summer wardrobe addition. Our tip: Pair a this cotton madras check tie with a navy summer sports coat (cotton or a lightweight wool is best) and light colored chinos.

The color says it all: Summer is here. This fun pattern, bright colors, and summerly cotton fabric create the perfect summer accessory. Choose this tie for summer weddings or casual brunches.

The Worsted Wool or Cashmere Tie
What cotton an linen is to summer, cashmere and worsted wools are to winter. Needless to say, neckties made from either of these two fabrics are perfect for the colder days come late October. Best are worsted wool or cashmere ties that feature muted colors and simplistic designs (solids or collegiate stripe). Our tip: pair a charcoal gray tie made from worsted wool with a 3-piece flannel suit in a slightly lighter shade of gray (ideally showing a window-pane check pattern).

Worsted wool and cashmere are perfect winter and fall tie fabrics. The subtle herringbone pattern on this copper-brown tie adds nice texture while the window-pane check on the suit are an instant attention-grabber.
