Tie Me Up in Style
With men's business casual dressing becoming a more common work dress code, the rules have started to change. In a nod to 1920's glam, a statement can now be made with the simple addition of a seriously chic tie. Whatever your personal style, there is something fitting-and work-appropriate-for you at a store in this great city.
For the trendsetter:
An intentionally wrinkled, raw silk look and the bold blue color make this tie stand out in a crowd-or in the boardroom. The only downside? If you tell anyone where you got it, they're sure to show up a week later wearing the same one... in gray. Armani Collezioni, $145.
For the guy's guy:
Bright, bold stripes make it clear that you're fashion-conscious, but a primary color palette is a gentle reminder of your college glory days. A wear-anywhere basic, this Paul Smith look adds just enough pinache to say you've arrived. And that you're here to stay. $150.
For the label lover:
An all-over interlocking GG print might be just this side of obnoxious, but there's a reason that this lovable Gucci tie has quantity purchasing limits on it at major retailers like Saks Fifth Avenue. Deep navy accented with the Italian fashion house's famous insignia will tell everyone at the office (including that extremely cute new junior associate) that you know what's in. $185.
For the jokester:
Nothing gets your laughable personality across like an absurdly silly-yet somehow cool-pink tie with dancing elephants printed all over it. 100% silk and made in Italy, this Thomas Pink find is a winner that will work with any suit or shirt and slacks. $105.
For the fashionable cheapskate:
Yes, you can look good without maxing out your card on a new tie. Simple stripes and a skinny silhouette say you're clearly up on the latest in style, while a cool gray hue works with every shirt in your repertoire. At a mere $29.95, this Gap find is a must-buy.
