Lost my tie, need help choosing a new one

Any tie would work. Why don't you go to TJ MAXX or Marshalls and bring a girl along with you to help. You can get a name brand tie there for about 5 bucks. Girls love picking crap out.

 

You need to expand your closet man.

 

so that's the color of royal blue.

 

seconded.

 

anything with a little pink in it

 

Wear the shirt, go to your department store of choice and ask them "say, I'm looking for a tie that could go well with this here shirt - got any ideas?". They'll help ya. And don't spend a ton on ties dude. I'm scared to ask how much you spent for the DKNY tie that nobody would probably know was a DKNY tie (unless it actually said "DKNY" on the front which would kinda be tacky).

I used to have to wear a lot of ties for court appearances, client meetings, etc. I'll still buy an occasional tie here and there. I think I have a fairly good feel for quality, look, mens fashion on the tie thing.

The best ties -- by a wide margin -- are those made by Ike Behar. You can roll into a Saks or Nordstroms and spend 80 to 100 for one of those. Don't. I pick mine up at Off 5th, a high end marshalls basically. It carries the overstock for Sak's 5th. The ties will run you 30-40. Located off 59South, around the kirkwood exit -- where the fountains strip center is.

If you're buying DNKY ties - I suspect you're already in that range. Ike Behar ties are better designed, more fashionable, professional looking, chicks tend to like them --- and most importantly -- they tie very well.

You don't wind up with a banana peel, 80's looking, small knot on the top. Even a moron like me can make one of those ties tie well, straight out of a GQ mag.

 

I agree with the pink suggestion.

I also agree with the fact that you should probably buy a few more dress shirts...and ties.

 

For dress shirts, I would strongly recommend the Brooks Brothers No Iron shirts.

They are awesome and should save you a ton in dry cleaning bills.

 

To be honest, I'm not diggin that Royal Blue color.. Pretty bland if you ask me. I agree with above that you should start by expanding your closet.

 

I strongly recommend you stop wearing ties. It made my life a helluva lot easier.

 

A nice skinny black tie with piano keys on it would ROCK with that shirt.

Or maybe this nice knit tie:

 

There is nothing more that says you support this country, than a freedom tie!

 

Red power tie. Would be better if the shirt was a little darker, but that should still be workable. You will project confidence.

 

buy a black shirt and black tie
