No matter what work you do, a gentleman should always have a few good ties on hand for interviews, special occasions, or even a night out when you want to look extra classy. When worn right, a tie can take even the most basic of looks up a couple notches.
Four in Hand Necktie
This is the tie most of us are familiar with. It's a staple in most offices and is certainly appropriate for most formal occasions. This type of tie can come in various variety of widths, colors, pattern and material, so the options are endless. Knots are another way to add some splice to this classic.
Seven Fold Tie
The way this tie is made it doesn't have a lining, but it has a thick meaning that you can form a really nice knot with a very little effort. This type of tie is again great for the office or a formal event. Due to the material, these tie can be a bit pricey, so it may be one you pull out only for special occasions.
Skinny Necktie
Another variation of four in hand tie, skinny ties became popular in the 50s and 60s, with band like beatles wearing them onstage. These ties are still popular today and are great for the offices, but still looks sharp for a night on the town. Skinny ties are great to wear with jeans for a stylish and edgy look.
Bowtie
The bowtie can be a fun alternative to the everyday tie and it is a must have truly formal events. They are extremely popular in the southern states and therefore perfect to pair with seersucker suits. This type of tie can be used in a variety of setting from balls to cocktail parties to everyday wear.
Cravat
A dressier variation of the cravat, the ascot is typically pined rather than knotted. It is used for formal occasion, through some military uniform used as an ascot as opposed to a standard tie. This type of neckwear earned its name by being the choice of neck wear on a race day.
