Neckties evolved from the Croatian white cravats, and its derivatives went through a lot of changes over the centuries including the evolution of skinny ties. Since their return in 2004 under the label, Band of Outsiders, tying a skinny tie is a global hit among fashionistas.Skinny ties are available in a multitude of materials like polyester, cotton, satin, silk, nylon and other microfibers, and a huge variety of color palettes between subdued and bold shades. They can be square ended or pointed. Patterned skinny ties are good to go with solid color shirts. For an always classic and chic elegance, go for black skinny ties.Tying a skinny tie is trendy for casual and semi-formal outfits too; faddy with tees, vests, tuxedos or even with shirt sleeves rolled up. Skinny ties are hot combos with formal attires, especially suits. Precisely, tying a skinny tie can be more than just a seasonal fashion statement.

Narrow Tie - a Skinny Alternative

With no more than 2.2 inches across, skinny ties look good on small statured men and an eyesore on large built individuals, as their size emphasizes the skinniness of the tie. Slightly large statured men who long to wear slim narrow ties can try ties a tad narrower than the broad ties or broader than the skinnies. Narrow ties that range between 2.5 inches to slightly above three inches, categorized as the medium range, ideally suit anyone and any formal outfit. For an elegant look, let the tie tip rest just above the belt buckle or a couple of inches above it.

Best Tie Knot

While a wimpy tie knot humors the look of any attire, tying a tie is like mastering an art. With various knots to choose from to look right for the occasion, the best tie knots for the skinny ties are the romantic, four in hand, and the Pratt knots.

Pratt knots are the best for shorter ties.Paired with matching cufflinks, skinny ties can prove to be an always style statement that is never overdone, complimenting your perfection.
