Do you Baws try and switch up the fabric depending on the seasons as much as possible or what?

Also how often you dry clean or do you just use a clothing steamer at home.


Pro tip I'll use is pick out my tie and hang it in the bathroom first thing in the morning and take a hot arse shower and leave it on while I get dressed.

I remember when I was going to LSU and bartended at Copeland's on Essen, part of the uniform was tobacco ties. I still have a few laying around here and there.



My go to xmas party tie is my one I acquired with black santa clauses all over it


IMO, Tabasco ties are tGOAT... classy with a little spice

Paisley ties are acceptable if you're going for that used car salesman interview.

Apparently, you and I are the only two..but I like paisley ties as well. I usually pick something with a little more contrast than what you showed, though.

I also mix in other ties on the right occasion...usually basically a solid with some kind of small, contrasting dots on it or solid with a few contrasting diagonal lines.

We have pretty similar taste it seems. I seem to gravitate towards more pastal or bold colors as well.

I have a couple more bow ties since it's been more of my thing the last several years.

ETA: just looked, I own one bright orange paisley tie

Personally, I think texture is just as important as pattern.

The below is not my collection, but it is undoubtedly the most tasteful spread I have ever seen. I similarly gravitate towards solids of various textures, especially fina and grossa grenadines, knits, stripes, especially shantung stripes, foulards of small and large scales, macclestefields, wool and cashmere solids and stripes, etc. However, my collection is not quite as large or well-organized.










Bonus of the sport coat collection from the same closet.

A tie anchors a suit/shirt combo, and it shouldn't bee too busy.

Make sure the pattern doesn't clash with your make up, you queer bastard.
