Are "skinny ties" becoming fashionable again? I'm talking about otherwise regular looking neck ties that are only 2.5 inches wide at the widest point.

Never really went out in my opinion. Hipsters tried to ruin it for the regular guy, but you can never let hipsters ruin shite.

Same goes for knit ties, bow ties, tie bars IMO IMHO. I never really quit wearing any. Didn't rock them daily but it did break up the mundane.

Screw what other people "think" for the most part. They are usually the ones most lost.

I ordered some inexpensive ties from a website that I've used before. I was surprised to see how skinny a 2.5 inch wide tie is. I guess I just thought it was going to be a "normal lookking" tie. They look okay to me, but I've seen the trend fluctuate from real wide ties to thin and back again.

I believe they are making a comeback. I purchased three skinny ties to put in my rotation recently.

If they're good enough for Jake and Elwood, they're good enough for me.

Did not say I liked them, they are back though. I don't think people get the shoes/belts color thing. And stripe on stripe for shirt/pants is NOT a look.

Brown compliments navy so much better than black.

Do you put effort into this internet persona of yours? How did you decide on your shtick?

If you're a slim guy with a kick arse fitted suit wear them!! I'm not and wish I could. Just not my body type.

You mean put effort. What is your beef? Skinny ties are one step out of the fifties and look ridiculous. No brown shoes with a blue suit is fashion faux pas in the business world. Black shoes only.

I am talking in the business world. if you are being casual or just want to make a statement that you can look like a clown, wear the skinny ties.
