Ties...

So I'm going through a bit of a tie stage. Haven't found any ties in London that are of any interest to me other than being a plain old tie. Nothing wrong with a standard tie thought. I found http://cyberoptix.com/ the ties on there are really nice. Haven't found anything similar or even coming close in London so if you know of a place or design outfit let me know!

Cheers

First rule to wearing a tie - make sure it's darker than your shirt

HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE it when you see whoppers in black shirts and white/silver ties! WTF!? SOOOOOOOOoooooo boyband and footballer and a REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad look

oh man, those ties are hideous! go for something a little more understated. Reiss do some nice ones.

Urgh, gash.

i dislike people who try to demonstrate their uniqueness and individuality through their choice of ties. it's a slippery slope to wearing a homer simpson novelty tie.

with a tie, go for the classics.

selfridges have a lot of nice ties. my favorites are missoni.
i don't get to wear ties very often but am currently favoring a chocolate brown with a bit of beige 60's Dior silk tie. i need another wedding or court appearance to wear it though.

Duchamp http://www.duchamplondon.com/shop/ties/ are pretty good if you want a bit of flare. They are not too wacky.

Good point, and it is true in many circumstances. I personally like the design on some of those ties... although ones like 'the morning wood' leave a bad taste in my mouth. You could say that it's a bit like the "fixie" culture with quotes like "i dislike people who try to demonstrate their uniqueness and individuality through their choice of ties. it's a slippery slope to wearing a homer simpson novelty tie. "

This could relate to many items of clothing but they all look good on someone when worn right.

yes, Chocolate brown is the way forward!

Good point, and it is true in many circumstances. I personally like the design on some of those wheels... although ones like 'white aeropoke' leave a bad taste in my mouth.

yeah but a homer simpson novelty fixie would RAWK!!!

£50 to the first to do it.

Hugo Boss make some very nice ties. Most department stores like Harvey Nicks, Harrods and Selfridges will have good selections. Understated is the key.

Duchamp http://www.duchamplondon.com/shop/ties/ are pretty good if you want a bit of flare. They are not too wacky.

i'd say they are too wacky, I really dislike some of these. Maybe two i'd wear. I'm liking ted baker ties at the moment.

skinny ties are the latest rage

when shopping last week noticed some lovely ones from RL & Hugo Boss - alot of chocolate browns mixed with pinks...nice!

Sounds good.

it's straight out of late 60's early 70's before ties went super-wide.
i quite like it though.

yeh, that's nice. What and where?

http://www.etsy.com/shop_sold.php?user_id=58778 it's the victorian gears tie that sparked this off really. Maybe it comes down to the association of cogs hmmm.

Dior, i guess 60's/70's from my late grandfathers tie collection. something similar from a retro clothes shop £5-£15?

You'd be lucky.

tie = noose

Absurd fashion accessory. Hopefully ties will go the way of 17th century man-wigs, foot binding and those dresses that made women look like they had massive arses.

Fucking hate wearing one to work - its flying the class flag. Cunts in ties with pink newspapers caused the global economic crisis. Fucking pink newspapers.

Ditto.

a tie for fucktards ^
