What is the current fashion in men's tie knots?

[ChipWrecked]

I'm attending a party late this month and will be wearing a tie for the first time in about five years.

I've always gone with the easy half-Windsor but I want to get with the times for this event.

What knot are ballas using these days?

[LetItBe]

What kind of collar does your shirt have?

[ChipWrecked]

Standard dress collar, no buttons.

straight up the full windsor is what the ballas are doing, yo. pimp that ish big.

only with a spread collar
- or thin tie (which u shouldn't own)

How long should the tie be? I always thought the tip was supposed to be at the belt.

Everyone at work tells me they should be short , so I dont know.

Some of them wear thin ties? who wear these?

I think thin ties look decent on really skinny guys but not on anyone else.

Thin tie looks good if you are Justin Timberlake





Otherwise just go full windsor.

All I know is that what's right/cool regarding length and width has changed about six times in my lifetime and I'm only 53.

I thought I knew what was right about four years ago, now I have no idea.

I'm young and idealistic, so you can call me out on that.

But does it matter? Shouldn't someone just wear it how they feel comfortable (in most cases)? Unless it's a particular formal event....what's the big deal?

I mean, I'll be a teacher in a couple years and plan to wear ties, but I don't think I'll feel obligated to wear the "in" style, especially if it changes like Rick said.

just match the size of the knot to the style of your shirt collar and you're golden, imo.
