Ties have become narrower and more fashionable in recent times, but the truth is that a gentleman should have a wide selection of ties for any occasion or trend.
Not all body types are suitable for a thin tie from Cravate Gentleman . Thin ties can draw attention to the body. If you are on the heavier side, a skinny tie is probably not the best choice for you.
Opt for wider ties to better flatter your figure and better match your outfit. Also remember to use smaller, asymmetrical and simple knots when choosing a skinny tie.
Our opinion would be to opt for a simple four-handed knot. Skinny ties can be worn for both formal and casual occasions, but avoid pairing your tie with a double-breasted shirt.
Skinny ties are thin, so the rest of your outfit should also be slim to create a cohesive look.
Above you will find our latest collection of slim and narrow cut ties. You will find ties whose width varies from 5 cm to 7cm. Refine your search for skinny ties by applying the color and pattern filters on the left.
Pairing skinny ties requires a few additional considerations. The most important thing is the lapel of the jacket. As a general rule: The narrower the lapels, the thinner the tie should be. The type of tie knot is almost as important as the lapels.
Thin ties look better with smaller, narrower tie knots. The asymmetrical shape and reduced size of the simple Four-in-Hand knot are excellent. Finally, there is the person wearing the tie.
If you are stocky and have a short neck, skinny ties may not be a good choice for your body type. Skinny ties are best suited to slim, tall men, allowing the narrow tie to be perfectly proportioned to the narrow lapels of the suit and the slim fit of the suit.
The modern and trendy look of the narrow tie is also perfectly matched with the use of tie bars, an accessory that has recently become very popular.
Tie bars fit between tie and shirt. When pairing a skinny tie with a tie bar, make sure the length of the tie bar matches the narrow width of the skinny tie.
Tie bars for thin ties should be 5-7cm in length. At Cravate Gentleman , we suggest you take a look at our selection of tie bars.
The narrow tie is tied like any other tie. For the most popular ways to tie a tie, please see our tutorial on How to Tie a Tie.
The best tie knots for narrow ties are small and have a longer shape than a triangular one. Excellent choices are the Four in Hand knot, the half Windsor tie knot, as well as the Prince Albert.
