Ties have become increasingly narrow and fashionable lately, but the truth is that a gentleman should have a wide selection of ties for every occasion or trend.
Not all body types are suited to a skinny tie from Cravate Gentleman . Skinny 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 complement your outfit. Also, remember to use smaller, asymmetrical, and simple knots when choosing a skinny tie.
We would suggest opting 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 tailored to create a cohesive look.
Above you'll find our latest collection of slim and narrow ties. You'll find ties ranging in width from 5cm to 7cm. Refine your search for slim ties by applying the color and pattern filters on the left.
Pairing slim ties requires a few additional considerations. The most important is the jacket lapel. 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.
Slim ties look best with smaller, narrower knots. The asymmetrical shape and reduced size of the simple four-in-hand knot are excellent. Finally, there's the person wearing the tie.
If you're stocky with a short neck, slim ties aren't necessarily a good choice for your build. Slim ties are better suited to tall, slender men, allowing the narrow tie to be perfectly proportioned to the suit's narrow lapels and tailored fit.
The modern, trendy look of the slim tie also pairs perfectly with tie bars, an accessory that has recently become very popular.
Tie bars are slipped between the tie and the shirt. When pairing a slim tie with a tie bar, ensure the length of the tie bar matches the narrow width of the slim tie.
Tie bars for slim ties should be 5 to 7 cm long. At Cravate Gentleman , we suggest you take a look at our selection of tie bars.
A narrow tie is tied just 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 longer than triangular. Excellent choices include the Four-in-Hand knot, the Windsor half-knot, and the Prince Albert.
