No longer can the men kid the ladies about reading their style magazines. On a recent visit to a Barnes and Noble Café, conveniently located beside a vast array of current magazines GQ, Esquire, and Details - popular men's fashion magazines - were all within an arm's length for browsing.
So amongst the whirl of the blender concocting an iced drink and the aromatherapy of the roasted coffee bean, one can easily catch up on the latest men's fashion styles.
On the cover of Details April, 2009 issue the viewer sees a man sporting an open-collar white shirt and a skinny designer men's tie. A few pages inside the magazine another designer skinny tie appears this time on a man wearing a tux jacket and silk white shirt.
Where is all the color? Not here. Hugo Boss photos featured a monochromatic ensemble with a suit coat cropped at the waist and rolled up sleeves to the elbows. But then men's fashion designer Fred Perry appears. A bold vest, plaid shirt and knee length shorts were accessorized with a designer skinny tie. Diesel put his black skinny tie with a dress shirt and jean shorts. The April 2009 issue of Esquire included an array of slim cut jackets with skinny ties.
What's with all these designer skinny ties? Is this the third revival of the skinny tie?
Following World War II men celebrated their discharge from the traditional uniform ties and went wild demanding and getting wild, bold, large neckties. Not since the dandies of the Regency Era had the world seen such decked out men. But all good things come to an end. As suits slimmed in the 50s and 60, ties became narrower and narrower. Some were as narrow as one inch.
During a retro period in the 80s they returned. And now, in the spring of 2009 the men's designer skinny tie is going strong now for over a year.
The trick of dressing using the skinny tie to is remember that the tie can function as both the "highlight" or "dazzler" or a passive accompaniment of the man's ensemble. Traditionally, a man dressed in the classic blue or black or even pinstriped suit might be using the choice of his necktie to reflect the mood of his attire. A jokester might have a wide selection of novelty ties from which to choose. An academic historian might even have some of those peacock ties from the 1940s. The dapper gentleman might tie a bow around his neck.
This season Ralph Lauren is breaking all the rules by mixing tweeds, silk, stripes and plaids. A smart skinny tie in a harmonious color will keep the attention on the dazzling tweed or silk. The blending colors found in plaid might be the perfect choice for the skinny tie. The opposite also works. A wise dresser may select a skinny tie in the most outrageous color of the ensemble to magically pull the outfit together.
So as the suits become slimmer and the ensembles become wilder, consider thoughtfully selecting a skinny tie this season.
