The Best Ties for Men
You know what they say: whatever his age or walk of life, every man out there needs a good tie. Whether for work or business meetings, weddings or banquet events, or even just the occasional job interview, wearing a tie adds an element of maturity and sophistication to an outfit, making it an essential part of any serious wardrobe. But ties can come in a range of styles and designs, which makes choosing the right one almost as difficult as learning how to tie it. Darker ties may add an air of professionalism to your look, while more colorful ones will add pizazz. Lucky for you, we've rounded up some of our favorite options on the market, from skinny ties to bow ties.
KissTies Solid Satin Necktie
A tie for every occasion
If you’re looking for a classic tie for any formal occasion in your life, we recommend this satin offering from KissTies.

As an added bonus, the tie comes packaged in a tasteful box, allowing you to easily gift it to any man in your life.

Jacob Alexander Solid Color Men’s Regular Tie
Rainbow riches
There’s nothing more stylish than a dark suit with a pop of color, which is why we recommend these solid ties from Jacob Alexander to anyone looking to accentuate their outfit. They’re ideal for parties and gatherings that call for a little pizazz, but their premium medium satin finish also makes them sophisticated enough for more formal events. The shape of the tie also achieves a happy medium, cutting a contemporary style that’s not too wide, but also not too skinny. You can choose from turquoise, lime green, or coral orange for more casual occasions, or ivory, bridal pink, or plain black for more serious ones.
Pros:
- Elegant embroidered tip
- Reinforced construction allows for a sturdy knot
- Strong back loop
Cons:
- Not enough formal colors

Made of 100% microfiber, they come with a glossy finish and are offered in twelve different color options, from red to white. Thankfully, they also come pre-tied, taking the pain out of figuring out how to arrange this notoriously tricky neckpiece yourself. This is the perfect option for a man that needs a bowtie for a tuxedo, or who simply dares to be different.
Pros:
- High-quality silk construction
- Good value for price
- Fit necks from 13 to 20 inches
