If you remember neckties from the 1970's into the 1980's, you probably remember skinny ties, and you either loved them or hated them, but regardless, they are back in style. It seems men's ties go from skinny to medium and finally to a supper wide tie, and then come back around to start the trend all over again. Currently, skinny ties have come back in fashion, and are now more popular than ever. How long will it last? That's anyone's guess, but if you still have some skinny ties from the 1980's, you might be in luck and not have to buy any new ones!

In addition to thin ties being fashionable, because they are thin it gives the illusion of making your look taller. This is great news if you happen to be a man of a shorter stature. Thin ties were also popular in the 1950's and then came back in style in the late 1970's into the 80's. Therefore, it makes sense that they again became stylish and made its way back to the rich and famous and everyone else.

Skinny ties tend to be have very chic, but can be worn in very casual settings to the most elegant. The black skinny tie is one of the all-time favourites and once again, it is back on the necks of many men all over the world. It tends to feel lighter to wear than the thicker ties, and it offers a unique style that can be worn with a shirt or a modern suit.

One thing to keep in mind if you are looking into wearing a skinny tie is you must wear it with a thin shirt collar also. Wearing the skinny tie with a full size neck collar simply does not work, therefore, make sure before you slip on the thin tie, you also have a thin collar on your shirt for the ultimate crisp and stylish look.

The skinny ties do not just come in the classic black; you can find them in many styles including colours and even stripes depending on what you are wearing. You can tie it completely for a dressier look, or leave it loose for the ultimate cool image.

This time around, you will find the skinny tie in many shades of silk, which is comfortable to wear and looks sharp with just about any attire. Many men are lucky enough to have some vintage ties from their fathers or grandfathers that they wore back when they were popular, but these are typically made of thicker materials. However, the skinny neckties in all different colours and materials have come back stronger than ever, so expect to see them in stores near you. If you have a special guy in your life, choosing a skinny tie makes a perfect "just because" gift for any occasion.

One of the nice aspects to the skinny ties is that more men wear them than traditional ties because they are stylish and look sharp regardless of what they wear. Therefore, even if you are not the suit and tie type of man, the thin ties are definitely necessary for every man's wardrobe.
