I wouldn't do it.
haha, depends what you do. If you are a trader I would say no because you would get laughed off the floor. I wouldn't do it. But if you can pull it off. Not as bad as wearing a 3 piece with Cuffs and a collar bar.... (Top hat and Monocle too!)
It's great, assuming you like to be mocked and can afford to waste several hours of your day while people point and laugh at you.
the sorta skinny ties are ok for slim builds. but the really skinny ones are fuktarded.
It is unprofessional
I don't think it's ok to wear them in any setting.
I concur.
If it's like this:

Then no.
If it's like this, you might be ok:

The second one seems fine if your shirt is slim fit.
it's fine to wear one at work... if you're a bartender
Skinny ties are done. No matter what you are doing you look ridiculous wearing one.
That being said, it´s ok to get a tie that is not the gigantic one your grandpa would wear, just don´t go all the way to skinny. Go this way: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/165515_495375879731_6276742_…

this style is definitely fine.

I bought one like this by accident, not sure where my head was but when I got home and compared it to my others it was obviously skinnier. It's not a skinny tie to the fullest, but somewhere in between. I actually REALLY like the tie lol, so I might just continue to wear it.
If you're Mike Ross, yes. otherwise, no.
All you people hating. I'm a slim guy and I rock the occasional 'skinny' tie. Nothing ridiculous, but something like this: http://uncrate.com/stuff/penguin-francis-necktie/
skinny ties are shit. wear a regular one

nooooo
if it's fine by barney stinson, it's fine by me.
with the exception of the ducky tie, that's not ok.
slim tie is okay...skinny tie is okay...ties like the undertaker in the attitude era are recommended
To get back to the Barney Stinson example.
I do have two ties like this one, ok or not ok?

This is what I think of when I see a skinny tie: Ever go to Burberry, Chanel, Armani, etc... and they always have the guard standing at the exit all dressed up? He wears a skinny tie. So does every waiter at any upscale restaurant, bell hop, and butler. You can be the guy guarding the store, serving the meal, or the one shopping or eating there. You pick.
Maybe - just maybe - it's a question of what you wear with the tie. If you've got a slim-fit thing going in general with the shirt and suit, a wide tie is gonna make you look ridiculous. On the other hand, if you're fat then by all means get the wider one. Actually, perhaps that explains why the more senior, the wider the tie - on average, the more senior, the more out-of-shape you'll be. And no, I'm not condoning any ultra-skinny hipster bullshit here.
You my friend must be out of your mind to pull that off I mean seriously? Are you really being serious about this? I would never ever ever wear that kind of tie to my job! Never!!!
Do hipsters belong at work (assuming it's a Wall Street job)?
In case you were wondering, the answer is Negative, Ghost Rider.
Does anyone know what the width of both of the ties in the GQ pic and the Barney Stimson ones? I'm pretty short and have a slimmer build so anything like the classical wide ties are out of the question for me.
Where do you work? Why would you even wear a tie??
Super skinny -
no
a kipper is needed
haha it looks so wrong!
Depends.
If you are a junior, perhaps it is ok... in our group we do not really care how you dress (most don't wear a tie), as long as it is professional, not utterly ridiculous (D duck tie) or look like the "shop guard, waiter at any upscale restaurant, bell hop, and butler" example afore.
Do keep a decent tie at your desk though, as you might be taken to a client meeting and you do not want to be asked to change, go home, buy one or otherwise be patronised about by md/vp.
For more senior monkeys, I think they already know what fits to their role.
This thread is ridiculous!!!
Leave it at H&M the clubs even then...no.
Funny how you guys are referencing Hollywood actors to justify your stupidity.
There's a reason they live in California and only pretend to have jobs.
Looking nice.
Never wear them.
Never post in thread over a year old
@WalMartShopper: Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
Definitely depends about your position and company.
shouldn't drop below ~3/2.75 inches wide imo.
Never go full retard...
I agree it depends on your industry as some are more lenient than others - If you work in the marketing/tech space I would say you're safe.
Not okay at all. Unless you are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo slight in your build.
I think they're fine as long as they're striped or solid colored.
Skinny ties work just as well as skinny jeans. They both look like you're shopping at GAP.
on a scale from 1 to homosexual, how bad is it to wear a skinny tie to an interview? (Originally Posted: 12/27/2012)
I've had a few interviews so far that I've decided to wear the skinny tie, try to show them my swedish side, and I've received some offers. I go up to NYC to meet with BB firms and was wondering how appropriate it was to wear another skinny tie.
At the same damn time
Hey it might not hurt you, but if you want to be known as the hipster douche in the office if you get the job, go for it.
(There s guy here who wears them all the time, we call him hipsto)
This isn't Mad Men; they're gonna think you are gay, hipster, or both (well I guess those are basically the same thing, but whatever). The real question is why the fuck do you even own one in the first place?
I bet you're the kinda guy that would fuck a person in the ass and not even have the goddamn common courtesy to give him a reach around.
Lol brilliant troll if it is one, otherwise, just wow
Are you actually Swedish, or is this just a sly rag on Europe?
100% swedish, just moved to the states for Ivy League schools.
this is the greatest thread of 2012. "try to show them my swedish side." this sentence alone is already gay to the max.
Bent over and ready to go.
this is as skinny as you should go
shit, time to bulk up
God, I hate skinny ties. Fucking hipsters.
A hetero tie for you
