Honestly just go for what you like but use common sense and avoid super loud designs. Check places like Brook Brothers, J Crew, Banana Republic etc

Tie recommendations (Originally Posted: 11/06/2016)
Looking for some tie recommendations that are affordable (eyeing Tie Bar) that go with a typical white dress shirt/blue dress shirt
Good: Regimental stripes, polka dots, solid, paisley
Bad: repeated discernible objects, e.g., dollar signs for bankers, balances for lawyers, etc..., discernible images, e.g., I worked with a guy who wore Star Wars, Elvis, and Mickey Mouse ties; no one took him seriously
Color: the color(s) of the tie should be appropriate for your skin tone, e.g., African Americans can wear bright, neon ties, whereas whites cannot; similarly, dark color ties look better on lighter-skinned people.
Orange ties, is it a GO or a NO? (Originally Posted: 06/20/2017)
So this is by far the dumbest question I asked on here, but would you consider wearing an orange tie during a networking event, members only club, or even for first impressions? Does it make you stand out a little too much?
Thanks guys!
There is almost no scenario where an orange tie is the best choice. Sorry if you just bought a new orange tie man.
Piper's HC team thought it was a good look for the Heartland Summit lol.
unless you're at a Clemson, Illinois, or Tennessee Alumni event probably not.
I mean like maybe this guy could work with a light blue shirt and navy suit, but generally just go with an understated red tie. Note to all prospects: Trying to use clothing to stand out is a BAD IDEA. It can really only do bad things for you.

Oh boy, well thanks to everyone! Im gonna have to give this brioni orange tie to my little brother or something. He could probably use it for his high school graduation LOL
Save for weddings or something less conservative, paired with grey suit and light blue shirt I like mine
The only acceptable time to wear an orange tie is if your interviewer is a huge Denver Broncos fan.
Tie Colour? (Originally Posted: 06/09/2015)
Looking to buy 2-3 ties from here:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2015-men-tie-40-color-silk-tie-hanky-cufflinks-s…
Wondering which colour I should go for to go with a navy suit.
SN313
SN326
SN557
These are my very first ties so I m looking for a more classic style to build my wardrobe
236, 311, and 326 or 429
I would consider spending more than $4 on your ties.
No need to spend $200 but I promise you won't want to look like you are dressing for a prom or cheap wedding. Which is exactly what a $4 silk tie will end up looking like.
$4 with free shipping sounds like you're going to get really low quality ties. Purchase them in real life to see what the material is like, and get a couple ties with colors that match multiple dress shirts.
E.g. I have a shirt with purple and blue window panes on white and another one that's blue checkerboard on white, and for both, I use a purple tie with subtle white and blue, which works solidly for each. You could probably get like two decent quality ties and then get advice from someone at the store on how to match its secondary and tertiary colors with the shirts you own.
The solid colour ones don't look too bad and they are made of silk. Ties are just ties at the end of the day.
A burgundy colored tie looks outstanding with a navy suit.
Also, if you head over to Styleforum and check out the "What are you wearing today?" posts in the classic section, you'll get a ton of ideas.
Hey, after a whole month I actually received the ties. They aren't bad actually. I been to a few stores like BB and its not too far off. These will probably be the only "low quality" ties I will buy but its good to have a few to play with for now.
which ones did you go with?
Went with burgundy, navy blue (dark), and the grey one.
I once bought 30 5$ ties(on the same day, from different Ebay stores) on Ebay from China, and they're the worst piece of shit ties I've owned. The biggest problem was that the stitches unraveled after two wears. They were marked as silk, but I'm not sure. The silk was thin as paper, but they had thick lining inside. I actually saved one tie, to burn. If it melts, it's plastic.
I strongly, strongly recommend spending 10 bucks more one either used or unused Brooks Brothers ties on Ebay. Hell, sometimes I picked up brand news Canali ties for 10 bucks a pop...
Well, they aren't bad. I guess they're okay for now. I wanted to have a fast strong base to use but I will probably only get decent stuff from this point.
Is it okay to buy the same tie in a different color or just get a different tie? (Originally Posted: 06/16/2017)

Brooks Brothers ties (Originally Posted: 09/11/2012)
Is it just me or are Brooks Brothers ties TOO long?
Anyone feel the same way? What's a good alternative?
Just do a full windsor.
second the full windsor
ok.
i feel that they are too sucky.
Any decent alternatives?
Tie it with a long tail, and then tuck it into your shirt.
Or, try this: http://dealbreaker.com/2012/09/john-paulson-is-the-most-resourceful-hed…
Look, I'm a big fan of Brooks Brothers over the years, but lately they've become full-on toolwear. The Fall Collection is chock full of shit I wouldn't be caught dead in.
That's why you don't buy the collection. B2 is for the staples.
who the fuck buys shit at brooks brothers
Ermenegildo Zegna or bust...
But really, Boss seems to have ties that aren't as long.
get taller?
What's wrong with buying clothes from Fubu?
Personally, I also am starting to move against "soft" ties (i.e. silk/satin).
I prefer hard ties lately. Any decent hard ties out there that "stay stiff" where the windsor doesn't look like crap throughout the day where you have to fix it?
What does anyone think about the TieBar. http://www.thetiebar.com? I'm skeptical of 15 dollar ties but...
I feel the same way. I'm 6' tall and have trouble getting it to be the right length at times. Currently looking for some good alternatives as well.
I'm thinking of going with:
Ties: Jos A Bank (Don't trust Jos A Bank for shirts/suits though.) Indochino: Suits Brooks Bros.: Shirts
What tie to wear? (Originally Posted: 11/23/2012)
Quick question
What tie goes with a light grey striped suit? this suit looks like a strictly white shirt type of thing
Black tie or baby blue
hermes
red would work, as well as light blue or yellow, light blue shirt would look better than white imo (then obviously light blue tie would not work anymore)
Wouldn't do black. With a light grey suit and white shirt, most ties will be fine. I like blue, yellow, and dark reds. Since your suit is patterned, I would go for a fairly subdued tie print (although not solid).
Light blue shirts are harder. I have a dark red tie I like, and a yellow/light orange checkered. I think a dark green would also work, but I have never bought one.
definitely not black. A black tie is for funerals,weddings, and few other rare occasions
or servers at the restaurant.
Would definitely second the yellow or light/baby blue, not the black though.
Light blue with pindots.
I third the light blue, light yellow, light green. No black tie.
Navy and darker reds when wearing a white shirt and charcoal/gray suit are classics. I have also seen a burnt orange look very sharp.
Black..
burberry
I think blue one is best.

Are these ties appropriate for equity research interviews? (Originally Posted: 10/08/2014)
Looking at getting the following ties for equity research internship interviews at bulge bracket banks.
Any suggestions would be a big help. I plan on wearing a plain navy blue suit with a white shirt.
Attached are the images of each Kent Wang tie.
should be fine.
dont overthink it, i know it has been discussed here to bone, but as long as it is not something too unorthodox, it should be fine.
depends. if you're at GS, you should find a picture of the interviewing associate and get his picture printed on a tie. if the associate went to Yale, get a boy george tie (you know, that whole Yale thing). i would personally rock a bolo tie and snakeskin boots, you need a way to stand out. if not that, then definitely some lily pulitzer, it takes some balls to wear that and they don't call it "bulge" bracket for nothing.
in all seriousness, those ties are tine, just make sure you're not wrinkly and your shoes aren't scuffed. best of luck.

Of those, I'd only wear the last one.
1 is too casual
2 is too ugly (sorry, the color, and no patterns)
3 would look better in a darker color
4 looks just fine.
I would say all of them are good, except the first option... too casual
Acceptable Necktie Selection at Banks (Originally Posted: 05/21/2008)
Is the Vineyard Vines aesthetic acceptable, especially during the summer? And what about a tie such as the following: http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk281/nerdykarim/press0.jpg
Merci.
i would go with something a bit more conservative, although in saying that I do have a tie with pink elephants on it :)
If Ferragamo gets away in the office, the Vineyard Vines patterns can too. Nobody really cares what your tie looks like, so long as you are presentable. I would not that I would probably dress more conservative your first week and when going to "off-site" events or meetings.
Note, I only have experience in business casual environments though.
looks ok to me
I have this feeling that when undergrads think about the office environment of investment banks, they have this idea that it's like the office in American Psycho where everyone is dressed to the nines and having a bad tie day will seriously put your career in jeapordy.
Choosing between these 2 ties (Originally Posted: 06/23/2011)
PE interviews comming up (1st year analyst) and trying to chose out 2 of my blue ties. I would normally go with the lighter one (Zenetti), but its much shinier than the darker one (Hugo Boss). Im guessing a more conservative / less shiny tie would be better for PE?
(sorry about the bad photo, took with my phone)
http://s786.photobucket.com/albums/yy149/syd430/?action=view¤t=ph…
You should probably wear both. That way you would look both shiny AND conservative.
thanks.. but i tried that at my last interview and felt as though they couldn’t see both of them due to the inevitable overlap that occurs, so it was probably a waste of time. Maybe i should go for 2 conservative ties plus a third shiny one coming out of my zipper this time?
The light blue one.
I think you should wear red.
I would go for the darker one, more conservative
Bottom, for our boy Timmy G.
