The illustrious necktie.  Some don’t see the use of it, some are bound to it day-to-day; yet, all look that much better while in one.

Let’s start off with a bit of history on the necktie as well as it’s definition.  A necktie, or simply tie, is a long piece of cloth worn for decorative purposes around the neck, resting under the shirt collar and knotted at the throat with the original necktie originating to 1618.

How does TopNotch Male Style Tips view neckties?  I actually view them as more than a mere fashion piece.  In my opinion, they are very important to your shirt in the winter time, because although you may button your top button, that fabric around you neck can help keep you a bit warmer!  In addition to that, when properly tied and worn with a fitted shirt, nothing frames your face better!

Bottom line:  Guys, ties are a dime a dozen these days and it pays to have a few in your arsenal.  Whether you wear them daily or not, they can only accentuate your look!

Until next time, tie up gentlemen!
