Like wristwatches and vinyl records, neckties are one of life’s many garnishes, serving a definite purpose but admittedly more form than function. Owning and wearing a tie is a statement about what you deem important; that a simple touch to your wardrobe can transcend any sort of question about necessity. A one-stop shop for all your neck-based style accessories, Tie Bar has plenty of options to choose from but we recommend its collection of limited-edition Italian silk ties, which provide you with plenty of options to choose from.
Available in 18 different styles, from solid to striped to floral patterns, Tie Bar’s modern-sized silk ties have been handmade in Italy by the iconic Tessitura Attilio Bottinelli. A mainstay in Lake Como, Italy for nearly 100 years, the family-owned and -operated company had put together each tie, thread by thread, with 100% silk jacquard. Italy has long been a haven for masterful artisans and mavens of fabric, and these items only sustain that reputation. The array of patterns will be deemed impressive by the most fervent necktie aficionado but will be accessible for newcomers trying to integrate the accessory into their wardrobes. More premium options are also offered in the collection, including cravattas with spun silk and hand-rolled edges for a more refined and sophisticated look.
While some form of neck fabric popped up as early as the 3rd century B.C. to protect the Adam’s apples of warriors, the modern necktie was a definite fashion statement that came about in France in the 1600s, finding a sort of heyday in the early 20th century as patterned options were introduced.
If you’re in the market for a new necktie or simply want to imbue your wardrobe with some serious style without breaking the bank, head over to Tie Bar where its limited-edition Tessitura Attilio Bottinelli collection of Italian silk ties are priced from $48 to $78.
