Everyone seems to have their opinion. My co worker tells me thick is out, and skinny is the new hotness, Is one better than the other?

[Reverend Funk]

Skinny ties make people look like they have tiny bodies.

 

[RS4-]

Depends on your collar

 

[TMC]

Skinny ties for sure.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Depends on your body size and shape. Skinny ties tend to look better on slimmer guys.

 

[umop_3pisdn]

Skinny ties are like some 2010 shit IMO, so not the new hotness at all. But I don't think thick ties look right either.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

The tie in the first image is too big. There are more in-between ties.

 

[True Savior]

Are you beautiful ?

Yes or No ?

That's really the factor 99% of the times.

 

[MikeyB]

Bolo tie.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Depends on your frame, face, shirt collar and lapel size.

It's pretty easy to spot a trend jumper wrt this as they often pair a wispy 1" wide tie with the standard 3" lapel and what not. The second image looks off for this reason.

 

[Loofy]

^^I dont think anyone wears these anymore. They look pretty silly.

People still get 'skinny' ties but theyre more medium sized.

 

[Dany]

Skinny ties are where its at.

 

[Sephzilla]

how about normal medium sized ties?

 

[rezuth]

False, bowties!

 

[PhantomHound]

You need to be really skinny to pull off a skinny tie. If you have muscle mass or a bit of fat, you look ridiculous. Also if you're older, they just don't work.\

Also the guy in the first pic looks more slick but also professional, the guy in the bottom picture just looks like he came out of a private high school :/

 

[freenudemacusers]

how about normal medium sized ties?

Let's not get crazy now

 

[DopeToast]

Depends on your body shape, collar and lapel size. Certain builds/outfits will look good with one or the other.

Seriously, this with a tight knot and you're set.

 

[God Dayumm]

A nice scarf and call it a day

 

[entremet]

If you're muscular or a bigger guy, skinny ties looks ridiculous.

I prefer regular width.

 

[King Cobra]

The first looks like babby's first tie the knot is hideously large and the other will get you laughed out of a serious board meeting.

this is a proper look for a tie and suit.

 

[EloKa]

Edit: I cound that tie above as skinny.

skinny all the way if you are either tall or slim / athletic

That tie above is not skinny >.> that's just a normal tie.

+ Head size.

If you have a big head you're probably going to look silly in a skinny tie. Overall both can look good depending on the person.

 

[DrZeus]

Depends on your collar

This.

 

[PhantomHound]

Looks horrible on Michael Fassbender imo.

That entire outfit is terrible.

 

[PhantomHound]

That entire outfit is terrible.

Agreed lol

 

[Orbis Tabula]

First is way too huge.
Second is way too small.
The one King Cobra posted is juuuuuust right.

 

[entremet]

Looks horrible on Michael Fassbender imo.

That look like a classic GQ fit, using safety pins and such. Way too tight and hardly realistic

 

[- J - D -]

Skinny tie only for social occasions. Wore one to a wedding last fall. Was a hit. I'm fairly slim though.

Celebrities need to learn how to make a better tie knot.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Thick ties for thick guys, skinny ties for skinny guys.

 

[PhantomHound]

Thick ties for thick guys, skinny ties for skinny guys.

How about... normal ties for everyone!

 

[adamsappel]

Skinny ties make for a tiny knot, which often looks silly with a standard-collar shirt. Your ties should also fall to your belt buckle.

He's talking about the shirt being obviously pinned tight. No dress shirt will or should ever fit like that lol.

Also this dude needs to put on a bow tie asap

 

[studyguy]

I was going to say it looks like when I flubbed my first tie in middle school and was real proud of the big ass knot I had left.

 

[PhantomHound]

Can people pull off a skinny tie? Absolutely.

Should most people wear them? Nope.

Gross. Tie doesn't even reach the buckle.

 

[LyleLanley]

That first tie looks gigantic.

 

[Guevara]

Thick. It's supposed to remind you of a penis, afterall.

 

[freenudemacusers]

Thick. It's supposed to remind you of a penis, afterall.

Then why are none of them curved to the right???

 

[Zabuza]

happy medium you fucks

 

[Lakershead22]

Give me skinny ties any day

 

[LaNaranja]

I have never liked skinny ties, they look goofy. That said the thick one in the OP is way too much. There is a middle ground that is perfect.

 

[Shuggananas]

Both look bad. But too thick looks way more atrocious than too thin.
Why not get an average tie ?

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

2.75"/3" is reasonable.

 

[purg3]

Just depends on the lapel of the jacket you are wearing. If no jacket, I prefer a slim/skinny tie. I have a couple of skinny knit ties that I always get compliments on.

One of the few times I've seen someone pull of the "thick tie" and it not look ridiculous.

Fucking boss.

 

[TheDangerMan]

Medium to thick all the way. Not a fan of skinny ties personally
