DETAILS is calling for the end of skinny ties. Frankly, they’re tired of the Skinny, narrow, slender, however you want to call them. Why? Well, because everybody is wearing it. I guess I could understand the reason behind it. Kinda like when that chick whom we shall call Sienna Miller started the damn leggings underneath “everything” trend. Now everyone is doing it. Lindsay Lohan can’t stop. But then again, comparing Skinny Ties with the Hollywood Starlets’ sickeningly obsession with leggings(the footless kind) is a little over the top. Not everyone looks good in leggings but some Men look good sporting their skinny ties on. Like Chase Crawford.

More on the skinny ties issue after the fold…
DETAILS wrote an interesting piece about the end of skinny ties. Interestingly enough, the magazine’s Jan/Feb issue’s cover was High School Musical Heartrob Zac Efron and he was wearing a skinny tie with his black on black ensemble. Hmmmm….
What’s my take on the down with the skinny ties campaign? I’m in between. Whatever makes you feel good. Skinny Ties are harmless compare to all the obnoxiously avant-garde clothes those huge designers showcase at the Fashion Week Runways that they expect you to wear in your everyday life. Know what I mean?
Your turn, Yay or Nay on skinny ties?
Personally, I love a guy that can pull off the skinny tie.
Same here Adiel, same here
Ladies love the guys that can pull off the skinny tie, because usually those guys have a slim build and a pretty face. Check out the next fat guy with a beard and a skinny tie. You’ll call for revolution soon enough.
that’s why I said I’m in between
Skinny tie + fitted shirt/suit + beach build body = YAY baby!
Skinny tie + regular shirt/suit + pork belly = Hell NAY!
Kind of apples and oranges to me. When I teach in a skinny tie, I must be wearing a fitted European-style dress shirt with a smaller collar. The larger collars on my blousier-cut American dress shirts don’t work with skinny ties. But then again, I only have ONE skinny tie!
