Apparel Spotlight: Ties

Some may think "Ties, whatever."  Whatever is the wrong attitude.  You don't have to be a fashionista, but if you can pick a good tie, you can look just as sharp.  Things to consider when purchasing a tie:

1)  How many outfits can this go with?  You don't need to think too long.  Look at the colors in the tie and figure out how many things these colors can work with.  Take the Yellow tie with Blue Stripes.  If you have a blue shirt, this will look amazing, try to think about how this will work with what you already own and what you may want to purchase.  If the tie can only work with the one shirt the one way, I'd advise against it.
2)  What is the real color?  It's hard to tell online sometimes and many will photoshop their products.  We try to give you the real colors.  There could be a slight variation between natural lighting and flash, so we try to make sure you can see that so you can know what it will look like on you and for all the different times you may wear that particular tie.
3)  How many times or places will I wear this?  Think about the occassions and usefulness of the tie.  Simple stripes or a nice solid pattern are great for several occassions.  Bugs Bunny may not be the best choice for an interview.  Similarly, the bold striking pattern is not the one you want to wear to a funeral.  Go with classic and verstile looks that you can wear to the funeral, the wedding, and the interview.
4)  Who cares about a tie?  You may be saying to yourself, "Wow, I'm putting a lot of thought into a tie," but any purchase should have some thought in it and I a tie is often overlooked.  Tie's are certainly the cherry on top and who would want a rotten cherry?
