The prevalence of discount necktie websites shows that price is a definite consideration for many tie shoppers. Understandably, many men would rather not spend three digits for a piece of cloth to hang around their neck. This doesn’t mean that they can’t find an array of colorful, cheap neck ties online or in stores.
The Cheapest of the Cheap Online
Some online websites are hard to beat by retail stores when it comes to price per unit. Even though sometimes a minimum purchase is required, the savings on these wholesale ties are remarkable. Most solid colored ties, bowties, and skinny ties start at just $2 each when shopping online, with a variety of on-trend prints and styles starting at only $2.50. If you need a quick, inexpensive tie collection, consider joining forces with a like-minded friend or two. If four of you chipped in $25 each, each of you could come away with an instant collection of 10-12 cheap ties.
Cheap neckties live up to their name and are cheap. However, this doesn’t mean they lack in quality. Discount ties offered by most sellers can often be sorted by price, with the choices of $5, $10, $15, and $20 ties. $5 collections usually offer mostly striped and solid microfiber ties. Microfiber is a less expensive alternative to silk that offers a number of silk’s positive properties.
Brand Names for Less
If you are a price-conscious shopper who appreciates a brand name, sale or clearance neckwear may be right for you. Websites of quality retailers often have “sale” or “clearance” tabs in visible locations, and discounts can reach 50% or higher. A search for sale ties will return many results, and further narrowing to clearance ties brings up many options under $20. Sale shopping may not be as effective if you are looking for a specific colored tie within a certain time frame, as you can’t control what goes on clearance when, but if you have lead time to watch for a certain tie to go on sale, you may be in luck. Or, if you are willing to be flexible with your color, pattern, or style, you can make price a priority. If you are willing to buy a paisley purple tie if the price is right, you will end up with some interesting and cheap neck wear.
Most tie retailers pride themselves on offering brand name products at discount prices. While website shopping may be less accessible at some of these stores, a stop into your local establishment will give you a chance to see their discount neck ties firsthand. Inventory varies from store to store, so stopping by more than one nearby location could provide more options.
Why buy often overpriced ties at retail stores when you can shop for wholesale ties online for a fraction of the cost when you receive the same quality? Whether you are looking for a brand name bargain or just the cheapest tie available, options abound. You can sport attractive neckwear without breaking the bank.
The Slim Tie Story
If you've picked up a magazine or even been out and about lately, you've likely noticed that skinny ties are back. For many men over sixty, this brings back vivid memories of the 1960s, when skinny neck ties were all the rage, and slightly younger men might flash back to the 1980s. But this accessory's history goes back even further. It has been reinvented many times, and likely will be many more.
When Do You Need Long Ties, XL Ties, or Large Ties?
Most men may assume that an extra long tie is only necessary for men who are extremely tall or unusually rotund. However, 6’7” men aren’t the only ones whose style would get a boost from an XL tie. The men’s fashion community seems fairly united on the acceptable length for a neck tie, and a number of things could prevent your tie from reaching quite to that perfect zone.
Building a Quality Neck Wear Collection
Most men have a few ties in their closet, but many will come to a point where those three wrinkled, cheap neckties just won’t cut it anymore and a real neckwear collection is needed. Most likely, he has landed a new job where ties are part of the daily wardrobe. Whatever the reason, it’s time to begin building a collection of excellent neckties.
