00:00 5 Essential Ties Introduction
In the 21st century, neckties are being worn less than they used to, and this is due to several reasons, but we think that they belong to a classic style wardrobe.
Society has been undergoing a casualization that has been going on for the last few decades. This means that neckties are simply less common. Therefore, they may feel more alien to those more accustomed to casual clothing. Not only that, but as the world has changed throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, attitudes toward office attire have shifted as well.
02:23 Why Wear A Tie?
In a nutshell, wearing a necktie makes you look like you mean business and that you take yourself and others seriously. Just think of all the occasions that traditionally require a tie. There are job interviews, weddings, funerals, board meetings, family celebrations, and religious ceremonies.
The second reason to wear a tie is choice. If you also enjoy the world of classic style, a necktie represents the ability to show others who you are; whether that’s through the nuance of your tie knot, how you’ve paired with the other elements of your outfit, or because it ties into a signature part of your style.
03:43 1. Knit/Casual Tie
05:34 2. Navy Grenadine Tie
07:30 3. A Tastefully Patterned Tie
09:53 4. Repp Stripe Tie
11:56 5. A Wedding Tie
Now that you have the definitive list of the 5 essential ties you should own, you’ll be ready for any sartorial situation that comes your way. Do you already have any of the ties we’ve listed today or has this video inspired you to get collecting? We love to hear your thoughts on our list as well as what you consider your essential neckties in the comments below.
14:08 Outfit Rundown - Jak na to + styl
At my 23 years I have a 60 tie collection. I love working at a place that encourages me to dress up.
I can't wait to work somewhere where business casual is the norm. Really hoping there's something like that in the environmental science realm but I am doubting it unless it's in an office or consulting. Crossing my fingers.
These wardrobe building videos are just so useful! Especially for people who just start to dress up or who usually dress casual but still want to be well-dressed when the situation requires!
One just needs a large enough wardrobe in a large enough home
As a professional chauffeur, an appropriate conservative tie is essential to my look and matched with a distinctive Black Fedora my clients can always find me. The compliments from clients and others always make me feel good.
I love ties, I wish I had more opportunities to wear them, but at 20 years old and still in school, it's definitely not a common occurrence
Just go for it dude. Some will like it and some won't, but you will enjoy it. Wear it with your casual outfits, to school as well as parties.
You’ll find excellent, high value ties at resale shops for pennies. It won’t be long before you’ll be invited to many weddings and evening events. Suits and jackets in your size will be easy to find to and you can have them altered if necessary at the dry cleaners for much less than many tailors. Happy treasure hunting!
Go for it! I’m 19 & in college, but I still wear a tie every day. I’ve got an embroidered rayon one (prob 60s or so) right now!
I’m in my 20s and also in school and I wear them 2 or 3 times a week.
I'm 25 and attend college and I wear a tie pretty often to my campus and classes. I'd just go for it dude. If it's part of your style and it's not something obscene or disgusting, then I'd do it. 😄
One of the things I've always been good at, is finding a reason to wear a tie. For example, family gatherings, work milestones, dressing up for a nice day out, or just wearing one around the house for the heck of it. Whenever I'm feeling confident, I'll show up in a tie, because that's just who I am. I don't think ties or suits will ever go out of style, as long as you know how to put it all together.
A well-dressed gentleman will never go out of style. A tie perfectly elevates your outfit and shows you care about yourself, others, and what you do.
Female here & I love watching your channel- all of you gentlemen look wonderful. Thank you
I always wore a shirt and tie at least twice a week since my senior year of high school. I had about six ties then. The collection has grown from my own purchases to gifts from my family and can now wear a different tie every day for two months straight.
I've seen the decline of tie use in business settings, however I still look for opportunities to wear one whenever possible. This video has inspired me to look even further. I recently purchased 3 high end silk ties from a Goodwill Store in the "high rent" district of Atlanta for $3 apiece. Ties are one of the easiest ways to elevate your look.
I have purchased soooo many of your ties! I love them all but I especially enjoy the the knit ties! They bring a level of sophistication and casualness to any suit or sport coat. While I do not dress up as much as Sven, it’s nice being the best dressed man in the room with a sports coat and knit tie. Cheers!!
Thanks for your business, your viewership, and your kind words, John! All are very much appreciated.

I personally love dark, embroidered floral ties. You keep that formal character through the dark color but also show that you as a person may be more sensitive or conscientious with the floral motifs.
Love me some big 70s paisley pattern ties. Don't care if they are "classic", "in style" or anything else. Not all I wear, but I will rock them every opportunity I can.
Kyle excellent video on the 5 essential ties and I must acknowledge your ensemble is solid hitting on all six cylinders
Good list. Always great to see Kyle present. He’s been on a roll lately.
As always, a first rate, informative and entertaining presentation Kyle !
I’m 60. For 42 yrs, the tie I’ve worn that got the most compliments by a mile, is the Pierre Cardin polka dot tie, especially my red tie with 1/2 inch blue dots.
That was a very very nice ensemble. Looked really dapper. Nice earthy colour contrasting beautifully with the blue. 👍🏾👍🏾
It would be a cool feature on your site to have a feature where you pick one of each of the five in your desired color as a package deal. Each tie range would have to be the same cost per type. Customers could then start their wardrobe with 5 proven ties.
All we can say is...watch this space! 😉
Great idea. A boxed set of five ties that satisfy this criteria to go with a boxed set of pocket squares. Mix and match.
All three ties I own fit perfectly into this list. I own a shantung silk striped tie, a dark green polka dot jacquard silk tie and a PoW check silver silk tie. Just need to find a navy grenadine and a knit tie. Thanks a lot to the GG team for the advice.
I have a bit of a collection (more than 40, less than 60) and as such I feel that I have most of the bases covered, but your points on the "wedding tie" brought me inspiration. I'll have to look into one of those!
I would love for you guys to do a review on Spier and Mackey suits one day. But great video.
Its amazing to have an updated version of the ties, big helper for a starter such as myself
Lately, I have drifted to a relaxed fit silhoutte and casual tailoring. Knit ties are my absolute go-to. I also have accumulated several ties with ducks on them (mostly gifts), which have become a sartorial statement piece for me.
I never knew this stuff about ties. You got me educated. Now I will start buying ties. Great job
Just an aside: LOVE that light blue vest in the morning coat ensemble! And yes, the ties are magnificent, as well. :)
This has inspired me to start collecting the tie essentials. Very informative video.
Ties are having a big comeback in the near future. Sells are going up, and so are prices in my local vintage shops. Could be a local thing, but heard similar of similar phenomena elsewere. Thanks & Cheers!
Great video. I love wearing ties to work. I have 2 navy and maroon plain ties by Marks & Spencer, 1 Hugo Boss black tie, 1 red and gold medallion tie as well as a red and blue striped rep tie. Trying to get some Brooks Brothers ties but they're always sold out at the store. 🤷🏻♂️
Amazing video!
Awesome episode ❗💯
Good afternoon Gentlemen, Your neck ties are delicious. The rich colors, paisley, mini patterns, and the special formal”wedding”;ties with the offset brick pattern are fantastic! I wish I knew more men who choose to dress more like all of you gentlemen. Thank you for your dedication to classic men’s wear! Us ladies do appreciate a well dressed man.
Great video. I mourn the slow death of the necktie. I’ve been thrifting for several years and have a collection which likely rivals Raphael’s. At 45, I have no opportunities to wear them. Knits and repps are my favorite.
I’m surprised you didn’t discuss width. I have a few 4” and 3.5”. For me my favorite is 3” even.
This video inspired me to put on a tie for this afternoon's Zoom meeting!
I love Paisley ties 💧
I love ties and own many! However, i never could get into knit ties. I have a few but never felt compelled to wear them!
I will always love ties
I knew a student with procrastination issues. His counsellor told him to get up in the morning, wash and dress with a shirt and tie, then sit down to work. It helped that student to get to work.
I appreciate the rundown very much. Perhaps more than any other item of apparel or accessory the necktie, bowtie or cravat is available in a multitude of styles, colors and textures. Who can keep up? Well, you guys, I guess.
I wear necktie even with sweater.i think ties really bring all the outfit together.
I would love to see a video like how to incorporate a tie into the more casual modern mens wardrobe without looking like a nerd.
I love ties but struggle to find opportunities to wear them without feeling foolish or out of place.
We hear you! Start with the knit tie, as suggested in the video. It's more casual than other types of tie, and pairs nicely with something like a corduroy suit and denim dress shirt, which is overall a more relaxed way to wear classic clothes in the 21st Century
Really enjoyed this presenter.
I am from Paisley. Home to the most impoverished postcode in the whole U.K. 13 years running only surmounted for a measly 2 years by...the bordering village 😂 pattern is lit af tho 🎉
Well done.
I need to know what is that 3 piece suit the guy who compliments Preston’s tie at 2:59 wearing!? I would love to know the specifics but more would love to know what is that color/pattern/style? What should I search for to find something similar? Thanks!!
I definitely get the most use out of my knit tie. I think you’ve finally convinced me to get a grenadine one.
It took me a couple of years into my sartorial journey to understand the small macclesfield pattern.
Need help with wedding day. Any suggest for something that matches my navy blue dress? I need help with colors .. necktie , belt , shoes and overcoat. Pls!
Nice video. As always.
The ford Belvedere ties are really great. But it is a pity for Europeans to pay the tax. I own some of this this. There are really great. If there were not the tax issue I would bought more of this.
May you produce a video about pocket squares? Or about different kinds of buttons? What are the main difference between horn, MOP or Plastik buttons. Difference between the number of the holes in it, etc. Would be a pleasure to watch this.
Thank you for your business, glad to hear you enjoy your Fort belvedere ties! This should help you out with your button queries: www.gentlemansgazette.com/buttons-classic-menswear/?
Would it be appropriate to wear a tie bar with a shangtung tie as they seem to be a bit more casual than a silk print tie.
Thanks gents.
Hi, can you make a video about gentlemen formal attire in 1980?
Knit ties are the best
Living in Scotland in the winter I am more likely to sport a cravat and in the summer no tie except the bow tie that I wear with my seersucker suit
I'd really love a nice paisley tie or two. or more. Sadly pickings in my neck of the woods (the Baltics) have been slim, when it comes to both new and second hand pieces. I even heard some call these as "outdated and soviet", which is preposterous to say the least. When it comes to patterned ties, repp stripes seem to be most common.
Favorite tie that I own looks like a solid burgundy from a distance. It's only when you're up close can you tell there's a faint pattern
I'm a programmer who works from home. Nobody sees me However, when I go to Mass, I wear suits. I tell my kids that it's ok to give me ties as a gift.
I'm also a programmer that works from home. Recently I've been having fun dressing up to go work from another location like the coffee shop or library :-) One advantage to this I've found is that since I'm relatively anonymous no one is really surprised by me being dressed nicely or expecting me to look any particular way, so I can experiment with different looks with less pressure. Although, I do get positive comments sometimes from people which is nice!
There's something about the double breasted that just really fits you more than most. Great video as usual
More content about ties please..
Who’s that gentleman in the three piece suit with the green tie at 0:54 ? I’ve seen him in a few videos but I’m not sure if he narrates his own. I like his style though, he seems interesting.
I think Ties also look better than a line of Buttons.
Great video. What tie width do you recommend?
Thank you! Typically, you want to aim for a harmonious width with your jacket lapels. Somewhere from 2.5 to 3.5 inches at the widest point of the tie is usually the best range
Did Raphael wear a cod piece in that zoom video
All I wear knit tie and rep tie and pattern tie at it
Excelente seguiré recomendado este canal. nos ayudarían los subtítulos en español.
Question: tie with short sleeve shirt? I live in the tropics. We tend to go no tie because of the heat. Transit between extreme heat and heavy a/c is common. Many use tie to work. Others use a guayabera. I would like to hear your thoughts.
Never.
Thanks bruh
Last year I took my wife to Easter Brunch at Bayonet and Black Horse at the Old Ft Ord. I wore a coat and tie. A gentleman about my age came up and asked if I was a retired officer and I said yes. He then said to my wife that I was the best-dressed man at the place. Because casual has overtaken almost everyone in the Monterey area most men will wear chinos or jeans and a polo shirt.
Im exactly that type of tie guy wich Gentlemans Gazette hates. Because i love 80s ties.
Windiest tuxedo B roll in the game!

Is it okay to not have a knit tie?? I personally do not care for the visual texture of knit ties, or how their knots tend to come out. I do like different types of textures and weaves in neckties, but I think knit ties are too chunky maybe? For me at least.
I love your videos by the way! Can you do a video on stroller suits?
With most things when it comes to your style, it’s your personal choice, the clothes you wear are a form of expression, you need to enjoy what you wear, in that sense, it’s okay to do whatever you want
Me personally, I get the most compliments on my knit ties. I usually wear my ties without a suit, only a shirt with/without a vest, and people are more interested in the knitted ties, probably because it has been less common these past few decades.
I've also seen an increase of knit ties in popular media, for example, last years TV series 'Loki'.
@@Vikmanius I can understand that, I have a few pieces that are not as common that curry interest. I have seen them on the TV show Better Call Saul, worn by Howard Hamlin.
@@NapoIeoneBuonaparte Absolutely! I particularly enjoy classic menswear, so I like to learn new things and try new pieces. But like you said, personal choice is probably the biggest factor involved.
I'm somewhat with you on knit ties. I like fancy-shmancy red, patterned ties. Knit ties are a bit too plain for my tastes, but I'll take them over solid silk or wool. I think it's totally okay not to be into them. The only time tie detail really matters is with black or white tie. Otherwise, as another commenter said, they're an expression of taste and, as such, should reflect yours.
Gentleman's Gazette I have a question, is it ok to wear a short sleeve button shirt with a blazer?
I would say no as short sleeve shirts are more for wearing on their one on a hot summer day or for sports for example
Preston might be able to lend a hand here: www.gentlemansgazette.com/menswear-rules-to-break/?
At 22 years old my girlfriend tells me I dress very professionally. I can’t help but look for interesting & unique ties online. A few weeks ago Dillards was closing at my local mall and the tie I’d wanted ever since I saw it was in another guy’s hand right across from me😂. He let me take a picture of the tag so someday I’ll find it again.
I m 25 i will tie every day when I go out on the Town
I started wearing neck ties in my late teens.
That is Kyle's best outfit, as of Nov 21, 2023.
I'm 23 and I wear a suit almost everyday When I go to my college classes And I always get compliments and or weird stares People even mistake me as a lawyer since they wear a suit every day to the office or to the courthouse
For me ....the tie MAKES the suit as far as the assesories far a suit goes.....I use ties like a fine painting and when buying them I always buy paisley designs
👔
🎉
Rafael and his ties 😅
Five? I thought one was enough. And I don't even have one. I hate ties 😂
👏👏👍👍
This has inspired me to Downsize my already small collection
Why? Its not about how few ties you can get away with. Its about how to START out with a basic collection.
Interesting! What ties will you be keeping in your collection?
@@gentlemansgazette a yellow tie with a black stripe and I’ll buy all of the ties in this video from Fort Belvedere 😁 I’m a 21 year old kid I have always loved your videos
5 essential pocket squares next?
We've certainly got you covered with some essential squares here: www.gentlemansgazette.com/essential-pocket-squares/?
Thoughts on slim/skinny ties?
Great for cosplaying someone from 1987.
In my company the upper management doesn't wear ties. So rest neither. It's just considered odd when one comes to work with a tie, making it a disappointment for me. I have no other occasions to wear a tie 🤷
You wear a tie because a suit is designed to frame a tie. Without it, the suit can look incomplete. Like a frame without a picture.
I personally never wear silk ties, just wool.
🥃🎩
Great vid...ive stopped watching. This brought me back...can you do this vid for pocket squares? I struggle using my squares.
Glad to have you back, Aaron! We have many videos on pocket squares, what help do you need?
@@gentlemansgazette the first five i should own...i own your burnt orange one and the maroon one with rabbits on it...the orange one I can't match with anything..I wan't more but I am afraid I will lack styling skill...so the first five to introduce me to color amd expand my skills.
@@aarondaniels629 This list has what we believe to be the 9 essential ties, but it should be a great starting point for you: www.gentlemansgazette.com/essential-pocket-squares/?
Day 1 - Petition for rafael to demonstrate cottage core, preston to demonstrate 18th century French court fashion and Kyle to demonstrate dark academia.
I love ties!
What I don't love are what I have seen people wear instead of ties.
Bandanas, bolo ties, chunky and tacky gold chains, even the occasional ascot, are just horrific!
Pre-owned and charity shops are the place to buy really first class ties. As men that bought them saved them for "best" often never wore them, then died and the female staff at these shops that process clothing have no idea what they are handling.
In our society among young folk, or young men you have the hip-hop generation. And they do not dress up, they where tennis shoes on their feet every day. They wear baseball caps on their head, and they do not know anything about a suit and a tie. A lot of people in our society are wearing denim jeans with holes in them, reflecting low self-esteem. You can walk into a hip-hop store and the main items that you will see are t-shirts and tennis shoes.
Knit ties are hideous, but each to their own. For funerals I wear a purple silk tie on a black shirt.
With regards to job interviews, do not wear a tie for a job interview for the tech side of a tech company. Sweater and shirt is what you want. If you are in, say, sales or finance, a tie is appropriate.
Wearing a suit and tie is not a fashion statement. If you wear a suit without a tie you are in a state of undress. A tie or neck tie is vital with a suit and it should be of high quality silk. Cheap polyester ties are no good.
If it's not fashion what is it, it's cultural and in fact anglophile western dress which is international.
Sad to say, but every gentleman needs a plain black tie. For funerals.
Dude you need a dimple in your tie, c'mon that's basic stuff.
Patrick Bateman shouldn't be idolized btw.
Who idolizes him? Just an style example
