Top 10 Men’s Luxury Ties of 2021
Have you ever been to a formal event, and from across the room you see someone you know, but barely recognize them because they’re all dressed up? The thoughts that go through your head might include; “wow they clean up nicely. Do I look that good in a suit too? Where did he get that nice tie?”
We all know that we’re judged on our appearance first, and we only get one first impression. It’s human nature. So, knowing that others will be judging us on how we present ourselves, it’s important to look our best. Dressing well boosts our confidence and attracts success into our lives. The way we dress affects our state of mind. For example, a soldier will feel like a soldier when in uniform. An executive will feel like an executive when they’re suited up. Putting on a suit and tie subconsciously makes us feel more successful, confident and classy and helps us exude this to others.
The point is it’s more important than ever to dress our best, because others are constantly judging us based upon our outward appearances and our body language, which is affected by what we wear. So we’ve compiled a list of the best ties for 2021 to help you look your best in the New Year and for years to come. Everyone has a different budget, so we have compiled a range of price points so that you can find one that works best for you.
It’s important to note that not all ties are created equally. Since you are reading this, you likely want the best for yourself, or at the very least you would prefer quality over quantity. So how do you recognize a quality tie? Some companies choose to use polyester (plastic!), while others will choose a lower quality fiber like cotton or wool. The highest quality ties are made from silk, as it’s the most luxurious looking, easiest to care for, and best natural fiber on the market.
Another hallmark of a quality tie is the weight of it. What I mean by that is does it have an internal layer, making it thicker, and allowing you to tie a rich full knot, or is it ultra thin and difficult to get a solid knot? Every tie on this list is quality, made of silk, and has the internal layers meaning you will get a sturdy knot every time.
