ZOD! Structure Black Microfibre Tie

In 1893 Oscar Wilde wrote ‘A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life,’ Fashion historians in Europe trace the advent of neckties to Croatian mercenaries hired by King Louis XIII who wore bright, knotted neckerchiefs in the Thirty Year War. Parisians took notice and immediately took neckwear into fashion. Legend has it that the traditional name for neckwear “Cravats” has been derived from the Croats. Originating in the 1960’s, skinny or slim ties emerged as a bold statement against conventional fashion. Popularized by British bands of that era, skinny ties continue to embody youthful, trendy styling. Pair this slim tie (5.5cm width) with our Tuxedo shirt for that “Black Tie Look”. Solid ties can add subtle style to a patterned shirt or a bring a bold contrast to a plain shirt and are available across colours in Microfibre.
