These Men’s Ties Are Set to Impress

Stop sweating your necktie choices. We’ve done the work for you

Even in Florida, the land where “business casual” was surely born, ties are sometimes a necessity. For weddings, job interviews, special religious ceremonies—and sometimes just for fun—choosing a necktie doesn’t have to feel like an arduous task. We’ve done the work for you. Here are five great ties that should work for any occasion.

KissTies Solid Satin Tie

One can never go wrong with a solid tie—they work for casual and formal occasions alike. With so many colors to choose from, this could be the perfect groomsmen gift for a wedding outfit. (Maybe save the “lime green” model for a holiday like St. Patrick’s Day.)

DAZI Floral Print Necktie

DAZI Floral Print Necktie
This handmade tie is constructed with 100 percent cotton and is safe for dry cleaning. It’s long enough to fit men as tall as 6-foot-10. Amazon

Never be afraid to show a little personality with a necktie. This floral print is perfect for holidays, weddings and other business-casual events. If the green print reminds you of a lushly landscaped Florida backyard, then all the better.

Secdtie Classic Stripe Necktie

This microfiber polyester silk tie is all business, with more than 36 designs available to match any shirt or suit. It’s dry cleaning safe as well. Amazon

Got a big job interview coming up or a work presentation for the board of directors around the corner? Then get busy picking one of these ties. The “preppy” striped look is timeless, and the fabric will shine right along with your positive attitude. Reviewers rave about the high quality and exceptional price.

Classic Pre-Tied Bow Tie

Classic Pre-Tied Bow Tie
This pre-tied model is easily adjustable to fit necks 8 to 22 inches. It’s made of 100 percent Garbardine and is hand-washable. Amazon

Ah yes, the obligatory bow tie. You wouldn’t buy a pre-tied regular necktie, but you sure better buy a pre-tied bow number. (Unless you’re Tony Bennett or Tom Jones— then buy this one.) More than three dozen colors are available, so you’ll be able to find a tie for a wedding, costume party or anything in between. (Note to costume seekers: Pee-Wee Herman wears a red one.)

Skinny Necktie

Skinny Necktie
This solid-black number is 1 ½ inches wide and 57 inches long. A label on the back doubles as a keep for the tie’s tail. Amazon

If you’re headed to a Golden Era of Hollywood party or a screening of 1980’s The Blues Brothers—this is the tie to wear. Seriously though, a skinny black tie might be the most versatile of any model, so make sure you keep one of these on your tie rack at all times.
