Wedding Ties - Page 9

They're fine, just kind of uninteresting and unrefined IMHO...I'm sure that RLPL one costs a pretty penny and maybe the other ones are expensive too, but somehow to me a solid shiny tie is always in danger of looking like it was bought for $15 somewhere. A glen check will never look like that.

I hate satin solid as well, but not all solids need to be satin. There's twill, and of course grenadine:

 

I just wanted to say how helpful this thread has been.  I found a RL Glen Plaid tie NWT on eBay for $45 that is perfect.  I will be wearing it for my wedding.

Going through this wedding tie decision myself right now.  What do people think of this with a 2B, peak lapel charcoal three piece suit and a white french cuff collar pin shirt?

 

Should the dots be closer, or is this acceptable?

That can work IMO.

It's a decent outfit, but it isn't a traditional wedding tie, if that matters to you.

 

Other than that, there are two things I don't like about that tie: the dots are horizontal instead of diagonal, and it isn't even cut straight. You can see the columns of dots are not even.

I can see his point, the diagonal dots would make it more flattering on the wearer, am I right?

I now agree. I looked at my dot ties at home, and they are all diagonally dispersed in an "X" fashion.  I take it there is nothing inherently incorrect about wearing a dot tie for wedding then, and that it is equally acceptable as the plaid (which I do not care for) and the sheperd's check.

There's really no tie that is specifically unacceptable for a wedding, but the proper wedding ties described earlier in this thread, including black/white glen plaid, shepherd's check, etc. are the most proper. Dot ties are not in the same rank as these.
