At the local thrift shop, the only decent ties I find are those skinny ties. They're the only ones in good condition, and have a pattern I'm looking for. What does everybody think of skinny ties? I know they were making a revival, but I don't know if this fad has already died out.
And, how would one wear them? I know if I wearing them with a suit, I'd need to wear a suit with narrower lapels. But, what if I'm just wearing them with a dress shirt? I'm just thinking that it might not work because a 4 in hand works for a standard dress shirt. And, to wear with a skinny tie, you'd need collars that were narrower, but they don't get any narrower than the standard dress shirt. It just seems that it might throw off the whole proportion of it.
