Who makes the loudest ties?

[johnshaw]

I have to wear a suit to work everyday and I wear quite conservative ties. Recently my colleagues in the office, especially the girls, have said that I should start wearing louder ties as they would better reflect my personality. So who makes the loudest ties?

Thanks.

Hard to get much louder than duchamp.

Thanks I will check them out. Do you have any more suggestions?

Versace generally makes some pretty loud ties.

Thanks I will check them out as well.

I consider that "loud" is a pejorative term in this context.

If you're looking for original, eye-catching designs, I would recommend Fornasetti, which also happen to be well-made ties. Here is one example:

That's probably "louder" than is appropriate in most business environments... but you did ask for the loudest.

It's unlikely that a business environment where wearing a suit and tie is expected, would result in a loud tie being the preferable choice. As Alex Dumortier notes, "loud" is not a good thing in this context.

Ignore your colleagues' suggestions, much as if they were to tell you to wear "scruffier" clothing, to better reflect your personality.

As for your female colleagues, assuming you're single and interested in them socially, offer to wear less conservative ties when going out with them. But work is work, and play is play, and don't go confusing the two.

It's always possible that they weren't suggesting that you change your ties...

 

[johnshaw]

They were actually suggesting that I change my ties. I've looked at Duchamp and the others mentioned and they IMO are too loud. Are there any brands that are not too loud or too conservative at the same time?

Drakes actually has some pretty loud ties. You could try Turnbull and Asser as well.

It's threads like this that make me miss Vox the most. :sigh:

 

[johnshaw]

I've had a look at Turnball and Asser and I actually like their ties. Drakes ties tend not to have much colour in them.

Look in the sale section of the drakes website.

Louder is different from loudest.
