Ever feeling bored with plain or striped tie. The checked, gingham, tartans or houndstooth ties would make a good choice to swap the style boredom.
There's a different in the designs. Checked normally has larger 'squares', while gingham is it's smaller version. While tartans has an irregular lines/squares that makes it so chic (Think Scottish tartans..). Houndstooth or dogstooth (or now there's even puppytooth) has a distinctive design that is so classic. Look for the fabric. Checked tie normally come in cotton, which makes it look a bit 'cheap' coz the 'white square' seem to highlight the black at the back. Tartans normally comes in silk (Muslim men mustn't wear silk!). Houndstooth can be in polyester/viscose or even silk.
My word of advise: Careful of choosing checked or tartans designs. You don't wanna to be looking more chavs than chic!
Here's are some of my picks.
