Like many menswear items that have long been considered wardrobe staples, the tie hasn’t escaped deliberations about its relevance in fashion. In fact, as is the case right now, many employees worldwide are reemerging from their work-from-home environments and questioning the need for specific office attire. But the debate surrounding ties isn’t anything new. Like suits, the humble necktie has, over time, been branded dead as often as it has been revived on runways by fashion gatekeepers.

Despite everything it’s had thrown its way, the tie continues to be ubiquitous among men from all walks of life. The truth is — and you might not like this — at some point or another, whether it’s asked of you at work or indicated on the dress code, you’ll probably be required to tie on a tie.

The great news is that menswear is transforming as we’ve never seen before. Outdated rules that once dictated every minute detail about when and how items should be worn are finally being thrown out. In short, where clothing is concerned, anything goes (Unless, of course, a dress code explicitly asks that you not wear specific attire).

And so, the same logic applies to ties. No matter your style preference, personality, or even the occasion you’re dressing for, there are endless tie options to suit every type of person — and budget. The most important takeaways are to know what you like, how much you’re willing to spend, whether what you prefer seems appropriate given the dress code and/or setting, and then, of course, allow yourself to have some fun when it comes to shopping around for this iconic neckwear.

If you love ties, welcome. But for those who find it a bit more challenging to find the joy in sporting one, here’s our selection of the best ties for men to help convince you why this accessory remains an essential part of your wardrobe.
