Most Popular Men's Ties
The modern necktie got its start in Europe in the 17th century, introduced by Croatian Mercenaries in the service of France. When the boy-king Louis XIV started wearing them in 1646, it set the fashion for the France nobility and soon, men and women all over Europe were wearing fabric around the neck. Today, the men's tie can be a sophisticated touch at work, or on a date. Variations of the tie include the ascot, the bow tie, the bolo, the zipper tie, the cravat and the clip-on. A good tie, often made from silk, can set a man apart from the crowd.
