My husband is not a suit-and-tie guy. For him, wearing formal clothing ranks someplace between having a root canal and taking out the garbage. I happen to think that he looks oh-so-handsome when a special occasion requires an attire a little fancier than jeans and a T-shirt (OK, he rocks in casual outfits, too). He must secretly agree with me because both of us had a great time browsing the ABC Neckties collection and picking our favorites.
ABC Neckties offers hundreds of different selections. Their site is very easy to navigate - you can browse by color, style, or design. Just under silk ties, there are 237 items: stripes, squares, paisley, so many elegant styles!
We received a beautiful navy silk necktie for review. The tie is hand-made, with woven grid, and 100% silk. We love how stylish and classic it is. The quality is very good. At a little over $20, the tie would make a great addition to any guy's wardrobe, and a great gift - Father's Day will be here before we know it! This is a tie that would be appropriate for any special occasion. I think now my husband is actually looking forward to the next time he needs to dress up!
If your guy likes novelty ties, ABC Neckties has over 20 different categories: from animal print to fine art (Mona Lisa, anyone? Van Gogh Sunflowers?) to western and wildlife. And food ties, Harley Davidson ties, holiday ties, occupational and sports ties - something for everyone!
Deal Alert
ABC Neckties are very reasonably priced, and right now they are having a winter sale - 15% off sitewide! And - all orders ship free within the U.S.
