David Beckham Wearing Solid Black Necktie
He doesn’t just know how to play soccer, but he is also knows how to dress. It is not surprising that Mr Beckham prefers tailored, sportier looking, clothes. When he is not in sweats or soccer shorts you will find him wearing a wide range of styles: From a trendy-casual look of fitted designer jeans and artist label T-shirt, to the contemporary-elegant look of the European cut suit. Where does he get his sense of style? Maybe it is his European heritage. Or maybe it has to do with the fact that he is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham who recently launched her own clothing line called dVb.
After we found this picture of Mr Beckham dressed in a solid gray suit, white dress shirt, and solid color black necktie, we had to write about it. The tie appears to be on the slightly narrower side -as common for European designed neckties. The tie appears to be around 3-3.25 inches in width. It is narrow, but not to be mistaken with the skinny tie first made popular in the late 60s. The skinny tie measures about 2-2.5 inches in width.
How to Wear the Skinny Tie
If Mr Beckham’s look gave you some inspiration to wear a more narrow, solid color tie, then there are a few things you should know. Skinny ties are considered “trendy”, and should be matched with clothes in the same category. Weather you choose to wear the skinny tie with trendy designer jeans and sport coat, or a contemporary 3 button, European cut designer suit, the narrow tie has to be matched with other contemporary clothing items. Besides matching the skinny tie to your other pieces of clothing, make sure it matches your body-type, age, and the occasion. Skinny ties are most commonly worn by younger men with a tall, and/or athletic built. It is less common in traditional business attire.
