The Tie Our Visitors Loved The Most so Far in 2009
Are you interested to find out what the most popular tie has been so far in 2009? At Cheap Neckties we carry over 1,000 different neckties and bow ties in stock, and we looked through our sales since the first of January 2009 to find out what has been the most popular necktie.
What surprised us a little is that the most popular tie was not one of our $5 necktie selection. No, not even from our $10, or $15 selection. The most popular tie cost $20, which is still an unbelievable low price for a necktie that has been handmade from finest Italian silk.
So, the tie that sold the most is the light blue necktie you see on the left. The tie has a thicker silk inlay which not only gives this tie (and the tie knot) a fuller look, but it also makes the tie drape like a dream. The fine navy blue and white stripes are also not printed on, but were intricately woven into the fabric using a Jacquard weaving technique. To purchase this tie, simply click on the image and add the tie to your shopping cart.

And once again we came across a well-dressed celebrity that is worth writing about. Leonardo DiCaprio is by many considered a man with a taste for sophisticated style. This picture was taken in Paris during his movie premiere “Body of Lies”. Mr DiCaprio is wearing a 2-button, gray suit, with a subtle window-pane check pattern. The suit is matched with classic white dress shirt and a solid color silver necktie. A perfect combination that is classy, elegant, and stylish. Our Verdict: 9/5 out of 10. Why not a 10? It appears as if the dress shirt’s sleeves are too short. Ideally about 1/8 to 1/4 inch of the sleeve collar should be showing. 
The Necktie
To answer this questions, we first have to define what a necktie really is. Some argue that the necktie is over 2,000 years old. Ancient clay sculptures, like the on on the left, that depict Chinese emperors wearing neckties date back to around 221 B.C. It is likely that this early form of necktie was made from silk, since the history of silk dates back to China 4,000 years ago. 
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. 
If Mr Beckham’s look gave you some inspiration to wear a more narrow,

And once again we found another famous celebrity wearing a necktie. This time George Clooney is showing off a two-tone gray striped tie. The tie is matched with a very fine pin-striped, charcoal gray, 3-button suit, and a classy white dress shirt. An excellent combination of color and pattern. While gray, white, and blacks are always easy to combine, patterns can be a little more tricky. As a general rule you should match different patterns that are different in size. This is done very well in this case. Mr Clooney’s narrow pin-striped suit combines well with the slightly wider stripes on the tie.
And again we are featuring another celebrity’s necktie. This time our eyes were on John Stewart, host of the “Daily Show” on Comedy Central. Like most anchors and TV hosts, Mr Stewart always dresses very professionally in suit and tie. The suits are typically in classic colors like gray of navy blue. You will never see anything too flashy on him. It seems as if it is his wardrobe consultants objective to find an elegant, timeless outfit that will appeal to a wide audience. And they do this quite well!
Finally the medium collar spread on his dress shirt is matched with a classic half Windsor tie knot. The knot has a slightly asymmetrical shape – a common characteristic for the half Windsor knot. It is a perfect knot for striped neckties and shirts with a medium collar spread (since it is slightly smaller in size than the larger Full Windsor knot).

On the left you see Steven Colbert wearing a navy blue suit that appears to be made from a slightly worsted wool. The heavier fabric is an excellent choice for fall and winter wardrobe (the picture was taken in winter 08). The crisp white shirt is always classy looking with navy, or pretty much any suit color. What is most interesting is his necktie: A yellow and navy tie with horizontal stripes. The navy stripes are a great compliment to his suit, while the lighter yellow shade adds a touch of color that compliment his complexion.
