Stylish Ties as Seen on The Great Gatsby

Three Stylish Ties Spotted in the Great Gatsby"

That the 1920s left a memorable mark in the history of America should be of no surprise. The end of the first World War, Prohibition, the invention of the Radio, the birth of Mickey Mouse, and the stock market crash are just a few significant events that took place during this decade. It should come to no surprise then, that men's and women's fashion also had some very interesting changes happen.

When it comes to the world of men's neckwear two unique designs were most popular: Repp & Regimental stripe ties as well as ties featuring designs influenced by the art-deco movement. Also worth noting is the invention of a new way to construct a men's tie. A tailor by the name of Jesse Langsdorf created a new method to make a tie, which ensured that the tie will always go back into its original shape after each wearing. This method has become the standard and is now almost exclusively used.

If you are interested in 1920s fashion, then the Great Gatsby offers some great insight in the way men and women used to dress almost a century ago. We at Cheap-Neckties took a closer look at Gatsby's (played by DiCaprio) tie choices - all of which are also available here at on our site.

Classic Black Self-Tied Bow Tie
It should come to no surprise that Gatsby new how to dress in black tie - a dress code that hasn't changed in the past 100 years. Needless to say, any man needs a black freestyle bow tie in his collection.

Peach Orange Repp-Stripe Tie
Gatsby was who cared deeply how he was perceived by others. It shouldn't be too surprising then, that he was always dressed to the nines. One of the character's looks that stood out to us consisted of cream colored suit, brown vest, grayish blue dress shirt, tangerine orange striped tie, copper orange pocket square, and a silver collar bar.

Chocolate Brown & Pink Striped Tie
We were very excited when we spotted DiCaprio in our brown and pink striped tie - paired with a three piece pin-striped suit in pink, white dress shirt, chocolate brown pocket square, and Gatsby's signature silver collar bar.
