Novelty Neckties & Bow Ties
Novelty neckties became popular in the glamor times of the 80s. Cheesy, bright ties were most popular – even for business events. Today novelty ties have a slightly tacky reputation. They are after all a Novelty and not a fashion statement. Although the novelty tie is much less popular than it used to be, there are occasions when it is acceptable to wear one.
Dress Code for Novelty Ties
Typically, the less formal an event, and more laid-back the dress code, the more likely you can pull off wearing a novelty tie. If you are going to a Star Wars party for example, then yes, wear your Novelty tie with Darth Vader on it. For business attire novelty ties should be worn only on special holidays. A necktie with small shamrocks would be great for St Patrick’s day.
At Cheap Neckties it is our mission to only offer modern and classic necktie designs. Since we are more fashion oriented than most of our competitors, we do not carry novelty ties in our inventory.
