in defence of the skinny tie...

Ay mates its been a while now,2011 is full of surprises and we have seen revolutions like never before,besides that the extreme weather conditions around nairobi,are moody oscillating between extremes,you will at some point in your life realise that this is actually due to some bipolar condition,northpole vs southpole(pun intended).ooh yeah right am here to defend the skinny before you oust it ,off the power suits..........Skinnys are here to stay,let me hand you a few pointers why
1) they will always be beside you even in lean times..
2) Fat ties cant keep up..yap you guessed right coz they fat, thats why you can only wear them in suits but not on a casually
3) If in any case you wanna look sharp,its only logical you look at the tip of the skinny tie,and yeah i know i know its actually sharp,hence translating to your sharp look

WHY THE SLIM IS MY CHOICE....

Nairobi kenya,the weathers looking good today,but be warned of its multiple personality disposition ,either way i got my slim on.If you were born after the 60s,(most of you are...) you might have seen the evidence of this trend on the popular TV show 'Mad Men', set in 1960s America. Its costume has inspired many designers to ditch wide ties in favor of thinner versions. This past summer, we have witnessed designers such as Prada, Gucci and saville row, to name a few, all showcasing their skinny neckwear . Celebrities such as Jude Law, Brad Pitt and David Beckham are all choosing skinny neckties. It is true that it's all down to personal taste and being fashion savvy is not everyone's cup of tea, but the skinny tie is a classic in its own right, and will always carry an air of distinction....


   THE GENTLEMAN....AND BELOW THE GANGSTER...

THE IMPOSSIBLE COOL...

Have you noticed lately that things have started to trim up? The 2010 budget. Political corruption bribes . And even the cut of your tie. That’s right, the quintessential male staple has finally had a makeover. Go to any hip nightclub in Nairobi and I guarantee you’ll see dudes wearing what appears to be an anorexic tie. The fashion scene isn’t resistant to fads as feeble as this.
Prior to a couple years ago, you’d be appalled to find a tie that was narrower than 3.75 inches at the widest part.  So does that mean you can just go out and buy the new “skinny” tie and fit in on the Magnificent Mile? Not quite.
Clothing is a lot like the architecture on Street: it’s about balance and visual proportions. Thus, rocking a skinny tie with your Armani  suit from two years ago isn’t going to work out. Why you ask? Because the lapels on your suit coat probably measure 3 inches or wider and the thin tie is lost in between; there's no balance.
In  perfect semblance, the widest part of your lapel should match the widest part of your tie. Therefore, if you want to catch this trend and not look like a victim of fashion marketing, you’ll need to update the suits as well. Pull it off correctly, and you might just earn some style at only KSHS 300 at Sir bradleys....

BEST KNOT FOR A SKINNY..

Typically it is the goal to tie a tie knot so that the tie hangs straight, and that the knot itself is either symmetric (for the full Windsor tie knot), or has the popular dimple (best suited for the Four in Hand tie knot). For skinny ties, it is preferred to have a “non-perfect tie knot”. Instead the knot should be slightly loose. The tie also doesn’t have to hang straight, and instead of one dimple, multiple crinkles at the knot are preferred.

The best suited tie knot for skinny ties is the simple and most common tie know: The Four in Hand knot. The four in Hand knot is the oldest tie knot that originally was invented in Britain dueing the end of the 19th Century. Ever since, the Four in Hand is the most commly ted knot for ties - regualr sized ties, skinny ties, or even extra long ties.

 The reason the four in Hand tie knot is so popular is because it is first of all quite simple to master. In fact it is often times referred to as the simple knot. In additon it is a tie knot that simply looks best for tradtionally striped ties such as British Regimental stripes ties. It is also a preferred knot when wearing a shirt with a more narrow collar spread.
Instructions for the Four in Hand tie knot:

The Four in Hand necktie knot: A small asymmetrical tie knot best suited for solid colored neckties, traditoanal striped ties, and skinny neckties.
