My guess is she got that from "Pretty Woman" lol. We have all done it with BF's if the tie looks good.

Aw4- Try Escape...mmmm!!

I live in rural Texas. If you wear a suit and tie...well, you understand. Even church around here is dockers and sports shirts. And it's South Texas where most of December is in the 60s and 70s. Funerals and weddings are dress up in suits, but not totally.

One of my jobs requires a tie from time to time, so I keep them for that. I have more than enough and I'm not shopping for any more.

For my consulting, casual is OK. If a lady and I go to dinner while I'm on the road, my wardrobe is limited.

So, in what price range would you purchase ties? And what material?

$0 - 30
$31 - $50
$51 - $75
$76 - $100
$100+

The ties I have (doubt if I'll get any more) are all silk, and mostly cost under $50.

When I was in Chicago a couple of months ago, I ducked into a Nieman's to await the hotel shuttle (it was cold as hell). I think the ties there started around a couple hundred bucks.

And, what do you pay for in the price of a tie? The construction? The design? The material?

I don't care where she got the idea. It worked.

The tie was Hermes.

I doubt the ties at NM started at a couple of hundred. The range for high quality men's ties these days is about $100-$200.

I'll bow to your knowledge. I only looked at one price, I remember being shocked, and it's been a couple of months. And since I'm not in the market for ties, I didn't look at any more of them.

Reminds me of a winter day when a lovely lady was meeting me at my hotel. She had to cab it from across the city. When she entered she took off her coat ... she was completely naked

I have gotten the best ties for under 50 bucks...it's the look and the feel I go for, not the name.

A cheap tie only screams CHEAP. Only thing worse is a string tie.

I use Armani Gio but the bottle is getting empty so I may try a new scent. Any suggestions?

Chanel pour Homme. It is sexy, sexy sexy. But be sure you buy the one with the silver lettering and trim NOT the one with the white lettering and trim. For whatever reason Chez Chanel decided to name two, very different scents the same name. Must be a French thing.

To tie or not to tie? I like them on a man; I like the French cuffs too. I think a tie is a must when going to an event such as the opera or a play other than that, they are optional in today's fashion world.
