While vintage and designer ties have evolved over the years, they are still a must-have style accessory for any wardrobe. Today, ties can be found in a range of fabrics, colors, shapes and sizes.
Ties have been a part of fashion for centuries. The popularity of neckties emerged in the 17th century in Paris, inspired by the ties Croatian mercenaries wore to keep their jackets closed. King Louis XIV started wearing a lace cravat and a fashion craze was born.
The rise of casual wear in the early 20th century saw changes in the design of ties. The Roaring Twenties and its Art Deco movement were landmarks in American men’s fashion. In 1924, tailor Jesse Langsdorf innovated a design with 45-degree angles and a three-piece construction, resulting in the modern necktie.
During the 1950s, the tie was an essential component of a tailored suit. The 1960s and ’70s were decades for breaking all the fashion rules. Ties were no exception, with styles becoming wider and brightly colored.
Today, while the necktie endures as a staple of menswear, this accessory isn’t bound by outdated gender conventions. Designers and luxury houses such as Christian Dior, Giorgio Armani, Hermès and Luciano Barbera have all made their mark with patterned silk neckties that appeal to everyone.
A vintage silk tie is an evergreen accessory, while an understated black tie is always going to come in and out of your wardrobe. Browse 1stDibs for a large selection of vintage and designer ties.
