Just like color and fabric, the width of your tie can change your entire look. Here’s the skinny on the most common tie widths, from thinnest to widest.
2 IN
The narrowest of ties. The 2-inch is for truly fashion-forward gents. Less tie = more statement.
2.5 IN
2.5 inch is the classic skinny tie. It’s a favorite of GQ and looks best with slim suits or trim lapels.
3 IN
Not too skinny, not too wide…juuust right…If you’re a modest guy who wants to try something a tad more modern, go with the 3 inch.
3.25 – 3.5 IN
Wide ties are a very traditional look. They’re also good for bigger guys, or guys with very broad shoulders.
