Lets talk about Men's clothing...WTF is up with Harold Ford's tie right now?

[sfam]

Harold Ford Jr. has maybe the most hideous neon lime green tie I've ever seen going with a light blue shirt and blue blazer. I don't know when that lime green tie would work, but um, not today...

8. a friend of mine actually used that.

We were at an event one time and he had me tie it for him and slip it over his head. Of course I ribbed him mercilessly for it.

The next time we came to an event he was tied up. This website stole some good humor from me.

14. A Small To Medium Size Knot

The only place you see "Windsor" knots are at 50 and 60 year high school reunions...

Barack has a nice knot:

The dimple is a nice touch, very haute couture...

17. That's a lovely knot - does it have a *name*? lol!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. I Don't Think So

But if you wear a tie, make a small to medium knot and try to put a "dimple" in it...

[Gore1FL]

15. I always use the Half Windsor

(I Think) from the looks of the instructions

[BlooInBloo]

18. Oh bless you for giving me a name! lololol!

[Cant trust em]

24. The windsor is my fav.

It makes a nice triangle on your throat. Very symmetrical.

34. What is nice about the half windsor

it it doesn;tcvome out crooked like smaller knots, but if you tie it tight enough it makes a very small knot.
