When one wants to be successful
and look powerful, the last thing one needs to be accused of is wearing a cheap
tie. In the business world, looking as if one is wearing cheap clothing or
discount neckties is frowned upon. Have you been asked to a formal event? If
so, you may be searching for the right formal tie and realizing that not only
is good business attire expensive, but formal wear is even more expensive. A
high quality, name brand tie can go for more than $100. If a person is supposed
to have a selection of ties, it could be enough to break their clothing budget.
A better alternative is to find ties that look expensive, may not last as long
as expensive ties, but are clearance or wholesale ties. How can one find these
inexpensive, nice-looking ties?
1.
Be a smart shopper.
Smart shoppers will
not buy the first thing they see and will shop around for the sales. Smart
shoppers will look for discount neckties, will keep their eye out for good
sales, and will shop at multiple stores on any given shopping trip. Smart
shoppers wait until stores have seasonal sales in order to buy clearance and
sale ties. Some stores sell particular colors preferentially during one season.
If one waits until the end of season sales, these stores will try to get rid of
their seasonal colors and will discount their ties deeply. Since most colors
are never out of style, stocking up on colors even when they are considered
‘out of season’ will build your personal inventory of ‘cheap’ ties.
2.
Shop wholesale
There are plenty of
large warehouse stores where one can shop for cheap neckwear at wholesale
prices. Beware of large lots of neckties. Once again, shop wisely and you will
be able to find deals on great looking wholesale ties.
3.
Choose your cheap ties wisely
There are
particular things one needs to look for in order to intelligently choose
expensive looking discount neckties:
a. Avoid
solid colors, especially in silk or satin. These tend to show imperfections
well. Instead, if you must purchase solid ties, check out microfiber ties which
look expensive, but are often considered discount ties.
b. Buy
patterns, but not complex patterns. Complex patterns draw attention to your
tie. Simple patterns on the other hand, will look nice without drawing undue
attention.
c. Avoid
ties that crease easily. Once bought, take care that your tie does not crease
too much.
d. Check
to see if, after you have tied a knot, the front of the tie drops down without
creases, wrinkles or undue dimples.
Remember: even cheap neckwear can last a while if taken care of. Make sure you invest at least in a nice tie holder. Expensive, well-made tie holders can keep creases and wrinkles out of your discount ties between uses.
4. Shop online
Once you understand the fabric composition, shopping for ties online can yield many great deals on cheap ties and sale ties. Online stores have very low overhead, so they will be able to offer better prices than big box stores.
You do not have to
look cheap if you do not have the funds to purchase expensive designer ties. Go
