I've written before that I like satin neckties for evening. The combination of a well cut navy or midnight blue suit, a white shirt and a red, light blue or gold satin tie is about as elegant as a man can get without his dinner jacket.
In the photo, Lorenzo Cifonelli (of the Parisian tailoring family) does justice to the look. Though I'd like to think that there's a bit of white linen in his breast pocket that's just fallen out of sight.

A Satin Necktie

I must say, I'm not fond of the jacket color, but that is just personal preference. A little too electric blue for my taste. I do like the tie very much. I have one in silver that I don on occasion.

A satin necktie? Hmmm. I certainly see your point, Will. But I have serious reservations. Where I currently live, shiny clothes have been adopted by the AmJack element for evening wear. Though it's shiny shirts, not ties, that predominate. I often see them in clubs and upscale drinking establishments. For evening wear I prefer a solid navy, midnight blue, or black necktie, maybe in silk or poplin. Sometimes in a small polka dot pattern. Something subdued and non-flashy.

I have yet to ever own a satin tie, but I do own a solid navy suit and white shirt, so I'll be looking at the gold, red and light blue satins next time I'm shopping for ties.

Nothing wrong with satin, however the colour of the tie does not complement the man's skin tone. The knot looks a little sloppy, not what you would expect from someone in the trade. I also think the overall look is boring. Perhaps a pocket square and a different colour tie would help.

Satin is a great fabric, but I have never worn a satin tie during the day. I am trying to wear my woolen ties as often as possible while it is still cold.

I'd also put forth the pearl gray satin tie with the navy suit & white shirt. Crisp, clean & elegant every time!

I must say your post was timely, Will. Just last night I was looking through a catalog and wondering when/why one would wear a satin tie. And you've answered the question.
Mr Cifonelli's jacket is certainly well-made. It does seem more appropriate to evening wear however. I agree that the tie is tied carelessly and that a pocket handkerchief would be particularly helpfulto the look. Finally, elegance is undercut by the several days without shaving. I do not understand why "men's fashions" models are so often shown that way. And worse, a leading businessman. Does anyone have comments on that? - January 30, 2008 at 5:30:00 AM PST
