So I heard the internet is obsessed with graphic unisex ties. Let’s just take a minute to discuss how ironic this name is; I mean ties were born out of boredom. They were a staple of corporate slaves who had no other choice but to wear the damn thing because the dress code demanded them to. To make ties graphic would mean to bring them to a whole new ball game. Are you trying to tell me that while the world was busy with some unworldly stuff, someone made ties cool? From what I’ve seen so far these ties are every fashion lover’s dream. They are quirky and fun, with quick witted motifs, some with your favourite superheroes and some with witty caricatures. There are some with retro comics and they have my heart.
I can literally see myself walking into my office sporting one of these little wonders. I can already feel all eyes on me, the sly grins and the double takes. Imagine going to a wedding, but instead of a stiff bowtie, you go for one of these eye grabbing and witty ties, what a great conversation starter right? Now, why would we switch to graphic ties from the elegant bow tie? One reason, according to the ones out there living a life filled with satisfaction, could be the switch from boring to playful. You think that’s right? The ugly man in the corner doesn’t agree, he thinks it’s similar to the shift of people’s focus away from their face to the tie, which is basically what these ties intend to do. That explains it’s explosive Instagram growth.
If you have a few extra pounds near the tummy region these statement ties can be a saviour. No, it doesn’t have any medicinal properties. But, the right tie helps any man on the higher side of the weighing scale to use their bulge to their advantage. And isn’t this what every guy dreams of? Eating as much as you want and yet come out as perfect. Just like the one you had in mind.
Another very interesting thing is the word unisex. It keeps flashing in my mind. Ties which were earlier believed to be the monopoly of men (much like everything else in the world is believed to be by women hating Trump loving sexists) are now being pitched as a unisex accessory. Pleasant as that seems, I had my doubts about it. Because women don’t wear shirts as often as men do, my little mind had failed to comprehend that these ties were meant to be styled with more than just shirts. When I saw how spectacularly these graphic ties go with crop tops, dresses, off shoulders and pretty much everything else, that’s when I understood it. These statement ties are revolutionary and that is why everyone from celebrities to fashion bloggers are going crazy.
Why don’t you try one for yourself? Because these statement ties come with a guarantee, that you’ll surely look into the mirror and wonder, “Why didn’t I get these before?” And that’s where the magic of these graphic ties lies!
