The skinny tie is back in, but it certainly hasn’t breached the popularity of its heyday, the 1960s.
The “Rat Pack:” Peter Lawford, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, and Joey Bishop graced stages and screens across the country. Originally, the name was given to a group of actors centered around Humphrey Bogart, including Frank Sinatra. After Bogart’s death, the new “Rat Pack” emerged, though they called themselves “the clan” or “the summit.” The group had a falling out regarding JFK and Sinatra’s ties to the Mafia, but they partially reunited for a tour in the late eighties. They were always dressed well.
Here’s another group of skinny-tie wearers you might recognize:
‘Nuff said. Notice George’s skinny tie with the square end. These don’t seem to be popular now, but they definitely were back in the day.
Sean Connery could make James Bond look good in anything, from his square leg swim suit to the typical Bond attire: slim fitting, conservative suit, slim tie, occasionally a white handkerchief in the pocket. This set pic from the 1962 film Dr. No features one of the first Bond girls, Zena Marshall. Not the first to be seduced by Bond, she was the first to try and betray him. Bond caught her, of course.
When looking at this picture, I can’t keep from wishing modern presidents were a little more…stylish. Yes, I realize one poll voted him “Most Stylish Man.” But c’mon, striped red or blue ties get old.
Ties were by no means part of Elvis’ default wardrobe. As you can imagine, his clothes were typically a little more extravagant. With more popped collars. Nevertheless, the combination of the sleekness of his dress with the rawness of a Harley captures Elvis’ appeal.
