Red Skinny Ties

Want to avoid being boring? In a sea of stripes, navy blues, and tiny checks, a solid red necktie does the trick. Pair it with a white shirt and black pants to keep it relatively subdued, or go a little wilder with a striped shirt.

Bright colors in skinny ties look especially good, because they can add a flash of color without overwhelming everything else you’re wearing.

Here’s a couple ways to pull off the look:

Go with an ultra-skinny leather tie…

Look polished by pairing red with a well-fitted grey suit…

Or, if you’re feeling especially bold, switch the color combo and go with a red shirt, black skinny tie…

Even girls take advantage of this trend. Check out Avril’s look:

The key to pulling this off? A muted red/pink skinny tie, tied loosely around the neck, paired with a feminine shirt.
