You would be truly surprised at the number of ties available in the market, catering to almost all tastes and
styles. Some of the parameters on which ties vary include design, color combinations, and material. Material-wise, ties are of two main types; polyester and silk. Polyester ties are both durable
and easily washable. These ties can either be smooth-finished or have fabric visible weaves. Silk ties have a rich and shiny look, and are more expensive than other materials. Satin ties are
almost similar to silk ties in texture and could be considered a more economical option.
As far as looks go, the variations are truly endless. Plain ties have just a single color running right
through the tie’s body. These ties can safely be worn for just about any occasion. Some plain ties, called H/Rib and D/Rib silk ties, are rendered with horizontal or diagonal weaves, which
offer a miniscule change to the monotony or a uniform color. Multicolored ties sport a combination of colors and innovative designs. Fashion ties are usually designed by experts in the
profession, and these items have spotted or striped designs, among many other innovative woven works. Novelty ties are tailor made for specific occasions and can be gifted to family members and
friends. Certain ties may even have cartoon characters embossed on them. On the basis of wearing styles, ties can be classified into clip-on ties, bow ties, and cravats.
