The Leisure Tie??
Geoff Nicholson
Most of us have heard of or seen the legendary leisure suit. If not, just think of Ron Burgundy and a huge glass of Scotch (Holy 70’s!!). BUT, can there be such a thing as the LEISURE TIE? If not, I’d like to officially announce its arrival. Sounds crazy right? Maybe not. The leisure suit emphasized comfort, casual occasions or no occasion at all. Sounds good to me. So basically the leisure tie would be a tie that doesn’t look like you’re heading to the office to play on your spreadsheets all day. Nope, not these ties. The leisure tie on its surface, may have some of the same shape and measurement characteristics of your day to day work tie, but the vibe is completely different. The comfort and casual nature of the leisure tie emphasizes bold textures over bold patterns, unique and interesting yarns over plain silk and dusty muted color palettes over bold and shiny saturated colors. The leisure tie tells everyone that you are wearing a tie because you want to, not because you have to.
So the next time you’re heading out for a good time with friends or family, throw on that leisure tie and be the guy that really stands out (in a good way of course).
