The style of your tie depends on the fabric you choose and it varies depending on taste and personality. Below are some examples to inspire you to sew a tie:
If your guy is traditional, a nice silk fabric will be perfect for his tie. You can also sew a matching handkerchief.
If your guy is like my son, you might want to use solids! They look nice in all kind of fabrics.
You can use a contrasting color for the back for a nice and professional finishing.
For a modern look, linen and floral fabrics are great options. These examples also show contrasting fabrics for front and back.
You can also be creative in the tie knots. There are many different styles that will make your man looks modern and polish.
And thinking outside the box, why not use it as a necklace for yourself!
