The sales associate assured me that they are back in style and very popular. I was shocked. After asking around to a few men from an older generation I found out that square ties used to be very well-liked and they are absolutely making a come-back. It turns out they became widely fashionable in the 50’s and 60’s and are often referred to as flat bottom ties. Unlike typical pointed tip ties, square bottom ties look good woven, crocheted or machine knitted. I love it! Very Mad Men if you ask me. Of course these square ties only look good if they are skinny. These ties give a fun and flirty vintage look that can be dressed up or down. In summation, square or flat bottom ties are an outstanding contribution to your attire.
Quick Aside: I know I already wrote about the topic of ties once before, so just to reiterate check out The Tie Bar for all the best tie information.
