Knit Tie Buying Guide - All You Need to Know About Knit Ties

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to knit ties, covering the two main quality tiers (soft and crunchy), material options, proper knot selection, styling recommendations for different occasions, and storage methods. They explain how knit ties differ from traditional ties in construction and drape, and offer guidance on coordinating them with various jacket styles and formality levels.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team recommends the four-in-hand knot for knit ties since they’re thicker than regular ties, and other knots create oversized, chunky results
• The Gazette team suggests soft knit ties for casual sport coat outfits and stiffer crunchy knit ties for suits, as the latter adds dimension and works even with business pinstripe suits
• The Gazette team argues that silk is the superior material for knit ties year-round, while wool and cashmere blends are best reserved for fall and winter, and they advise against polyester options
• The Gazette team notes that knit tie width should match lapel width, and knit ties hang straight so a 7cm knit tie is as wide as a 9cm regular tie
