9 Neckties Every Man Should Own | Tie Styles To Complete Your Necktie Collection | Ties Neck-Ties
About this video
Centeno presents nine tie styles ranked by versatility and practicality for building an interchangeable wardrobe. He recommends purchasing ties in a specific order—starting with solid colors, then progressing through polka dots, foulards, paisley, sport/club, university, regimental, plaid, and costume ties—emphasizing that classic, muted patterns offer maximum wearability throughout the year.
Key takeaways
- Centeno argues that solid ties in dark blue, medium blue, or dark green should be a man’s first tie purchase, as they offer maximum versatility and can be worn frequently
- Centeno recommends avoiding neon colors, overly light shades, and black ties for most occasions, as they limit how often a tie can be worn in everyday situations
- Centeno advises choosing patterns with small, muted details—such as polka dots or paisley—that don’t appear elsewhere in clothing, allowing them to coordinate with almost any outfit
