Why you should wear a knit tie.
While knit ties are considered a less formal tie, that doesn't mean you can't wear often. Most of us don't walk the red carpet, so it's really perfect for an office setting, church services, weddings, or brunch. They can be dressed up with a suit, or casual with chinos and button down shirt, blazer optional.
What's the best part about knitting your own tie? It's the options for customization. This tie can easily be made with stripes by changing colors every few rows. Or if you want to match an even, like a wedding, pop into your local yarn shop and find the perfect shade of yarn. And in my humble opinion, this would be amazing for all the groomsmen at a wedding. Imgine custom handmade ties to daper up the party.
