Slim Tie vs Classic Tie: Which One Should You Choose?
One of the most important elements to consider when choosing a tie is its width. Should you go for a slim tie or a classic one? In this guide, we’ll explain the differences, the advantages of each, and how to choose the right model for your body and your style.
What is a slim tie?
A slim tie usually measures between 5 and 6.5 cm in width. It’s narrower than standard ties and gives off a younger, more modern, and slightly more casual vibe. Perfect for slim builds and slim-fit suits.
What is a classic tie?
A classic tie measures around 8 to 9 cm in width. It’s the most traditional and versatile choice — ideal for formal, business, or ceremonial settings. It pairs well with regular or tailored suits and shirts.

Who looks best in a classic tie?
Men with broad shoulders or a more robust build
