Page "Necktie" Paragraph 23

At the start of the 21st century, ties widened to wide, with a broad range of patterns available, from traditional stripes, foulards, and club ties ( Ties with a crest or design signifying a club, organization, or order ) to abstract, themed, and humorous ones.

The standard length remains, though other lengths vary from 117 cm to 152 cm.

While ties as wide as inches are still available, ties under wide also became popular, particularly with younger men and the fashion-conscious.

In 2008 and 2009 the world of fashion saw a return to narrower ties.
