Beckham Sports Skinny Tie for Afterparty

If ever more proof was needed that skinny ties are well and truly in fashion, David Beckham was proudly wearing one for the afterparty following the launch of his H&M Bodywear Collection.

2010 - The Year of The Cravat

2010 is set to be the year of the cravat. The garment was brought back to the world's attention in 2009 with a steady stream of celebrities sporting the casual day cravat.

David Beckham, Ashton Kutcher, Jude Law and Robbie Williams - to name a few - were all snapped wearing cravats as they went about their high profile business.

Tiesplanet.com's Andrew Bragg says, 'The start of the new decade is set to see the cravat rise to real prominence as men continue to copy the looks of celebrities.

'Accessorising is a great cost-effective way of doing so... and we're inviting everyone to join the cravat movement!'

Classy range of casual day cravats available from Ties Planet, all priced at £14.99.

Which famous dad is most like your real dad?

With Father's Day fast approaching on Sunday 21st June we want to know which famous dad is most like your real father.

Is your dad a couch potato like The Royle Family's Jim Royle or a doughnut eating slob like Homer Simpson? Perhaps he is a cool dad like footballer David Beckham?

Let us know by answering our current poll question to the right of the page.

Smart/Casual? What's your view on ties?

The traditional image of ties has been associated with such people as politicians, newsreaders and lawyers. And whilst there is the odd cool person in those professions (think Ron Burgundy), the tie has been regarded as a ultra-smart accessory to get that professional appearance across.

However, skinny ties have been consistently popular now for such a length of time it would seem the tide is turning in the necktie world! Celebrities such as David Beckham and Justin Timberlake are rarely seen on a night out without a tie draped around their neck.

It isn't just skinny ties either. Fashionistas the world over are finding new ways of looking the business (if not for business). Take American actor, Penn Badgley for instance. The photo inset shows Badgley sporting a regular width tie tied loosely over a slim-fit white shirt.

So, what do you think? Do you still firmly consider ties the accessory of the business/professional world or are ties the coolest thing since ice cream?

Beckham Looking To Tie Up Future in Milan?

After making his AC Milan home debut in the San Siro on Saturday evening David Beckham looked like he was dressed to impress on Sunday.

Alongside other celebrities including Kelly Brook and Danny Cipriani, Beckham watched on in awe at the Emporio Armani Menswear Fashion Show in the former England captain's latest adopted city, Milan.

Beckham looked sharp in black suit, white shirt and narrow black tie. We can only speculate as to who he was trying to impress, but just maybe he is looking to secure a permanent move to the famous Milan club, where is he on loan until March.

Want Beckham's look? We can help with the tie at least... We have a slimline black tie available priced at £9.99.

Beckham In Tie Again

David Beckham has been talking to Sky Sports this week and chose to carry on his tie wearing ways for the interview (which can be viewed here).

The LA Galaxy star spoke about all things football including Real Madrid, Fabio Capello, Manchester United and even gave his view on the summer's hot topic, Cristiano Ronaldo's proposed move to Spain.

Beckham sported a thin black tie to complement his white shirt and v-neck jumper. We thought he looked rather smart.

Beckham Birthday Marred by Shocking Tie & Hanky Mismatch

We were interested to see David Beckham step out for his 33rd birthday celebrations this week.

The Daily Mail was most interested by he and wife Victoria's monochrome outfits. Interesting, granted... but what intrigued us more was the LA Galaxy star's decision to wear tie and pocket hanky. Nothing too daring about that you may think... but Beckham's hanky and tie did not match. Shock. Horror.

So, if you're reading David, if you couldn't find a matching set, you might want to take a look at our Tie, Hanky & Cufflinks Sets. Priced at £11.99, they are well in your price range.

Ricky Hatton or David Beckham?

OK, I think we all know which one would win in a fight, but who looks the smartest here?

















There won't be a poll on this one.

The British sporting icons were meeting at the Los Angeles Galaxy vs. Houston Dynamo game on Sunday, September 16, 2007 at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California. Hatton is in town promoting his upcoming superfight against Floyd Mayweather.
