Hello, all. I amassed a fairly sizable (for a teenager) tie collection in high school, as I was in coat and tie virtually every weekend for some activity or another. Unfortunately, my high school years were from '97-'01, right in the middle of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? fashion trends: aside from my trusty blue blazer, my mainstays were a 3-piece charcoal DB suit and a 3-button black suit. Thus, my tie collection is largely matched to those suits, while I now typically wear blue pinstripes or earth tones.
To the point, I'm thinking about getting rid of some of these old ties, and thought I'd ask the help of the Lounge in deciding which of these least-used ties in my collection would be most versatile to keep for the future and which (if any) should go on the auction block. Apologies for the poor picture quality.
Batch #1:
The left four have black/charcoal accents, while the right four are blue.
Batch #2:
These colors are mostly a bit easier to see. #1 is green and black; #2 is olive with light blue, gold, and black design; #5 is olive, black, and ivory with gold piping.
Thanks for any suggestions you can offer!
