So you love the end of the year celebrations but don't care for neckwear which makes you look like a walking talking advertisement for Christmas? Never fear. Suggestions are here! With just a little forethought, you can choose a men's tie right for you without looking like a bright blinking Xmas tree!
Â
Avoid the Colors Red and Green
Â
When you think of the holiday season, what colors come to mind? Green and red of course! Simply steer clear of these colors and you will be on your way to achieving your goal. Novelty neckties that are predominantly blue, silver, gold, black or white in color abound, often with no mention of the two most typical colors associated with Christmas. A black and white tie of snowflakes is a good example. If you wish, you can combine either red or green but not both with one of the aforementioned colors for a more festive touch.
Â
If you really like the colors red and green, try lighter or darker shades of the two, such as solid burgundy red or forest green neckwear. Or try a pink and light green striped tie. These neckties are in the same color family but don't look Christmassy.
Â
Stay Clear of Gimmicky Neckwear
Â
You don't want to look like a Christmas tree? Don't want people to notice you? Then don't wear ties which blink or play a medley of music.
 Â
Pass On Certain Novelty Neckties
Â
Some themes are typically associated with the holidays. This includes neckwear depicting Santa Claus, reindeer, Christmas trees, tree lights, ornaments, a snowman, stockings, bells, and candy canes. Also avoid ties covered with words and phrases such as "Merry Christmas", "Happy Holidays", "Ho Ho Ho" and "Happy New Year".
Â
Instead opt for those things often found during the winter months but which are not directly associated with any year end holiday such as penguins, candles, snowflakes, skiing, skating and sledding scenes, as well as floral favorites depicting holly and poinsettias. An added bonus to choosing less overt themes is your ability to wear these neckties past December!
Choose Small Repeating Patterns
Â
If you really want to wear more typical holiday novelty themed neckwear, choose a diminutive design which makes it is hard for another person to distinguish what is depicted even from only a few feet away. Think about it. If you don't want to look like a friend or colleague who is wearing a tie of Santa Claus so large that you can make it out from clear across the room, go for tiny repetitive patterns. For example, a little green Xmas tree repeat on a navy blue necktie both keeps the Christmas colors to a minimum and looks like a typical patterned tie from afar.
Â
Try Patterns and Designs
Â
Find neckwear with mixes red or green with another color, say silver, gold, black or white; pick your favorite pattern and go! You will have achieved the desired look. A good example is a green and white striped tie, which can actually be worn year round.
Â
In Conclusion
Â
These are the best ways I know of for a person to enjoy a festive accessory without drawing attention to the fact they are in fact wearing a Christmas necktie! The name of the game is going subtle. Why not give these suggestions a try?!
