Is there an Express near your area? They sell some pretty affordable ties in pretty bright & loud colors

I hear ya on the money thing, but there's always a better way. Look at outlet malls and go when there are sales on - you can get sexy looking clothes at 50-70%, sometimes 90% off the original outlet pricing.

I've bought $1000 worth of classy clothing for $300 from outlet malls. Be smart about it. I've spent a lot of money on clothes I don't need/change my mind about and never wear.

My rule now is that I only buy things that I know I have to get - when I get that feeling of "I would look too fucking sexy with this on ;) "

You could even try clothes on at the store, take a pic, and post it on the forum to get our thoughts before you buy them.

Oh, and if the outlet mall is two-three hours away, make a day trip out of it - open sets and be social while you're there.

For more ideas of style that fit you best, could look online for men's style, or flip through magazine stand at grocery store, snap photos of styles you like. I like stuff from GQ myself, though everyone is different.

Could google celebrities that you think has sex appeal and see what they're wearing. Make sure it fits and expresses you.

Would recommend you do this to have an idea of what the latest trend is, versus picking single articles of clothing at random. Pick a style that works for you when you go out.

Amazon. Seriously. Subscribe to the MYHABIT thing there - a lot of it is trash, and you need to have a sense of style I think - But I've seen some good looking stuff on there for cheaper. Designer labels too if that's your thing. I.E. awesome tie for 40 bucks, or 40% off some mark nasons or something. Affordable. Speaking of which - I need to make a style thread.

i like the business look bro. If i would choose a tie to wear, I would recommend the skinny ties they sell at Express(REALLY FOR ME, HANDS DOWN THE BEST PLACE TO BUY BUTTON UPS AND TIES)clothing store. Do you wear matching slacks or jeans? I would recommend the jeans, gives more of a retro laid back look with style. -JB
