Does your collection of neckwear feel a bit one-dimensional? A standard smooth tie is a staple, but a truly versatile wardrobe needs texture to add depth and character. This is where the men's knit tie offers a sophisticated solution.

A common question is, "Are knit ties still in fashion?" Absolutely. As a staple popular throughout the Golden Age of Menswear, the knit tie has proven its timeless appeal. Its unique construction allows it to bridge the gap between casual charm and formal elegance.

So, are knit ties less formal than their smooth counterparts? Yes, slightly—and that is their greatest strength. This versatility makes them the perfect accessory for navigating modern dress codes with polished finesse.

"Do I need a knit tie?" If you want a single accessory that lends character to almost any tailored look, the answer is yes. Pairing a knit tie with suit combinations creates a subtle interplay of light and shadow, while wearing one with a blazer offers a nod to sartorial flair. The inherent knit tie pattern—the texture itself—complements other patterns without clashing.

At Fort Belvedere, we believe in exceptional craftsmanship. That’s why each of our knit ties is handmade in Germany from the finest Swiss silk and meticulously hand-finished. This dedication to quality ensures a tie that not only looks distinctive but drapes beautifully.

Explore our wide selection of versatile, solid-color knit ties and discover the perfect piece to add refined texture to your collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a knit tie?

    A knit tie is a silk neck tie made on knitting machines instead of traditional looms, which gives the surface a textured look and a softer drape.

  • Do I need a knit tie?

    If you want one accessory that instantly adds depth to suits, blazers, and casual tailoring, a knit tie is a practical addition.

  • Are knit ties less formal than smooth silk ties?

    Slightly, but they are still appropriate for most offices, weddings that do not require evening wear, and dressy daytime events.

  • How long should my tie be?

    The tip of your tie should end at the middle of your belt buckle for a balanced look. For a complete overview, see our guide on achieving the proper and correct tie length.

  • How to tie a knit tie?

    Use a Four-in-Hand so the knot stays compact and balanced. Set a clean dimple, and aim for the blade tip to reach the center of your belt buckle.

    Yes. A knit tie with suit combinations works well in business settings and adds texture to seasonal cloths like flannel and tweed.
