How many ties do you own?

[Rusty Blade]

As I reflect on your responses to this thread, I am reminded how the humble tie can be such a cool style/fashion statement, either by its absence or how this thin strip of fabric can really dress up and change the mood of an outfit. And so many options from which to choose! Every imaginable colour and pattern. And I really enjoy the process of selecting a tie. "What tie shall I wear today?" And then once you choose the tie you have to decide on the right knot! Great fun.

Wearing also has the added benefit of giving swmbo something to disagree with you on. My wonderful wife & I have different tastes when it comes to the tie I'm wearing.

I have 14 ties which I hardly ever wear. Collecting dust mostly.

60ish. A vocational necessity. I’ve a good mix of colors and patterns. I prefer a rich paisley.

100 or so, all do to my wife, I wont complain, she has a good taste

I've purged a few times in reality the past. I'm guessing in the range of 50+
I usually rotate the same 4 or 5 I should do another purge

60+
work and professional obligations warrant it

Too many. I hardly ever wear one these days, but I'm well equipped should the need arise. Here's what I've cut down to ...

35 self tie neck ties
(used to be over 60)

11 clip on neck ties
(for near entanglement risks etc.)

12 self tie bow ties

3 pre-tied bow ties

2 pre tied cravats

1 - I retired and happily gave the rest to my son. I do miss suits and ties though.

About a couple of dozens here. From time to time I get rid of the ones I don't really wear.. Yet I buy a tie always I see one I like.

All of them are silk, in varied iterations and to my surprise they're getting increasingly dark coloured, navy being king...

Solid, polka dots, some paisley, geometrical motifs..

I like wearing a tie, and have been since I was 6 in school...

Too many. And yet somehow not enough.

I am not sure...but I am certain that I could use a few more seven fold ties!

I counted a few weeks ago (was trying to organize them) and I'm up to about 35 ties. I also have about 5 bow ties. In the clergy there are times when I need to be in a tie.

Decades since i've owned one, last time i can say for certain i wore one was as best man in a wedding in Sept., 19... 98, also played classical guitar for that so had to look the part.

Now, doubt i even own a shirt that a tie could be used with.

Assuming this is only straight ties..Around 30. Half of these are my dad’s since he stopped wearing them once he retired.

I also have 7-8 bow ties which I enjoy wearing to work every now and then..
