I'm in kilted formalwear several times monthly. Over years, I've witnessed wedding fashions as they come & go, so it's in my best interest to present myself in a fashionable manner to my clients. Nothing trendy mind you, but within current fashion taste.

The ruche tie is a recent introduction to the scene and I've availed myself to it. I'm seeing bridegroom & groomsmen wearing similar neckties so it seems natural for me to match closely as practical. Nothing but compliments from those in attendance.

The final choice is that of the consumer. It wasn't long ago that banded collars with button covers were the rage, now they've all but disappeared. Eventually the ruche tie shall fall from favor as well.

Slainte yall,
