"Hi! I’m Gerald from King Tux Formal Wear in Santa Barbara and we’re talking about our formal wear. I’m just going to talk a little bit about ties, the different looks and what’s very popular today. The most popular tie at the moment is the foreign hand tie, it’s a classic tie that you normally would wear with a suit but it is remaining very popular, it has moved away from the regular bowtie which is a very traditional look with the matching cummerbund but it is very popular it’s a very classic look and we find that some people still like to wear it, never ages. We do have the ascot of course that goes with the cutaway which is a very traditional European look and we find that is very popular here in Santa Barbara, we have moved on to which now is becoming a very high fashion look and we’re finding that a lot of grooms are looking for this. Also we do have the self tie which we find people like to do and they can move their bowtie to what size and look they want and of course we still have the clip on our old reliable clip on tie."
