If you were told that the most popular colour in mens’ ties this year
would be pink, you would probably think the fashion world had
gone crazy! The colour pink has become really popular within the last
few years with young men wearing pink just as much, if not more than women!

As a result, fashion retailers are manufacturing products such as shirts, ties, belts and braces in a variety of pink shades. To this end, we have a range of pinks including fuchsia, cerise and pale pink, ideal for weddings or dailywear. If your man wants to be right up there with celebrity fashions, they have to think pink!

So far, Fuchsia Pink has been the most popular colour in 2008, mainly for weddings, allowing bridesmaids to wear a pink dress, and the groomsmen a matching tie.

You can now be part of the pink revolution with a fantastic range of pink ties from Tie Warehouse. Enjoy being pretty in pink!

If you were around in the 80’s, you’ll have no problem remembering a Rubik’s Cube.

The Rubik’s Cube is still as popular today as it was in the 1980’s, with children (and adults) of all ages trying to solve the fascinating puzzle. We all remember the sweat and tears, all those hours wasted and becoming obsessed, yet still not solving it. This is just simply what made the 80’s fun!

No doubt some of you tried smashing them to change the pieces around, or painting over the colours so they would all match. I just wonder how many people actually managed to solve it without cheating? Those select few who did must have experienced a feeling of satisfaction we are all envious of.

Now you can relive those days with a fab pair of retro Rubik’s Cube cufflinks from Tie Warehouse. These will definitely take you back in time, and you won’t need to worry about becoming addicted and losing all that time again, because the cubes are fixed and cannot be moved! Hope you like them!

Sales of ties are being driven up in the UK because men are choosing to wear them rather than feeling they have to.

The UK’s leading online tie retailer TieWarehouse.co.uk reports its sales are up 20 per cent year-on-year.

Reports at the weekend suggested sales are up as worried workers smarten themselves up in the face of redundancies caused by the credit crunch.

But Tie Warehouse has found that the increased sales are down to people choosing to wear a tie as a fashion statement.

The website’s Gary Baker said: “We’ve always said the tie isn’t dead - it’s just moved from work wear to casual wear.

“There was a period a couple of years ago when dressing down in offices meant many traditional tie wearers stopped wearing them. But that trend has started reversing recently as many workers choose to look smarter. When wearing a tie is optional it becomes a personal statement.”

Tie Warehouse has also noticed a flurry of tie sales driven by celebrities and bands.

Skinny ties and square-end ties are especially popular at the moment.

Despite the increased sales, one side of the business does seem to be seeing the effects of a slowdown in the economy.

Customers are starting to choose cheaper versions of ties used for one off occasions, such as wedding cravats.

David Beckham has been named the UK’s best dressed celebrity dad for the third year running.

Becks won the Fathers Day poll run by the UK’s leading online tie retailer TieWarehouse.co.uk, picking up 41.2 % of votes cast.

Becks had a tough battle for the top spot with TV Personality Vernon Kay coming into the runner’s up position with 21% of votes cast.

And the lovable Richard Hammond came third in line with 9.2 % votes.

Poor Gordon Ramsey came last in the stakes, so perhaps its best to say he should just stay in the kitchen!

Tie Warehouse’s Gary Baker said: “Voting has been fierce this year but David still proves he is front in the fashion line of celebrity dads.

He added: “It would be interesting to run a poll next year to find out if Victoria Beckham is the best dressed celebrity mum!”

The full results are:

David Beckham 41.2%
Vernon Kay 21.0%
Richard Hammond 9.2%
Gavin Henson 5.0%
Andrew Flintoff 5.0%
Colin Farrell 5.0%

Peter Andre 3.4%
Steven Gerrard 3.4%

A UK Company is jumping to the rescue of Hungarian businessmen who face a scruffy future thanks to a tax on ties.

Under recent government proposals, Hungarian men will be hit with a new tax on their neckwear.

So the UK’s leading online tie retailer, Tie Warehouse, has promised to send a relief panel of ties to Hungarian businessmen in order to save them from scruffiness!

Gary Baker of Tie Warehouse, said: “The last thing I want to happen is for tie-wearers in Hungary to have their wallets as well as their collars being squeezed.

“There is no need for people to pay an added price just to look smart, that’s why Tie Warehouse will send a relief selection of ties to help tie free Hungarians during the tie-tax crisis.

He added, “I hope tie aid will save the men from becoming messy as I can imagine many will resent going to work or a special occasion dressed in full attire at additional cost.”

Tie Warehouse was set up in January 2004 and is based in Greenhithe, Kent.

There are more than 1,500 different designs and styles of ties and accessories in stock at any one time, with approximately 100 new products added every month.

If you thought ties were a dying a fashion (and you would be wrong by the way!), the Hungarian government would beg to differ. The minister of culture has apparently proposed a new tax on ties, claiming that as wearing a tie is a sign of culture, the culture ministry should benefit from it!

Well ok, what they’re really saying is that ties are designed by designers and design is art and art is culture, therefore… you get the idea, even if it is a little stretched.

One thing’s for sure, Gordon Brown may have been the king of stealth taxes, but even he never came up with taxing men’s neckwear!
