Mens ties have been worn as part of the formal attire or 'business clothes' for decades. Back in those days, because the men's business wears were rather conservative, their ties became the only piece of clothing in which the men can express their individuality. Hence a lot of creativity was poured onto the design of ties. While mens ties are still an integral part of the formal wear today, they have also evolved with the current rules of fashion. Men are no longer restricted to the typical black tie anymore.
Neckties are worn to most formal functions these days, as they do display a sense of formality, elegance and respect to the host. The Skinny Satin Solid Neck Tie would be a safe bet to wear to any black tie event. It can easily match the standard tuxedos as well as other black suits. That aside, you can use the tie for other purposes just as well, like going to work or just as part of the casual wear matched with a simple shirt and a pair of jeans. Nothing can go wrong with a solid color necktie.

Or, you could spice things up with Fenn Plum Satin Stripe Black Label Tie. The material is made of satin and has a contemporary design that looks great with a classic, slim fit or black label formal shirt. Also, like any other multi-colored and patterned ties, this one accentuates individuality, mood and taste so you'd definitely stand out in the crowd!
Tartan ties can be used as part of a formal or casual wear. Most of the times, tartan is associated with Scotland so this is good news for proud Scottish who would like to display their pride but without wearing the kilt (not always the best choice in formal meetings or casual outings). The Royal Stewart Tartan Tie comes to mind as the official tartan of His Majesty's own regiment. Its vivid color makes it a must-have as festive choice. These tartan ties also come with various styles and sizes so you can pick one that suits you best.
For those of you who want to show off your style and personality, you might want to check out the Paisley Ties.

Their patterns are designed with such intricate droplet-shaped vegetal motif and detailed miniatures that only the ones with an eye for art can truly appreciate them. To add a touch of elegance to it, head over to the Paisley Silk Neckties.
If your dress codes aren't very strict, you could attempt to break the fashion tension at work (where men always wear the same type of tie everyday). Flaunt your support to your favourite team with the sports-themed ties that are available here. They are not very fancy and from afar, they simply look like a typical patterned tie.
Unless you are attending a black tie event or meeting a client or your superior, it doesn't hurt to play around with the different patterns of neckties out there. There is always going to be a time where you can wear that boring black tie. For other times? Spice it up with something unusual.
