We know, we know—we’ve been ringing the bell about ties being back for years now. We first noticed the necktie resurgence right here at the GQ office (a place, as my colleague Samuel Hine wrote a while back, that was “once arguably the global epicenter of casual tie-wearing”), and have since seen it flourish in Hollywood, on the runway, and even among the new political elite. A once-ubiquitous accessory of yesteryear cast off by the powers that be, only to be picked back up by stylish, vernacular-dressing youngsters. You love to see it.

But it is nevertheless a thrill to see a trend in practice, and ties have been on full display on the ground at men’s fashion week in Milan and Paris. Showgoers and VIPs at Dior and Louis Vuitton, for example, wore their neckties knotted beneath leather jackets, double-breasted suits, and at least one sweater vest, which proves that, when it comes to styling here, the only limit is your own imagination.
