Luxury Neckties: These 20 Expensive Tie Brands Will Lend Interest to Your Outfits in 2023

If you are looking to stand out, discover 20 luxury brands selling the very best expensive neckties to lend interest to your outfit.

Luxury neckties versus affordable ties

Men’s ties provide an important final touch for a suit. A man’s necktie is one of the very few places to convey some individuality.

While there are plenty of stylish menswear companies like Tie Bar and Charles Tyrwhitt that offer some of the best affordable neckties, if you can swing it, the luxury brands below provide some of the absolute best quality on the planet backed by houses like Ferragamo and Zegna.

Chart: How Much Luxury Neckties Cost

Before diving into individual brands, here is a quick comparison of the most expensive neckties from luxury labels.

Price doesn’t tell the whole story. Here is a deeper dive into the best places to buy (expensive) luxury neckties, and what differentiates one brand from another.

Drakes

Drakes is one of my favorite options for luxury neckties for men.

I love the sheer variety of Drake’s luxury ties, which run the gamut from quirky patterned ties, traditional striped ties, simple plain neckwear and occasionally-bold jumbo dot ties to square-tipped knitted ties and luxurious grenadine, cashmere, Shantung and Tussah neckties.

While the luxury brand doesn’t command the same lengthy history of the bespoke tailoring houses around the corner on Savile Row, Drake’s has a well-deserved reputation for quality and originality.

Michael Drake founded the company in 1977, which produces its handmade ties in London’s East End. I love popping into Drake’s shop on Clifford Street when I’m in London to look at their gorgeous neckties.

Michael Hill, who now leads Drake’s Creative Director, suggests that “we make things that people can and will want to wear, for years and years to come.”

What is the width of Drake’s ties?

Drake’s standard tie width is 8 cm or approximately 3.15 inches, though they have also made slimmer ties.

How much do Drake’s ties cost?

At a range of $165-$225, Drake’s luxury ties are expensive, but not as costly as other high-end brands on this list.

Where to buy Drakes ties

Purchase Drake’s neckties:

• Directly from Drake’s website;
• via Todd Snyder New York (one of my favorite menswear stores); or
• from Supply and Advise.

Kiton

With roots dating back to 1956, luxury fashion label Kiton was co-founded by Ciro Paone and Antonio Carola. The Italy-based luxury brand advertises that its expensive neckties are “forms of origami,” produced in Naples using the seven folds technique with a history in Neapolitan tailoring. I adore the bright colors that often characterize Kiton’s neckties.

How much do Kiton neckties cost?

Kiton neckties generally cost around $300, though may be found at a discount from retailers including Farfetch.

How wide are Kiton ties?

At 3.4 inches to 3.5 inches in width, Kiton’s neckties tend to be fairly wide.

Where to buy Kiton neckties

Shop Kiton neckties at:

• Farfetch’s Kiton tie shop;
• Saks Fifth Avenue Kiton page,
• Neiman Marcus’ Kiton shop, and
• Yoox’s Kiton store

Salvatore Ferragamo

Salvatore Ferragamo founded his eponymous company in 1927. The Italian house has evolved to produce a wide array of luxury goods for men and women.

Salvatore Ferragamo’s neckties tend to stand out for their bright colors and novelty designs. (Writing this article, there are ties on the Ferragamo website adorned with seal, turtle, soccer, puppies, teddy bears, golf clubs, elephants and whales.)

Yet it’s not all farm animals and sports equipment. One of my favorite ties of all time is a plain navy blue woven tie, about 2.75 inches long, which I scored from the sale rack at Bloomingdales when I was in grad school.

It has a bit of texture and just cinches up right every time, with one dimple exactly where it should be, which, to me, is a sign of a well-designed, properly-lined necktie.

How much do Salvatore Ferragamo neckties cost?

As of this writing, all of the luxury ties on the Salvatore Ferragamo website cost $190. I’ve found Salvatore Ferragamo ties on a variety of other websites for anywhere from $174 to $198 retail, and for as low as $95 on sale at sites including Farfetch, Bloomingdales, and Off Saks.

What is the width of Salvatore Ferragamo ties?

Salvatore Ferragamo neckties are generally 3 inches or 3.25 inches wide, though I have found slimmer Ferragamo neckties of approximately 2.75 inches in the past.

Where to buy Salvatore Ferragamo neckties

You can find a range of Salvatore Ferragamo ties at:

• The Salvatore Ferragamo website, which seems to have the largest selection of Ferragamo ties around;

Tom Ford

Fashion designer Tom Ford cut his teeth as the creative director of both Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci, where he is credited with reviving the fortunes of the Italian luxury house, before launching his own highly-regarded menswear line in 2005.

Ford makes a variety of traditional neckties, square-tipped knitted ties and pre-tied bow ties. Unlike Ferragamo and Kiton, Ford tends towards more muted colors and patterns. Tom Ford is also a fantastic place to find luxury designer slippers for men, some of the most expensive shoes for men around, and ultra-stylish sunglasses for men.

Louis Vuitton also makes a small range of neckties and pocket squares for men, many of which also feature the LV monogram or Daimier checkerboard. (Many of Louis Vuitton’s neckties which incorporate the LV monogram do so subtly.)

How much do Louis Vuitton ties cost?

Most Louis Vuitton neckties cost $220 via the luxury brand’s website. Several of its ties cost more, including a $455 Daimier necktie that features a slight gold sheen thanks to 24-carat gold thread incorporated into the weave of the tie’s fabric.

Meizler told Elva Ramirez of the Wall Street Journal that,

the tie is the one area where the man can be more experimental. You have your jacket, you have your pants, whereas women can really go off creatively. These art pieces are like architectural jewelry made for the guy who will push the envelope a little bit.

Thom Browne

Thom Browne pushes the envelope of fashion for men and women. Best known for his cropped men’s suits, which feature shorter sleeves and jacket and trouser lengths, his designs skew towards a younger, hipper demographic than many other luxury brands.

While he first made his mark in menswear, departing Club Monaco to start his own brand and landing a high-profile partnership with Brooks Brothers, his womenswear line received a huge boost when First Lady Michelle Obama commissioned a custom dress for President Obama’s second inauguration.

Business of Fashion observes that Browne’s “stunted male silhouette and his otherworldly creations for women have placed him at the vanguard of New York’s fashion scene.” Thom Browne’s neckties are similarly fashion-forward, and skinnier than most other luxury brands on this list.

Thom Browne’s ties cost between $170-$390 at the Thom Browne website, and can occasionally be found on sale via e-commerce platforms like Ssense and Fwrd.

Since then, Sebastian Cruz Couture has branched out to design handmade dinner jackets, wedding jackets, shoes, pocket squares, and some extremely bold neckties.
