Description
- The present disclosure relates generally to neckties. In particular, selectively interchangeable neckties and necktie systems are described.
- Known neckties are not entirely satisfactory for the range of applications in which they are employed. For example, existing neckties are configured in single patterns. Existing neckties are purchased by users based on a pre-determined pattern that is not adaptable to future wardrobe needs. Evolving wardrobes require users to update the pattern of existing neckties with additional purchases of newer neckties with different patterns.
- In addition, conventional neckties are confined to pre-determined colors. Users of conventional neckties are required to purchase multiple neckties to accommodate different shirt colors and patterns. Often, a given conventional necktie is only suitable in combination with a single shirt; purchasing conventional neckties to match each shirt can be prohibitively expensive.
- Moreover, even when adjustable, conventional neckties are limited to pre-determined colors, patterns, or materials. Conventional neckties lack adaptability, and users of conventional neckties may be forced to accumulate multiple conventional neckties to accommodate styling needs.
- Thus, there exists a need for neckties that improve upon and advance the design of known neckties. Examples of new and useful selectively interchangeable neckties and necktie systems relevant to the needs existing in the field are discussed below.
- The present disclosure is directed to interchangeable necktie systems including a bow member, a strap configured to retain the bow member proximate a user's neck, and a binder configured to selectively bind the bow member to the strap. In some examples, the selectively interchangeable necktie systems include a plurality of bow members. In some further examples, selectively interchangeable neckties include bow members, straps, and binders with different complimentary or contrasting colors, patterns, and materials.
