Follow the development of this manly fashion, from fabrics to tie care, and enjoy an astounding kaleidoscope of colors and motifs. The designs range from the incredible Bold Look ties of the late 1940s and early 1950s to the thinly conservative ties of the late 1950s. Take a look at the wild, bold, colorful, and naughty designs that have swelled men's chests throughout necktie history. Finally, take a tour of the stylistic progression ties made through the 1980s and 1990s.. Hundreds of neck and bow ties from the late twentieth century are displayed in 340 color pictures. The early 1960s produced mundane ties, but Pop, Op, and Psychedelic Art ushered in another era in the late 1960s and early 1970s called the Peacock Look, characterized by extremely wide ties and extravagantly wild prints
