Seriously though, you can find ’em all over the place, used, new, whatever. People are *selling* this stuff. And then you got the official Versace site, VERSACE US, just throwing out the “SALE UP TO 50% OFF!” thing. Like, okay Versace, calm down. We get it, you’re fancy.
But the vintage ones, the *real* vintage ones? That’s where it’s at, I think. Like, you’re not just buying a tie; you’re buying a piece of history, maybe even something Donatella wore… jk jk… maybe.
Look, I’m not a tie guy, usually. I’m more of a “t-shirt and hope for the best” kinda dude. But I gotta admit, a black Versace tie? Paired with a crisp white shirt? That’s… powerful. Makes you look like you know things. Dangerous things. Or at least, that you’re about to order a really, *really* expensive cocktail.
And the whole Baroque and Art Nouveau thing? It’s just so extra. So OTT. So Versace. It’s not subtle. It’s in-your-face opulence. It’s telling everyone, “Yeah, I’m wearing a Versace tie. Whatcha gonna do about it?”
I’m honestly thinking about getting one. Maybe for a wedding? Or… maybe just to wear to the grocery store. You know, just to see the looks I get.
The “Pre-Order” thing on the Versace site is kinda sus, though. Like, am I gonna get it or not? It’s like gambling, but with significantly more sartorial risk. You know?
Anyway, yeah, Versace black ties. They’re iconic. They’re expensive. They’re probably totally impractical. But damn, they’re cool.
