A hanger for neckties is a useful accessory for the man who has an extensive tie collection. Hangers made specially for containing your ties have several benefits, while not taking up a lot of space. See what necktie hangers can do for you, or consider giving one as a gift.
Benefits of Necktie Hangers
If you've never thought about how a hanger for neckties can make your life - and getting dressed in the morning - simpler, consider these benefits:
- Organization: The last thing you want to do if you're in a hurry is to hunt around for your favorite tie. Having a special place to keep your ties, where they're all visible, is a smart way to avoid this morning search. Instead of looking everywhere, you have all your neckties neatly kept in the same place.
- Cleanliness: By hanging and securing your ties, they're kept cleaner by not ending up on the floor. Most hangers will keep your ties separate and not bunched up against each other, so they can air out. When you've spent a lot of money on a designer tie, you don't want it crumpled in a pile of clothes.
- Longevity: Keeping your neckties clean helps them to last longer as well. The best way to hang your ties when you remove them is to undo the knot, straighten them out and then hang. By draping them this way, you'll get more life out of your ties rather than pulling them over your head, knot still in place, when you undress.
- Space saving: A hanger is a great way to save space, which is important if you live in a small apartment or have a tiny closet. Since many of them hang on your existing closet bar, they take up as much space as hanging a shirt or slacks there.
How to Use It
For the man who wants even more organization for his ties, you can always organize how you place them on the hanger. You can arrange your ties by:
- Color
- Fabric
Types of Hangers
There are several different types of necktie hangers. Some are very basic and inexpensive, while others are more high-tech.
- Basic hanger: These look like regular hangers, but have notches or bars on them to drape your ties over. If you have a lot of neckties, choose a hanger that has notches on both sides; you'll get more storage this way.
- Round: A circular hanger won't give you the same ultra-organization as a basic or ladder type, so this is better suited for the man who doesn't own a large number of ties. You can also slip belt buckles onto this type of hanger, but you might consider having separate round hangers for your belts and ties.
- Ladder: This type of hanger typically has a bar straight down the middle with bars coming out of either side. Your ties will overlap on this type of hanger, but keeping one tie per bar will keep it neater.
- Electronic: For the guy who wants the hanger to do all the work, there are electronic versions that you can mount right onto the wall (saving even more closet bar space). When you're looking for a necktie to wear, the electronic hanger revolves your collection around until you find the one you want.
Buying Hangers for Neckties
Perhaps you've decided you need one of these tie hangers or you'd like to buy one as a gift for someone you know. This is a smart, inexpensive investment if wearing a necktie is part of your office dress code. Most menswear shops sell them in the same area they sell ties. Look into these online retailers for more options:
Pricing
This is one of those men's accessories that you can buy cheap or spend top dollar on. Even the high-end hangers won't set you back more than $50.00 so this is an affordable gift, even if you're giving it to yourself.
Easier Mornings
You don't have to be the most organized guy to appreciate what a necktie hanger can do for your morning routine. Not only will you avoid a frantic search, but your ties will likely last longer, too.
