wide tie

Fat necktie style

A wide tie is a necktie with a broad blade, typically three inches or more across.

Tie widths follow fashion cycles—wide ties dominated the 1970s, narrowed in the 1980s and 1990s, then widened again.

A wide tie generally pairs best with wide lapels: He looked like a throwback in his wide tie and brown suit.
