Silk is the most traditional and popular fabric for ties due to its luxurious texture and high sheen. Silk ties symbolize elegance and are often associated with formal attire. Their smooth finish and vibrant patterns are particularly favored for business and ceremonial events.

Silk chiffon: Light and airy, suitable for spring and summer seasons, creating a refreshing and dynamic visual effect Silk habotai: Silk habotai has a dense, light texture and a flat, smooth surface with good drape.

Pros: 

• Luxurious Feel: Silk ties offer a smooth, soft texture that is comfortable to wear and pleasant to touch.
• High Sheen: The natural luster of silk enhances the tie’s color and makes its design pop, ideal for making a bold statement.
