Petal-Patterned Neckties

Good Heavens Neckties are Delicate and Dapper

— June 30, 2011 — Fashion
Before I'd seen these Good Heavens Neckties, I'd never had such a desire to wear a tie in my life.

These terrific ties are anything but traditional. They are still cut in the well-known tie shape, and are definitely still suitable for professional work environments. However, the nice feature these nifty neckties have is playful patterns. Good Heavens neckties come in a variety of versions, ranging from blossom speckled ties to wallpaper-patterned ones.

These snazzy suit-toppers are definitely unisex and would be ideal for both casual and formal events.

Implications - Consumers are straying from crowd-conforming styles and are instead opting to express their individual styles. They see products that boast unique designs, enabling them to portray their values to their peers. Companies should cater to these expressive consumers by manufacturing products in a variety of versions with different patterns or designs.
Trend Themes
1. Expressive Designs - Companies should cater to consumers who seek products with unique patterns or designs to express their individual styles.
2. Unisex Fashion - The demand for gender-neutral fashion is rising, presenting opportunities for companies to create products that are suitable for both men and women.
3. Playful Professionalism - Consumers are looking for professional attire with playful patterns, creating a market for companies to produce neckties that are suitable for both casual and formal events.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion companies can innovate by incorporating unique patterns and designs into their products to cater to the demand for expressive fashion.
2. Apparel - Apparel companies can capitalize on the rising trend of unisex fashion by creating gender-neutral clothing items.
3. Accessories - Companies specializing in accessories, such as neckties, have an opportunity to create products that offer a balance between professional and playful styles.
