The light-up tie is literally one of the flashiest ties around. This quirky tie was created by Etsy merchant ElectricStyles and features colorful lights on the border of the tie. The ties come in three different colors and have two modes, a normal mode where the lights are merely on and one where the lights actually blink.
In addition to light-up ties, ElectricStyles also offers other lighted fashions such as light-up bras and blazers. (Yes, a bra covered in colorful wire is as awesome as it sounds). While this tie is a little too silly to be warn in any sort of a professional setting, it would be great at a rave or at a party. The ties are all handmade and sell for $29.97. They're available now from ElectricStyles' Etsy store.
