Built-in ties are the perfect 'middle ground' for parents who want their [little guy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frgmtmini) to be a little more presentable. Fat Tie makes these [cool T-shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/airknitx-tshirt) with sewn-on ties that are dressy enough for a [formal occasion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cold-tux-and-brrrtie) but comfortable as everyday wear too.
