Tie Try, a tie rental service, is the latest of style subscriptions to hit the market.

By Jonathan Bender

The essential part of tying together your morning routine to enter corporate America is about to plunge into the realm of style rentals. After sitting through an episode of ABC’s Shark Tank (for which I’ll forgive him), Scott Tindle and his partner David Powers hit a creative streak which soon turned into Tie Try, a subscription rental service for neckwear.



“The same way a kid doesn’t want to play with the same toy all the time, a man doesn’t want to wear the same tie,” Tindle shares.

The market Tindle and Powers are sure to break new ground with is the wedding circuit. Marrying the idea of style with subscription, where it has already begun with Tie Society , could very well help aid the problem of “what do I wear?” to a friend’s wedding, as well as cut down costs for the wedding party with designer offerings from Dior, Lanvin and more.

Following in the footsteps of the iconic red-enveloped DVD subscription service, customers pay for an account that entitles him or her one to five ties from Tie Try’s virtual rack at a time, keeping them as long as desired. Once they mail it back, the next in queue is shipped.

As weddings are the only surefire static entity in our economic climate, it’s not a bad idea to dive into this style saver that’s cost efficient and aids your indecision. Save the commitment for the altar, I say.
