I wanted something bright and happy to cheer up this Monday. I think this tie was homemade, it's quite a light fabric and no interfacing was used. I feel like it looks a bit like something a clown would wear. 👔

Today's tie is what happens when Paisley meets diseased.

Sometimes I want #badtiemonday to be pretty, but I don't always get what I want!

There's a lot going on with this one
A tie. It's bad. If you can't see it, it's probably for the best

Stripes, but in two directions and also fading boxes. #badtiemonday 👔
A woman wears a wide brown tie with a bright blue diagonal stripe and then stripes made of faded boxes. The other direction has a satin stripe too.

Flowers or mould? You be the judge

Just like last week, this week's #badtiemonday features uneven stripes. I particularly like / loath the black wiggles in the widest stripe.

🎀👔
A woman wears a pink shirt with a tie as described in the text. Some of the stripes are the exact same shade of pink as the shirt.

The stripes on this make me feel slightly I'll. We can talk about the width later.
A woman wears a wide tie. The tie has diagonal stripes, thin red, thick in white, light grey and dark grey.

This feels like the designer's manager said "make a tie with stripes" and the designer thought 'I hate my job'.

A woman wearing a tie with a variety of diagonal stripes. It looks bad in the photo and worse in real life.

When the cost of living goes up, the width of ties comes down.
NZ must be really proud of this one

A man's torso wearing a very thin tie. Mostly grey with some diagonal stripes Close up of the top of the bad tie The only label on the tie proudly states "MADE IN N.Z"

There is something about the colouring of this tie that puts me in mind of the 80s. The optical illusions if you stare too long just top it off

#badtiemonday
Torso of a man wearing a tie with uneven diagonal squares. Some mostly block colours, others with arrow lines of various thickness. It's best if you don't look at it for too long A close up on the top of the tie And now the bottom of the tie. This really shows off the disturbing patterning of this bad tie

Blue or gold? Circles or stars? Who knows anything anymore? #badtiemonday
The torso of a woman wearing a tie. It has geometric gold circles and blue stars that alternate as an optical illusion.

The torso f a woman wearing a tie. The tie has a purple background and is covered in multicoloured lion heads. The effect is odd.

This tie looks like one of those Magic Eye puzzles that I could never see. Maybe if l squint harder?
#badtiemonday #workwear
The torso of a woman wearing a bad tie with a silver and grey geometric background and red and blue shapes. All of the geometry looks slightly off kilter.

Happy Anniversary! It's been roughly 15 years since Bad Tie Monday posted its first awful ties to the world. That's a lot of bad ties.
It's enough to give you an optical migraine - which is exactly what today's tie looks like!

See the last image for some of the earliest bad ties from the first day
Torso of a man wearing an orange tie with flashy yellow zig zags. Or is it a yellow tie with orange zig zags? Either way, it's a bad tie. Close up of the top of the tie . A collage of bad ties. It's probably for the best if you can't see them.

I just don't know if there is enough Paisley on this tie, you know?

#badtiemonday
Torso wearing a rumpled necktie that has Paisley on it. Like, a LOT of Paisley. They've really just jammed them in there Close up of the bad tie. It is mostly Paisley

It's almost restrained but what are those circlely bits doing?

#badtiemonday
Torso wearing a business shirt and a tie. It's not a good tie. There's diagonal stripes, and weird circles. Also a large account of brown just at the top. Is it a bad tie? You be the judge Close up of the top of the tie. What is with the round bit bulging out of the top stripe? Close up of the middle of the bad tie. Why are there curved lines there but nowhere else!

For this week's Bad Tie Monday I present a brown tie with two different personalities, and they are both bad.
The torso of a woman wearing a brown tie. The left side of the tie had different shades of brown, diagonal stripes. The right hand side is plain brown. The effect is odd.
