The Sharp and Practical iTie is Business Wear of the Future

— October 21, 2009 — Fashion
Endorsed by the now deceased Billy Mays, the sharp and practical iTie is the practical answer to frustrated business men all over the world who have had to deal with their ties falling out of their suits or catching the wind and flying over their shoulders.

"I have purchased 4 iTies for my husband who loves to wear ties every day but hates having to deal with them getting in his way and always being out of place," one testament says. "He loves to show the iTie off at the office and to his friends." Who wouldn't want a sharp and practical iTie with a statement like that?

The sharp and practical iTie also features a built in pocket on the reverse side which is perfect for storing everything from business cards to BlackBerry smartphones.
Trend Themes
1. Multi-task Business Wear - Opportunity for developing more wearable and practical business attire with built-in pockets to store smartphones, contact cards and other essential business requirements.
2. Smart Clothing - A new wave of innovation in clothing with in-built technology that serves a practical purpose, such as the iTie's pocket for storing smartphones and other devices.
3. Fashion-forward Functionality - The emergence of fashion-forward buys that are also functional, such as the iTie's anti-flap design and built-in pockets that offer practicality and style.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can incorporate practical designs into their clothing to offer something unique and functional to their customers.
2. Technology - Integrating small technology components into clothing for practical purposes such as pockets, charging devices or lightweight sensors can be a valuable area for innovation.
3. Business Services - Business service providers can introduce business wear with practical designs such as iTie with storage pockets, useful for carrying essential products needed for on-the-go business solutions.
