A New Kind of Knitwear for the Neck

A type of men's ties are making a comeback: Knitted and crochet ties. Maybe because I prefer the classic triangular shape, or slimmer looks, but I am not a fan of this trend. It's bulky and I think it might look quite odd to be wearing a fuzzy knitted tie around your neck. I can think of only a few ways to pull it off, and all looks involve only the tie peeking through from under a sweater or blazer, and so I am at a loss for this trend. I wouldn't recommend it.
How much is too much knit?
You can take a look at some of these styles by Thomas Pink or J. Crew
