Those who are firm on reflecting the green trait of their personality without trying too hard can rest here. Christened as Solar Powered Necktie, it brings exclusivity to your way of going green. Besides capturing solar power, it makes successful efforts to position you as geek.
Credit for this goes to the team of braniacs at Iowa State University for designing such an elite creation by using newly urbanized solar fabrics. The minuscule solar panels are laid out in a gridiron that offers it a tacky appeal. It also features a pocket sewn on its back that enables the contrivance to suck valued juice like a sponge without coming in notice of anyone. The technology involved can only end with a living symbiote tie that throttles you dead, thus portraying it like an unswerving suicide.
Also, your routine worry of carrying charger for charging your gadgets can find a solution here as the Solar Powered Necktie features a concealed pouch for lodging your mobile phone and powering it via sun power. With low plans for marketing it, the gadget tie is targeted towards professionals who wish to keep their devices.

This space pays tribute to all random opulent thingamajigs and taking a customary call on this, today we would like to introduce you with the world’s most expensive necktie that got unveiled in 2003. No, the news is not stale as it has made up to the headlines with the recent update. Designed by Satya Paul and the Suashish Diamond Group, the silk base of the tie carried by Salman Khan comes festooned with 261 diamonds weighing 77 carats and 150 grams of gold and was valued at Rs1 crore in 2003. Lately, a revision in its cost has happened and it is being discovered that the cost of the necktie has now risen to Rs10 million or $220,000. Gawd, I wonder if ordinary folks besides celebrities and industry moguls can afford to buy one or would they find themselves restricted to window shopping? Well, if you ask me then spending this many such creations may seem a routine for people with big pockets but I would like to go with a plain silk tie with a diamond chip layering or gold lining.
