Here's a quick comparison of width when it comes to ties:
Personally, I like the look of narrow ties for a more "professional" look, and a skinny tie if it's for a social event, like a wedding or party.
Like others have said, find silk, and then basically look for a design you want for an amount you're willing to pay. I recently went to Moore's as they were having their 50% Winter Sale, and got a nice silk CK tie for about 40$.

I thought wearing a wide tie makes you look like wearing your dad's ?  |
Like he said, it depends on your suit cut. If you're wearing a suit with very trim(narrow) lapels, don't wear a wide tie, it'll clash and make you look bad. Same thing in the opposite direction; if you're wearing a traditional or wider lapel, don't go for a skinny tie. It makes you look fatter as the tie seems shrunken compared to your body/suit lines.
