Tie

An orange tie in smooth 100% polyester, cut for men who want one clear point of colour against a plain shirt and suit. The polyester takes a full, tidy knot and keeps its shade wash after wash.

Most of a tie's job is contrast. Against a crisp white shirt and a navy or charcoal suit, the orange does the work while everything else stays quiet, which is exactly how a bright tie should be worn.

How to wear it

• With a white or light blue shirt under a navy, charcoal or black suit for weddings, receptions and other occasions where you want to stand out a little.
• Smart casual: over a plain shirt with a crew or V-neck knit and chinos, keeping the rest of the outfit muted so the colour leads.

Not for you if you prefer a tie that blends in; orange is meant to be noticed.
