Tie

A striped tie in navy, blue and red, made from smooth polyester that keeps its shape through a full day. It's a straightforward finishing piece for men who wear a shirt to work, to weddings or to more formal evenings out.

Most ties either fade into the shirt or shout too loud. The navy base here does the steady work, the blue adds depth, and the red stripe gives it a bit of character without taking over. The result is a classic striped look that reads sharp against both plain and patterned shirts.

How to wear it

• With a white or light blue shirt and a navy or dark grey suit for meetings
• With a plain shirt in a matching tone for weddings and celebrations
• With an Oxford shirt and chinos or Performance Pants for a business casual turn

The polyester weave stays smooth, so it looks presentable even after a long day on the move.
