Tie

A navy tie in polyester with a smooth surface and a deep, even colour that pairs cleanly with a white shirt or something more patterned. It knots easily and holds its shape through the day, so it works for men at the office as well as for weddings and other formal occasions.

The pull here is versatility: the saturated navy stays sharp against most shirt colours, which is why it earns its place as a go-to rather than a one-occasion piece.

How to wear it

Wear it with a crisp shirt and a well-fitted suit for a straightforward business look, or loosen things up with a blazer for a smart-casual feel.
