Tie

A white and blue striped tie in smooth polyester, cut for men who want a bit of pattern without stealing the show. The clean contrast between the white and the blue gives you an interesting stripe that stays easy to read, and polyester keeps the surface smooth with a light sheen.

If you own a wardrobe of plain white and light blue shirts, this is the piece that adds character to an otherwise straight setup. The stripe reads clearly against a plain shirt without shouting.

Wear it with a white or light blue shirt under a navy or charcoal suit for meetings and formal days, or loosen the collar under a blazer with chinos for something more relaxed. It also holds its own at weddings and other events with both light and dark suits.

Not for you if you prefer a solid, single-colour tie.
