Tie

A tie in a black and blue military-inspired pattern, made from smooth polyester for men who want an accessory with a bit of edge. The dark base keeps it wearable, while the blue print gives it character against a plain shirt.

Most ties play it safe. This one carries a distinct pattern that stands out against a white or light blue shirt without shouting, so you look like you thought about the details.

Wear it with a navy, dark grey or black suit for meetings, weddings or conferences. It also works dressed down with an open blazer and chinos when you want something sharper than an open collar.

Not for you if you prefer a plain, single-colour tie that stays in the background.
