Feel special with an added adornment. Ties are a fabulous way to imbue your outfit with color and dressy style. Full of symbolism, these accessories convey respect and sophistication. Ribbons and ties may have originated in men’s fashions, but they’ve expanded over time to include everyone — even the family pet.
1. Mesmerizing Patterns.
Complete your ensemble with a splash of vibrant color. Brilliant orange and blue florals, fascinating abstract patterns and subtle monochrome prints energize your favorite suit and make it feel like a completely different outfit. For added elegance, pair one of these ties with a pocket square in a matching hue.
