Tie

A polka-dot tie in deep red and black polyester, made for men who want a bit of personality in an otherwise formal outfit. The dots keep it playful without tipping into loud, so it works whether you are heading into a meeting or a wedding.

The pattern is the point here: a classic dot in red and black that pairs cleanly with a white or light blue shirt and a dark suit in navy, charcoal or black. The polyester holds its colour wash after wash and resists creasing, so it stays sharp with little effort.

For something more relaxed, wear it with a plain shirt, chinos or dark jeans and a blazer. Tie it in a Four-in-Hand for a slim knot or a Windsor for something fuller.
