Tie

A navy tie with pink stripes, cut in polyester so the knot sits crisp and the colour stays put through the day. It's a tie for men who want a bit of personality in a formal look without going loud.

The navy ground keeps things classic while the pink stripes give you something to talk about at a wedding, a work meeting or a family celebration. Polyester holds its shape and knots cleanly, so you get a neat dimple without much fuss.

Wear it against a white or light blue shirt for the safe route, or push it a touch further with a pale pink shirt to pick up the stripe.
