There is something incredibly reassuring about a proper silk tie, and this Italian-made number hits the mark. Done in a deep, rich green paisley, it has a beautiful weight to it that knots cleanly without looking bulky. The pattern is intricate but muted enough that it won't scream for attention across the room. We love this paired with a simple white button-down and some heavy-textured corduroy trousers for a look that feels smart but not stuffy. It is exactly what you want to be wearing for winter weddings, city registry offices, or when you just need to look sharp for a big meeting. Made from pure silk, it has a subtle, natural sheen rather than a cheap, shiny finish. It is a solid, classic piece that does the hard work for you.
