Classic


Regis Philbin ruined solid ties for me. "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" became HUGE and solid ties (especially ones with a metallic sheen) were around everyone's necks, including mine. Boo. Now everytime I see a solid tie, a little part of me dies. Thanks, Regis.

And that is why I love this monochromatic black paisley Brioni. From far away, it's just a boring black tie; but when you get up close, it's like "gotcha!" I'm not a fan of paisley, but here it looks gorgeous and sophisticated; the black on black makes the paisley less gaudy and the paisley makes the black tie less somber. Two very conventional elements in perfect harmony.

Great tie, and great blog.

I love ties myself, and am always looking around for new colors/ patterns/ designs that catch my eye.

Please continue to update with different ties and your perspective on them. It makes for a unique and refreshing blog.
