Chartreuse? Sky blue? Damn gutsy. Marc Jacobs uses color in a very sophisticated way here. The chunky segments of color with the chunky color progression is, well, besides being chunky, amazingly aesthetically pleasing, especially when it's basically the centerpiece of your outfit (note: I think white/cream is pretty much the only thing that goes with that tie. Anything more and you get color overload). The black stripe at the end is both humorous (completely unexpected) and functional: it serves as a visual contrast to tell you "the tie ends here." Also, note that the chunky parallelograms of color in the tie mirror the diamond patchwork of the jacket (Vuitton's new "spiral" cutting technique).
This tie is almost the opposite of the previous one: not chunky at all, just ridiculously sleek. Once again, Jacobs is using color so well: the silver works as a great highlight, giving the outfit some pop, while the use of ombre (fading from one color to another) to match the black shirt is cool and humorous without being gimmicky.
