Kiton

Greece. That's all I can think about. Olive branches. That blue.

Canada. Maple leaves. That's all.

In all seriousness, these Kiton ties are gorgeous. The micro-sized pattern, the color scheme (white over base color): it all adds up to a sophisticated, elaborate, and decadent tie.

And with Kiton, you know you're getting amazing quality; afterall, these ties are $172... on Bluefly...

60s!

The colors in this Zegna tie are amazing. The light blue and the stripe colors are very retro, very 60s; the tie looks like a Saul Bass film introduction (check out the title credits for "Around the World in 80 Days" and "West Side Story"). Even the stripe pattern is evocative of Saul Bass (check out "Psycho" and the Saul Bass inspired "Catch Me if You Can" intro below).
