Patterns and styling tips
The paisley motif
Paisley was mostly worn by the son of a good family, first in England but also in Ivy League families. It was one of the few ties whose pattern was considered whimsical but acceptable in a casual setting.
These days, reserve imposing paisleys for outfits with tweed and flannel, and indulge your business outfits with more discreet patterns.
The Paisley pattern on this tie is a bright blue, so it can also be worn mid-season with a lighter suit.
