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.
If you’re looking for a classic, sober and well-executed paisley pattern, then it’s hard to beat this tie, which will be perfect for bringing contrast to your light and medium-toned suits.
