Ties…With ties - from my own experience - there are two distinct extremes.
One has the conservative, fat , blandly patterned/coloured group which one finds in such dreary department stores and M&S sported by corporate types and their style. Its boring.
Then, there is the abundance of skinny supplied by trend-led, hipster stores such as “Topman” and the like. These are some cheap, if you’re terribly lucky, and may be smothered with some typically-’Topman’ pattern e.g. stars or in a graphic check. These are ubiquitous.
Now, I wish we were offered more. So I was pleasantly surprised by this lot which I feel combine the smartness ties of shape - being sufficiently broad but not overly so - and inventive, attractive colouring/patterns. They’re by Sovereign Beck Ties, based in NY an enterprise led by Ryan and Will, you will see the different!
