With the attitude of suits this season being solid greys and blues, what more could we ask for in a tie, than this authoritative silk, striped offering from American heritage label, J. Crew. Famous for their casual ivy league designs, J. Crew continues to deliver sensible cuts yet manage to capture the excitement of a fresh palette.

This slim style is made from 100% silk, in a tri-coloured motif. Still pulling a bit of a Madmen thing, the gently stoic striped silk tie from J. Crew is available online here.
