A 100% silk tie is the most traditional and the most versatile. It’s one of the few fabrics that can be worn year-round, depending on the color and pattern. This playful colorful pattern, for example, is great for Summer (with a poplin shirt and tropical wool suit, as shown) but perhaps a little too vibrant to jive with more rough and rugged Winter pieces.
