Blue is a color often associated with bad tempers, dark moods and general melancholy - but casting an eye over this Italian silk tie brings none of those feelings to the surface. Two different shades of blue - one navy, one altogether paler - sit neatly together in diagonal rows, spaced widely to give an impression of space. No one could feel sad looking at this exquisite craftsmanship, especially considering the tie is a clip on - oh the ease of use! - and is 20.5" in length, finishing off the classically standard yet dynamic look perfectly.
