While knit ties are often associated with Ivy League or traditional styles, Yamauchi says, "Navy is the classic choice for knit ties, but black is a fresh option this season! It's selling well in stores. Pairing a knit tie with a regular collar shirt and adding a tie bar will give you a more contemporary look."
The lineup also includes knit ties in navy with a textured weave, allowing you to create a youthful and refined V-zone.

Regarding pocket squares, the expert recommends, "A plain white linen pocket square folded in a TV fold is a foolproof style that's appropriate for any occasion. You can also have fun with it by changing the way you fold it to suit the time, place, and occasion, such as using a plain white pocket square with a colored edge or one with different prints on each side."
Once you've mastered using a versatile plain white linen obi, I encourage you to try designs that aren't too simple, or reversible obi that can be enjoyed in many ways depending on how you wear them.

In the intermediate level, we'll be focusing on that ingredient whose sweet texture is incredibly addictive.
