For those who want to embrace seasonal trends and enjoy ties in a positive way, we recommend variations in stripe patterns with different spacing. Most people probably already own ties with regular stripes in their wardrobe, but what's fresh this season are the irregular patterns. At first glance, they might seem intimidating, but once you tie them, you'll be delighted by the light and cheerful impression they give.


For example, Drake's tie with a terracotta base and black accents creates a very sharp impression because the knot is plain when tied. Add this unique pattern, which condenses the trendy words retro and classic, to your wardrobe.
