A3 Blue Plaid Tie by Blackbird

While some may contend that it’s far too hot outside to wear neckties, we argue that looking stylish is always in season. The trick is not to overdo it. Drop the black slacks for light khakis, and leave the suit jacket at home. Forget the undershirt, and roll the cuffs on a white shirt. Leave the top button undone, and work a lightweight, skinny tie, like this piece from Blackbird. Comfort and style, don’t ever think you have to compromise either.
