It’s always helpful to have reliable accessories that can be trusted at a moment’s notice: The workhorse sport coat, the casual field coat, the wear-with-anything white Oxford shirt. The same can be said of your rotation of handsome neckwear. While a mix of pattern and color is nearly a requirement for today’s modern man, some flagship ties are a downright essential. Take a blue tie, particularly one in a shade that’s just a touch lighter than classic navy. The color works with everything from light khaki to deep tobacco and even darker shades of navy, and elevates any tailored look in any season (spring and summer very much included).
