Racing Stripes

If you've already embraced the knit tie, and for your sake we hope you have, here's a twist you might want to try this spring. This tie from the new spring collection at Brooks Brothers, features a trio of stripes not unlike those you might find on a boat's sail, an old muscle car's hood or a vintage varsity sweater's sleeve. Placed high enough to clear a buttoned jacket, the stripes give your standard tie—in this case, a two-and-a-half-inch Italian silk knit—just enough flair to push you ahead of the pack, stylewise.
