It's not that a silk tie would look out of place under your sweater or paired with a tweed vest or corduroy blazer. It's that a wooly tie in a winter-weight fabric (think woven cashmere, tweed and flannel) just looks better. One part natty Ivy League professor and one part dapper cad about town, knot one with a crisp white oxford and call it a day. The textured ties�may not add much warmth, but they feel as good as they look. And if you're thinking that seasonal ties are�superfluous, just ask those screaming pundits on TV if a man's choice in neckwear matters.

 

A wooly accessory with a lot more warmth? The classic marled Wigwam socks. $11 a pair, by Wigwam.

A well-tied tie is the first serious step in life.
