Right, so this oatmeal knitted tie is a bit of a gem. It’s been handmade in Italy from 100% recycled wool, which honestly feels lovely – proper soft and lightweight, so you can wear it without feeling like you're being strangled, no matter the season. The blade is a neat 8.5cm, finished with serious care in Como. The beauty of this tie is how much mileage you'll get out of it. You can totally dress it down with a denim shirt and an overshirt for a relaxed weekend vibe. But then, it switches gears completely to look really sharp with a proper suit, whether you're off to a big work do, a wedding, or any kind of special occasion. That gentle oatmeal shade is a dream to style. It just works with everything – navy, grey, lighter suitings, you name it. It's that understated touch that makes an outfit feel a bit more put-together, whether it's for a wedding guest look, a day at the races, or just smartening up your everyday.
