Midnight Baroque Silk Tie with Clear & Jet Crystal Scrollwork

Product Description

This tie is a deep black silk jacquard with a woven background of tiny tonal swirls that only shows up as the light moves across it. On top sits a bold baroque pattern in silver-grey: curling acanthus leaves, small three-petal blossoms and large ornate medallions. A few of the scrolls pick up a soft lavender-grey tint. Clear crystals are set across the medallions and along the curling leaves, with a few jet-black stones mixed in for depth. The sparkle is concentrated on the upper and middle blade, where it catches the eye, and the lower blade is left as pure woven damask.

Fashion Guide

Black and silver give this tie real evening polish. It’s a natural choice for black-tie-optional events, winter weddings, galas and holiday parties. The monochrome palette goes with nearly any suit color, including charcoal, black, midnight navy and even a deep burgundy dinner jacket. It’s also calm enough for a sharp business look after dark. A white or pale silver shirt keeps the contrast crisp and lets the crystals stand out.

Care Guide

• Dry clean only, and let your cleaner know about the crystal embellishments
• Store rolled or hung flat so the silk and settings stay in shape
• Keep perfume, cologne and lotion away from the silk and crystals
• If pressing is needed, iron on low heat on the reverse side with a cloth between

Styling Notes

Try it with a charcoal or black suit, a crisp white shirt and a silver-grey pocket square in a solid weave. Polished black oxfords and simple silver cufflinks finish the evening look.
