Weekly Theme: Winter/Spring Transition

For those going to early spring weddings, this is the perfect tie for you. The lighter blue lends itself to be more Springy, while the rich wool texture is perfect for Winter.

Wear it with a navy blue or light grey suit, a white shirt, and cordovan shoes for a classy look that will get you noticed, but not more than the bride.
