While running an errand yesterday, I stopped in at one of my favorite little vintage shops and picked up a few new (used) ties. I was looking for some colors I don't have yet to round out my collection, and among those colors is purple. My criteria is strict: silk material, no tears or snags, stains, nor obnoxious, overly novel patterns. I chose to wear my Jack Victor super 120s wool suit as the base for this tie, and also a burgundy odd vest. To maintain cohesion and suited formality, I chose not to add in too many other colors or patterns, as it can be a bit difficult to pair an odd vest with a suit. The outfit was finished with burgundy tassel loafers from Allen Edmonds, burgundy watch, blue pocket square, and camel colored wool overcoat.
