A TOP-NOTCH TIE
FOR FATHER’S DAY

Looking for something to pep up your tailoring? A slim knitted tie is a considered, quick and affordable update

Sprezzatura is Italian style speak for making an effort to look effortless. It’s the holy grail of menswear, but there are ways to look nonchalantly cool that don’t require hours of outfit planning. Exhibit A: the knitted tie. More casual than its flat-woven cousins, it has an offhand charm, a modern shape, and a bobbly surface that adds welcome texture. It’s a not-too-scary departure from the norm – great, then, as a Father’s Day gift. Our pick of the nine colour options is this camel shade – the perfect partner to a wedding-ready linen suit – but whichever you choose, it’ll subtly single you out as someone with impeccable taste.
