A great tie can mean the difference between hot and just ho-hum. But do you need to sink a fortune into a little slip of silk just to make a big impression, or can a less expensive tie be just as cool? Consider these: one is more break-the-bank than budget, while the other will leave you with enough to buy one in another color, too. Which is which?
The polka-dot tie is the budget option, a Pronto Uomo from Men’s Wearhouse for $39.99, while the paisley is a budget-breaker, a Brioni set at Bergdorf for $290. Okay, so you get the pocket square too, but somehow that just still doesn’t seem worth it. Besides, we don’t love a matching square—use a complimenting or contrasting one instead for a much more original style statement.
