Most knowledgeable observers consider the well dressed Italian man to be the most clothes conscious in the world. And more than 70% of the neckties sold in Italy are blue.
Coincidence? I don't think so. Blue is the most flexible necktie color. In shades from darkest navy to very pale it complements most dress shirts and gray, brown or blue jackets.
This week I am featuring two lighter blue neckties for the season. One is a navy, royal and white jacquard by Michael Drake. The other is a typically Italian Cappelli six-fold foulard with navy and white figures on a teal blue ground.
Customers outside the United States, Canada and Mexico should note that there is currently a minimum shipping charge of $27 to their destinations. This is the lowest cost option from the U.S. that provides tracking in transit. It is for a medium sized box that can comfortably hold a dozen or more neckties and pocket squares, so ordering more than one item costs no more for shipping.
I hope to see you at the store.

Italians were the most clothes conscious but you only need to walk round any big city to see that they dress grunge now , grunge as in bad
not to put down wearing blue, but I suspect that Italian men mostly wear blue because it's the same color as the National football team.
If you don't live in Italy you can think that its about flair and elegance and that would be fair. The reality is far different. I was on the tube yesterday and of the few wearing tidy clothes not one had given a shine to their shoes.
