I bought this set as a surprise gift for my dad to wear for my wedding :) it was themed in lavander, and he was wearing a classic silver vest under a dark suit with white shirt. This tie was PERFECT! it is very subtle purple, it is very silver, only with a little lavender to give it a bit of color. The touch feels very silky and the whole set looks expensive and nice. It makes a great gift and I totally recommend any set in this collection because I have bought around 10 different ones for family members, and they are all very classy and very good quality.
