I got this tie for my husband, who doesn't often wear cufflinks, but he does wear ties for work. I know he is a bit daring these days and I went for this gold tie with a pattern. At first he didn't love the pattern (but that is completely personal) as he doesn't have many with this kind of decoration... but whe he tried it with a crisp white shirt, and he buttoned up the coat he saw it looked really nice. It has just the right amount of detail. It is however a bit more yellow than it looks in the picture. You could think it is like beige, but it is a little bit like gold-ish, It looks really nice with a khaki suit and a cream colored shirt, or with a white shirt and a dark suit. I totally recommend this collection -I have bought at least 10 sets for different family member and we have always been very pleased with the quality of the materials and the beautiful tie colors and patterns. It looks and feels like an expensive tie, but it is really affordable!
