This really is a gorgeous tie, and I love when my husband wears it. It really pops! The color is even better in person, and the purple magenta color is not too feminine. I couldn't decide between this one and the Eggplant Paisley tie, so I got him both for Christmas. And he loves them both! He also adds a nice tie bar clip or pin to really make it stand out. I would definitely recommend TheTieBar. Great ties :)
