The 3 Most Versatile Ties I Own.

My three most versatile ties. Save the red one, they can be worn with everything I own. The entire rainbow and hues in between can be worn with the blue Churchill dot ties. Only a few colors don't work with the red spotted tie. For example, yellow and purple are horrible with it.

How to pull it off:

• Get dressed except for your tie.
• Throw on one of the Churchill patterned ties.
• Get in front of a mirror and make sure the combination of shirt, tie, and jacket harmonize.
• Check to see that you don't clash with your skin tone.
• Finally, smile, this is the easiest type of tie to wear.

Where to get them from:

• Ebay
• Bowties.com: R. Hanauer makes them in a variety of colors by hand in the US.
• Drakes of London: Drakes of London is an English tie and pocket square maker; they specialize in formal patterns like this one. Everything is handmade in England from some of the best silks.
• Thrift shops or Second hand stores: This pattern in those two colors is one of the easiest patterns to find, thanks to Winston Churchill.

Prices:

• $0=<>

1. Ebay under $25 but typically $3 - $5.
