They call them block stripes – the broad contrasting stripes that you see on AskOkey’s ties, and of course on ties from plenty of other firms.
AskOkey navy and burgundy block stripe tie
Suitable with formal and informal outfits, and, depending on the colours, a little more restrained than ties with narrow stripes, they offer a useful alternative when you are deciding how to put together the day’s outfit.
One advantage of these very wide stripes is that you can wear them easily with a striped shirt, without making everything look too “busy”. Or, a plain shirt, striped suit and block striped tie work well together, again avoiding that busy look.
AskOkey gives you two options: the burgundy and navy number shown above, and the brown, blue and tan combination, shown below:
