Nothing says more about a man’s taste and style - or lack thereof - than his choice of necktie. You’re sure to pass the test with flying colors, not to mention exquisite craftsmanship and whimsical themes (cocktails and pink flamingos, to name a couple), when you don a cravat from Lee Allison’s Chicago tie company Four-In-Hands. Get natty for $80. At Barneys and other selected fine men’s stores nationwide.
