One thing I am a firm believer in is shopping for upcoming seasons during sale periods. Say get a classic winter coat during winter sales for next winter or shorts for next summer during summer sales. The key is to pick the right pieces, ones that will not go out of style and can give you mileage for years and years to come.
So year-end sales are now on and it's a good time to start thinking about spring/summer. Take this bold tie for example, it will look splendid come spring. The color contrast of the bright orange against the black background makes for an instant pop. An eye-catching piece that allows you to play with color and jazz things up a little.
And as you might have guessed, it's on sale. Get this Band Of Outsiders Candy Striped Striped Tie for US$135 US$79 at Barneys.
